Using a heating pad can work wonders on sore muscles. Boiling water is the universal first step for a making a successful pasta dish. A glue gun warms a cold stick of glue before it shoots it out for your craft project.
So often it holds true: heating material up makes it easier to work with.
Dental composites also benefit from being heated. The warmth improves their strength and also makes them more flowable, reducing microleakage in the restoration. These are especially important qualities to have in a composite, especially as composite options become more heavily filled and therefore harder to extrude and manipulate.
You can reduce any frustration you might currently be experiencing working with composites by introducing a little warmth. AdDent’s Calset Composite Warmer can give you that quick, consistent heat. The Calset Composite Warmer has three temperature settings—98, 130 and 155 degrees—to meet both your and your patients’ needs.
Not only does the warmer make the composite more pliable and adaptable, but it can also cut your curing time in half—yet the curing is harder and deeper. Your final result is stronger and more resistant to caries.
What’s more, the Calset Composite Warmer can also be used for heating additional materials you might be using during your procedure. Specialty top trays can accommodate porcelain, syringes and anesthetic. An anesthetic that’s been heated up can be more comfortable for your patient to receive, and that’s a warm gesture your patient is sure to appreciate. Getting a little extra bang for your buck doesn’t hurt either.
Perhaps not unsurprisingly, AdDent’s Calset Composite Warmer was designed and developed by AdDent’s own president, Dr. Joshua Friedman, who is also a dentist and engineer.
