Dr. DiTolla’s CLINICAL TIPS PRODUCT........ GripStrip SOURCE........... Centrix (Shelton, Conn.) 800-235-5862, www.centrixdental.com It would be impossible to practice modern adhesive dentistry without finishing strips, yet I haven’t seen many products to get excited about in the last few years. Enter GripStrip diamond-coated strips. Someone really smart over at Centrix realized how much easier it would be for dental professionals to control the use of metal finishing strips if there was a better way to hold onto them, and the perforated tabs at either end of these finishing and polishing strips solve that problem. There is an uncoated zone in the middle of each strip where there is no abrasive, allowing you to pull it through tight interproximal areas. Each strip also has a 40-micron grit side for finishing and a 15-micron grit side for polishing. It’s pretty much the perfect interproximal strip. Here’s hoping they come out with a serrated version for breaking through inadvertently fused contacts. 10 www.chairsidemagazine.com
Dr. DiTolla’s CLINICAL TIPS PRODUCT........ Luxatemp ® Ultra SOURCE........... DMG America (Englewood, N.J.) 800-662-6383, www.dmg-america.com Has it really been two decades since Luxatemp was introduced? Much like when your oldest child turns 21, this is one of those times when you ask, “Where did the time go?” Maybe it’s because Luxatemp has been my only chairside temporary material for 20 years, except when using BioTemps ® provisionals. In the past, I hated not being able to reline BioTemps with Luxatemp, due to its quick-setting reaction. It was the only time I would have to break out the stinky methyl methacrylate. The new Luxatemp Ultra has an elastic phase, so you can pump the BioTemps up and down on the preps to ensure they don’t get stuck in an undercut. Now, after being my longtime chairside temporary material of choice, Luxatemp’s newest formulation has become my BioTemps reline material of choice as well. Dr. DiTolla’s Clinical Tips11
