Recommended Hemostasis and Retraction System: Traxodent®
We recommend the product Traxodent® by Premier, a new hemostasis and retraction system for your dentists. Compared to similar products on the market, we’ve found this system to be more cost effective and easier to use for achieving retraction of the sulcus and ultimately a void-free, more detailed impression. Contact us for more information or visit this link: Premier.
New High Noble Yellow Alloy for Bridges
We have added a new alloy for PFMs, Argedent 90. This alloy will be used for all High Noble Yellow Gold bridges in place of the 75% gold alloy. Argedent 90 provides a warmer yellow color that many have requested. This product has been added to the Fixed Lab Script.
