Ultrapak

Ultrapak, Ultradent’s original, knitted cord, provides rapid tissue displacement, detailed margins and quality impressions every time. Its knitted structure facilitates easy packing and stays placed better than any twisted or braided cord. UltraPak’s unique knit also compresses upon packing, then expands for optimal retraction and will never tangle in the diamond bur. UltraPak CleanCut features a high carbon steel blade in the cap for ultimate convenience. The thin plastic gate prevents the cord from falling into the bottle upon cutting. UltraPak CleanCut also features a ruler printed on the label for easy cord measurement.

Tissue management through active haemostasis

31 Oct 2013 | Special Report

As a young dentist, I often came across crown and bridge restorations with defective margins. I discovered that crown margins with an imperfect fit are by far the most common cause of restoration failure, so I began to explore what was responsible for this. First, I noticed the difficulty of accurately capturing the margin in the impression. The s...

Prefabricated veneers: A hybrid technique for easier and more affordable aesthetic results

31 Jul 2013 | Clinical Excellence

Some time ago, the creation of direct composite restorations was a dream still to be achieved. Back then, composites lacked even some basic optical properties of teeth. By the end of the 1990s, this scenario changed as manufacturers of composite resins began to improve the optical properties of this material. Composite resins started to be manufact...
