,Sterngold’s InstaTemp Max, TempoLok, and EZ PickUp provisional materials help improve practice efficiencies and the patient experience, ,
,When Dr. Dilip Dudhat decided to invest in new provisional materials several years ago, he was looking for products that would shorten chair time, reduce revisits, and provide an overall better patient experience. That’s exactly what he found with InstaTemp Max, TempoLok, and EZ PickUp from Sterngold. The strong materials have opened up more chair time in his practice, saving him about 20 minutes a day— time he can now use to see more patients., ,“The main benefit of these products is that they improve my efficiency,” Dr. Dudhat said. “And my team loves them, too. When they’re happy, my patients are happy, and patient satisfaction turns to productivity.”, ,InstaTemp Max is a self-curing, bis-acryl, temporary crown and bridge material that’s odorless and tasteless. It sets in about 3 minutes, shortening procedure time, and has low exothermic properties and high biocompatibility. Dr. Dudhat uses the material for all types of temporary restorations, including full-mouth reconstructions. And, because of the material’s strength, he knows he likely won’t see patients back in the chair until the final restoration is ready for placement. It also flows better and provides higher esthetics than similar products he’s used in the past., ,“I switched to InstaTemp Max because of its strength and shade-matching ability, as well as its setting properties,” he said. “You get a better outcome, and more bang for your buck.”, ,An automix, non-eugenol, zinc oxide temporary cement, TempoLok makes it easy to precisely place temporaries. It’s resistant to saliva, remains stable in the mouth, and withstands mastication. It comes in a syringe automix delivery system. Like InstaTemp, the material is strong, which Dr. Dudhat feels reduces time-consuming revisits. He also likes the consistency, the esthetics, and the fact it flows so well, which saves time. “I now use TempoLok for all my cementation of temporary implant restorations,” he said. “It provides a better patient experience, a better doctor experience, and better productivity.”, ,Dr. Dudhat’s material of choice for all denture and overdenture pickup cases, this tissue-colored, automix, self-curing attachment processing material is odorless and tasteless. It also has less than 1% shrinkage, leading to a more accurate and complete pickup of any attachment., ,Not only do these Sterngold products increase efficiencies and save time, but Dr. Dudhat appreciates that they’re from a trusted company with a history that dates back 125 years. “Sterngold has been around for many years and has a wonderful reputation,” he said. “Customer service is great, and they ship out the product that same day, so we are rarely without what we need.”
