Consultant's Comments:
- The single-use dispenser is excellent and easy to activate.
- Just one coat is needed and the material stays in the light-proof container.
- Nice viscosity - coats the tooth well.
- Difficult to maintain the bend on the brush if you have to dip it in the container multiple times.
- The working end of the applicator brush is too thin and flexible.
Description:
TECO is a 5th-generation light-cured bonding agent for use with light-cured composite in direct and indirect restorations. Etching the enamel and dentin surfaces is required (total-etch technique) before applying TECO. The etched and rinsed tooth surface should have a moist, frosty appearance and should not be desiccated. The adhesive is brushed onto the tooth surface for 20 seconds and air dried lightly for five seconds. The adhesive is then light cured for 10 seconds with a light that has an intensity of at least 400 mW/cm2. The adhesive is supplied in the patented SilvR single-dose dispenser. The kit evaluated contained 60, 0.12-ml single doses of the TECO adhesive, a 2-ml syringe of etching gel and a reference card. Twenty-nine consultants evaluated TECO in more than 760 clinical applications. This product received a 94% clinical rating.Product Features
