,A 100% unfilled resin, SeamFree naturally absorbs into all composite materials with no additional film thickness and provides faster, easier handling without stickiness, ,
,The search for products or materials that make life a bit easier is a never-ending chase. In dentistry, where every appointment can present challenges, any product that can make a workflow proceed more smoothly earns a spot on the operatory shelves. For Troy Schmedding, DDS, AACD, SeamFree is one such material., ,Vista Apex’s SeamFree Composite Wetting Resin and Lubricant can make handling composite materials faster, easier, and more consistent, resulting in a more efficient workflow and less time in the chair for patients., ,“This is a great material because it allows you to manipulate your composites without creating bubbles, voids, or gaps, or any of the other issues that can happen,” explained Dr. Schmedding, whose practice is in Walnut Creek, CA. “SeamFree takes away the tackiness or stickiness of the material, which means it’s not going to stick to your instruments,” he continued., , ,
, ,“…You’re saving time and it makes it much easier to manipulate your composite.”
—Troy Schmedding, DDS, AACD, ,This ease of use is largely due to SeamFree’s unique composition, which sets it apart from similar products. SeamFree is 100% unfilled resin, a characteristic that means it does not add layers or thickness to composites and does not need to be dried or light cured—it will never polymerize on its own. Additionally, SeamFree does not change the physical properties of composite materials, contains no solvent, and is compatible with all methylmethacrylate materials., ,“There’s no interaction issues with any of my composite materials,” Dr. Schmedding explained. “SeamFree also gives me the advantage of not having to worry about an additive thickness to my material because its composition means it does not add film thickness or seams to the final restoration,” he continued. “I don’t have to light cure it—in fact, I don’t have to do anything with it because as soon as I’m done moving my composite, this material naturally absorbs into the composite, which is extremely critical from a usage standpoint, with no residue and no film thickness.”, ,The unique chemical composition of SeamFree results in an easy, highly versatile material that can significantly reduce polishing, sculpting, and shaping time, and is suitable for both direct and indirect restorations. SeamFree is available in 1.2- ml prefilled syringe kits or a 3-ml bottle kit with applicators., ,“There’s a great amount of usage with SeamFree,” Dr. Schmedding said. “I use it mostly for my anterior and posterior composites, and it’s very helpful when I’m packing composite in posterior restorations. With no separate curing step, it’s just part of the overall restorative process, so you’re saving time and it makes it much easier to manipulate your composite.”, ,To browse the full line of vista Apex endodontic and restorative products, click here.
