TECO bonding system "editor's choice"

TECO, the new Total Etch bonding system from DMG, has received four and a half out of a possible five "pluses" as well as the "Editor's Choice" rating in the recent September 2008 issue of the Dental Advisor.

"The positive rating from the independent publication once again confirms the advantages that TECO has to offer," said David Leahy, Clinical Business Unit Manager for Gunz Dental. "As well as superior bonding properties (38 MPa), the bonding system impresses with its user-friendly DMG-patented single dose application form, the SilvR dose.

"The material is activated by simply pressing on the silver chamber and can be used immediately – with one hand – and is fast, clean and safe. Plus, the SilvR dose is stable and can be placed on the work surface when not in use."

Additional assurance for a reliable bond is provided by the user-friendly Total Etch method for which the area to be treated is first etched with phosphoric acid. This technique makes working possible even on moist areas, thus preventing over-drying of the dentine and damage to the collagen network.

The Dental Advisor conducts its product tests under scientific conditions in cooperation with more than 250 independent testers and consultants.
