FORMA composite features a zirconia nano-hybrid formula that allows for an exceptionally durable restoration with better initial and retained gloss. The silanated zirconia particles in FORMA composite are rounded, giving a beautiful high gloss finish and enhanced durability to the restoration—making FORMA composite ideal for both anterior and posterior applications.

Meeting Chairside Challenges J-Temp temporary resin was developed by Ultradent’s own Dr. Jaleena Fischer-Jessop to better meet the wide variety of needs that clinicians face. It is a radiopaque, light-cured, flowable, methacrylate-based resin that provides a durable—yet temporary—material for multiple uses such as temporary restorations, tooth buildups, and more. J-Temp temporary resin has less than a 5% shrinkage volume, reducing the possibility of an open margin around a temporary restoration. Its distinctive purple color can be easily differentiated from enamel and dentin. J-Temp temporary resin is easy to deliver via syringe with Ultradent’s Black Mini Tip. The viscosity of the material allows a predictable flow which adapts to the tooth structure. Additionally, it can be visualized under X-ray to assure all temporary resin has been removed. Designed by dentists, for dentists, J-Temp temporary resin is the versatile multi-purpose every office needs.

A young woman in her 20s, burdened by the discoloration of her upper anterior teeth from past trauma, came to Dr. Jaleena Fischer-Jessop, DDS, MBA, searching for a solution that would restore her smile. The patient was treated with a conservative and cost-effective solution: no-prep direct-bonded composite veneers. Dr. Fischer-Jessop chose this method to mask the discoloration and match the patient’s upper teeth with the lower anteriors—avoiding the need for more invasive procedures like implants or costly lab processed veneers. The shades B1D and Enamel White (EW) were selected to lighten the teeth and Transcend™ composite’s Universal Body (UB) shade was used to ensure the margin blended naturally into the cervical areas.

There are two things dentists seem to always be striving to improve: speed and quality. With cases requiring a sectional matrix system being so common, one area where many clinicians look to save time and boost results is with the sectional matrix system they choose.

A quality matrix system is necessary for a large percentage of restorative cases, yet many fail to deliver elements clinicians need for the quality of work they want to provide. In creating the Halo™ Sectional Matrix System, developers identified areas where many of these systems are lacking and rectified them in ways dentists appreciate. With rings lasting more than 1000 uses, the Halo matrix system is a high-quality, long-lasting system for high-quality, long-lasting restorations.

What patients need to know about the lifespan and maintenance of their restorations.

Achieving a beautiful, naturally aesthetic smile is easier than you may think. The Uveneer™ and Uveneer™ Extra template systems were designed as a minimally invasive way to create high-quality, natural-looking composite veneers in one visit.
