Imagine, it’s the end of that veneer appointment. You’re tired, your patient is tired and you still have to make the temps shine. One option is polishing the temps with the various cups, disks and points in your composite armentarium. Or another more appealing option is placing a light cured glaze over the top of temporaries and light curing leaving you with a shiny smooth surface free of the sticky oxygen inhibited layer. The temporaries not only look amazingly smooth, but
are more stain resistant. This process is fast and easy. Try it as that final step to provide your patients with that great ‘wet’ look in just a minute’s worth of work.

The list of ingredients lists ‘multifunctional acrylates’ which enables you to use this material as a bonding agent when repairing or adding to provisional materials. Just roughen the surface to be repaired, apply a layer of QuikGlaze, then cure the material and place the repair material on top. After curing you have bonded the layers together.

So this versatile glaze material is a light-cured methyl methacrylate varnish that can be used in the following situations:

  • Repair of provisional resin materials

  • Seals surfaces of temporary resin material

  • Eliminates time consuming polishing of resin temporaries

In this issue I’ve discussed... products that are proved performers at LVI. With the hundreds of doctors we train each year these products have proven their worth in the clinic... a fast glazing agent that will save you valuable minutes while providing your patients with knockout smiles while in their temporaries.
