Material Options for Lab Processed Temporaries
Posted on 10/05/2011
There are several different material options for lab processed temporaries. The main factor influencing the material choice is the duration of patient usage. For temporaries that are expected to last three to six months, popular brands and materials include Jet Acrylic by Lang Dental or DVA C&B Resin by Indenco. We have also had success in using the Stern Vantage Varnish made by Sterngold. The varnish can enhance the final temporary giving it a much more glossy look and feel.
For long term temporaries designed to last more than six months, we recommend Radica by Dentsply. It is a composite resin with long lasting durability. Additionally, it has a very nice finish almost mimicking porcelain.
