Restoration Repairs Made Easy

When a restoration breaks or fails, the last thing patients want to hear is they need a new one. Patients come to you hoping you can quickly fix the problem and send them on their way. With BISCO’s Intraoral Repair Kit, you can.

The versatile, cost-effective kit includes BISCO's Z-Prime Plus, Porcelain Primer, Porcelain Bonding Resin, Dual-Cured Opaquer, Porcelain Etchant (9.5% HF) and Barrier Gel, and can be used to repair porcelain, lithium disilicate, porcelain-fused-to-metal, zirconia/alumina, and direct or indirect composite restorations.

Dr. Alan Pressman, who practices in Spring Valley, NY, has relied on the kit for about a year and a half and describes it as the “perfect Band-Aid” for damaged restorations. The kit makes repairs easy and efficient, a benefit for both his patients and his practice.

“It’s a marvelous kit,” he said. “It gives you everything you could possibly need to do a porcelain repair. I even use it for e.max.”

Versatile Applications for a Range of Cases

The kit can handle a variety of restoration repairs. Dr. Pressman has used it, for example, to bond a piece of porcelain back on a crown and to repair a hole in a 3-unit bridge.

“You couldn’t even tell,” he said of the bridge repair. “It worked great.”

He’s also used the kit to redo the facing on a molar because the patient couldn’t afford a new crown, as well as to splint 2 crowns together for periodontal reasons.

While he loves the fact that the kit makes so many types of repairs seamless, the money it saves his patients also is a key benefit. “Cost savings to the patient are astronomical,” Dr. Pressman said. “It would cost $1,500 for a crown, and a 3-unit bridge would be $4,500. But it costs the patient just a few hundred dollars for a repair.”

Cost-Effective Repairs That Patients Appreciate

No matter the type of case, patients are very appreciative when they learn that Dr. Pressman can repair rather than replace.

Many patients simply can’t afford a new restoration when something goes wrong with their first one, he noted. Because BISCO’s Intraoral Repair Kit has everything he needs for seamless repairs, he can quickly get the damaged restoration looking and feeling like new again without the high price tag—a welcome relief for patients.

Incredible Products, Incredible Results

Dr. Pressman loves BISCO products and uses many others in his practice, including All-Bond Universal, TheraCem, and TheraCal LC. He values his strong relationship with his rep and trusts both her and BISCO’s customer support team with any questions or concerns—though those are rare.

The Intraoral Repair Kit is among his go-to BISCO solutions. It enables him to efficiently repair a variety of restorations rather than replace them, saving his patients money and himself time.

"It is very versatile and easy to use,” he said. “And the results are incredible."
