Proprietary chemistry provides greater strength, dimensional stability, and a tighter fitting provisional restoration as compared to acrylics and bis-acrylics.

WATERTOWN, Massachusetts--Pulpdent Corporation has introduced Tuff-Temp Provisional Veneer, Crown & Bridge Resin.

The proprietary chemistry provides greater strength and dimensional stability, and a tighter fitting provisional restoration as compared to acrylics and bis-acrylics.

With Pulpdent Tuff-Temp Resin, temporaries are tough, impact-resistant, and grip the teeth. Chipping, breaking, debonding, and recementations are minimized or eliminated.

Tuff-Temp is designed to grind and powder to produce accurate margins that do not soften or distort. It does not gum up or clog finishing instruments.

Exceptional results can be achieved by trimming with a slow speed acrylic bur, fine grit diamond bur, or finishing and polishing disk system. A fast application of Tuff-Temp Provisional Glaze provides enhanced esthetics during temporization.

Tuff-Temp is dual-cure. It self-cures ,and has a light-cure option to produce a final set, full-strength restoration on demand. The fast light-cure option can also be used with a clear vinyl polysiloxane template.

For alterations or smile design, the Tuff-Temp system includes Tuff-Temp Provisional Add-on, a shade-matching, light cure, flowable resin formulated from the Pulpdent's proprietary rubberized-urethane chemistry.

Tuff-Temp is packaged in a 50-mL automix cartridge that fits into a standard one-to-one gun used for impression materials. It is available in six shades: A1, A2, A3, A3.5, B1, and Bleach.
