New Products from 3M ESPE

PROTEMP 4

KetacNano

Protemp 4 is the first nanotechnology-based bis-acrylic material that includes a new generation of sophisticated fillers

The result is unparallel strength and fracture resistance.It offers easy handling and eliminates the need to polish - just clean with ethanol for a shiny, smooth surface.

 

PENTAMIX 3

KetacNano

The Fastest Automatic Mixer In The Universe

The latest state-of-the-art automatic mixing unit, featuring faster speeds and a smaller footprint than any other automatic mixing and dispensing system in the industry.

Boasting twice the speed of the Pentamix™ 2 Automatic Mixing Unit, the Pentamix 3 mixing unit offers the ability to utilize a broad range of material viscosities, especially quick setting materials, and consistently provides homogenous, voidfree automatic mixing at the touch of a button.  A faster mix allows for increased working time and less distortion of the impression.

The new high-tech design and easy-to-use features of the Pentamix 3 mixing unit ensure accurate dispensing of the materials and comfortable handling for users. New Penta™ cartridges for Pentamix 3 mixing unit feature product names, working times and setting times printed on the cartridge lever for clear visibility when the device cover is closed, reducing the potential for error and waste.

Ketac Nano

KetacNano

The world’s first NANO-IONOMER

The world’s first NANO-IONOMER Ketac Nano™ Light Curing Glass Ionomer Restorative is a paste/paste, resin modified glass ionomer material developed with nanotechnology.

Because it adds benefits not usually associated with glass ionomers, this has resulted in the availability of an entirely NEW category of glass ionomer restorative-NANO-IONOMER and it offers the following:

  • Excellent Aesthetics
  • Superb polishability
  • High Fluoride Release
  • Higher Wear Resistance
  • Available in Vita A1, A2, A3, A3.5, A4, B2, C2

This unique aesthetic glass ionomer alternative meets a wide range of clinical indications:

  • Primary Dentition
  • Small Class I Restorations
  • Class III & V Restorations
  • Transitional Restorations
  • Sandwich Restorations
  • Core Build-ups

Adper™ Scotchbond™ SE Self-Etch Adhesive

Adper

Confidence from Start to Finish

New Adper™ Scotchbond™ SE incorporates a unique “colour change indicator” ensuring visual confirmation of adhesive coverage & proper etch activation.

The technique also provides for a solvent free, hydrophobic overcoat similar to the bonding philosophy of AdperTM ScotchbondTM Multi-Purpose Adhesive. This combined unique and novel bonding approach importantly results in low technique sensitivity and more consistent performance.

Summary of Clinical Advantages:

  • Total etch performance in a self etch adhesive
  • Reduced risk of post-operative sensitivity
  • Radiopaque to reduce risk of mis-diagnosis of decay
  • Colour change indicator verifies coverage & activation
  • Patented bonded nanofiller for optimised bond strength
  • Moisture tolerant - works on wet or dry enamel & dentine
  • Good stability - without refrigeration or shaking
  • Root surface desensitizer

Imprint™ 3 Penta Putty

Imprint™ 3 Penta™ Putty Impression Material provides all the benefits of a true putty, including higher consistency and insertion force than heavy body materials. Plus, it is designed exclusively for use with the Pentamix™ 2 Mixing Unit – enabling reliable and reproducible dosage.

Thermally active putty saves time while delivering excellent results.

All impression materials get warmer – and therefore set faster – when placed in the mouth. Imprint 3 Penta Putty material exits the 3M™ ESPE™ Pentamix 2 unit at approximately 97ºF.

Because Imprint 3 Penta Putty is already warm when it is seated in the mouth, it helps warm up the wash material, actually accelerating setting time without reducing the intraoral working time.

Imprint 3 Penta Putty offers high detail reproduction and the same consistency and insertion force as conventional hand-mix putties. Without the potential for negative interaction between putty and glove.
