A Trusted Restorative Partner

Over the years, EXACTA Dental Direct has built a reputation as a trusted partner for dental professionals. With its quality products, personalized service, and affordable prices, EXACTA empowers clinicians to provide top-notch care to every patient. Drs. Abraham Jaskiel and Scott Turik describe how EXACTA Core MFT core buildup material and EXACTA Temp Xtra temporary crown and bridge material have proven to be invaluable additions to their respective dental practices.

EXACTA Core MFT

A SOLID FOUNDATION

Thanks to the extra reinforcement provided by Micro Fiber Technology (MFT), EXACTA Core MFT produces core buildups with exceptional long-term strength and wear resistance. When Dr. Jaskiel needs to build a solid foundation for a restoration, he trusts EXACTA Core MFT to get the job done.

“I focus on biomimetic dentistry in my Miami dental practice, and I believe that fiber reinforcement is a critical component for long-term success,” shared Dr. Jaskiel. “One of the primary advantages ofusing EXACTA Core MFT is having the Micro Fiber Technology, which makes me feel more comfortable with the buildup,” he declared.

A TRUSTED LONG-TERM SOLUTION

EXACTA Core MFT is easy to place with an automix syringe, has a stable viscosity, and can be self- or light-cured. Dr. Jaskiel praised the material’s consistency and handling properties, as well as the ease of delivery and placement. “Because EXACTA Core MFT is thinner than some other core materials, it flows nicely into deep crevices of preparations and completely fills the gap while also grabbing the tooth nicely,” he explained. With these qualities, he said, “I feel that I can trust the material for a long-term restoration.”

EXACTA Temp Xtra

EFFICIENCY MEETS DURABILITY

Dr. Turik relies on EXACTA Temp Xtra in his Kenly, NC, practice to produce durable provisionals quickly and efficiently. While the material is strong enough for long-span bridges, Dr. Turik mainly uses it for single crowns. He pointed out several qualities that contribute to a quick temporary crown fabrication time.

“It has a quick setting time, easy handling properties, and very good polishing qualities,” he noted. He also complimented the material’s “several shades, very little mess, and reasonable price,” and, perhaps most importantly, said, “We have not had any failures with EXACTA Temp Xtra.”

IMPRESSIVE ESTHETICS

Dr. Jaskiel uses EXACTA Temp Xtra for single-unit posterior restorations (molars and premolars) and for splinted units when extra stability is required. Appreciating the material’s efficiency, he said, “Its mixing, handling, working, and setting times were very, very good compared to many other materials.” He also reported “simple trimming,  finishing, and cleanup” and said, “The material did not attach or grab onto the tooth much, providing reassurance that the restoration would not lock in.”

Noting that “the esthetics and shade-matching capabilities of EXACTA Temp Xtra are impressive,” Dr. Jaskiel explained, “It is not too opaque and has a nice, natural-looking translucency with almost no polishing needed.” In cases where adjustments were made with a bur, he said, “It polished very nicely with just a composite polishing wheel.”

Although he hasn’t had a chance to assess the long-term durability of EXACTA Temp Xtra, Dr. Jaskiel said, “The material stands up well and does not break easily.”
