We know that providing quality restorations is essential for ensuring the long-term oral health of your patients. Not only do restorations improve the function and appearance of teeth, but they also provide a vital line of defence against further decay or damage.

That is why at Henry Schein we have everything you need for a successful restorative workflow.

Why Do Dental Restorations Matter?

Dental restorations are one of the most common treatments required in dentistry, so it's essential that you provide your patients with the highest quality restorations possible.

A great restoration not only improves the function and aesthetics of the patient's teeth, but it can also make a difference to overall oral health and wellbeing. On the other hand, a poorly executed restoration can lead to complications such as further decay, discomfort, and even the loss of the affected tooth.

Patients who are dissatisfied with the results of a restoration are also more likely to switch to a different dentist, which can result in lost revenue and a damaged reputation. Therefore, it's crucial to use quality products and techniques to ensure that every restoration is of the highest standard.

A Seamless Restorative Workflow Etch Gel

Etching is a crucial step in dental restorations as it allows the bonding agents to attach restorative work with greater ease and strength. To be successful, an etch gel must possess several key qualities:

  • It must have the right viscosity and thixotropic properties to ensure precise and effortless placement.
  • It should be self-limiting, meaning that it stops etching at the ideal depth, avoiding over-etching or incomplete resin impregnation.
  • The etch gel must be easily visible, so that dentists can be sure that all of it has been removed.

This is where Henry Schein's 37% blue Etch Gel shines. It has excellent viscosity and superior thixotropic properties, allowing for exceptional precision and placement. Also, the bright blue colour of the gel makes it easily identifiable for the most accurate placement possible.
