Very often we hear from technicians about new, creative ways that they are using Insta-Peg to make their job easier. Whether they are using it to hold veneers while they complete a staining process, or to insulate a metal post to keep it from heating up too rapidly, we are always amazed by the seemingly endless number of uses laboratories have found for this great product. Insta-Peg allows you to customize. When firing porcelain on ceramic or metal pegs things sometimes don’t quite balance properly. If the restoration falls off the peg or tilts too much it can lead to catastrophic results. Insta-Peg allows technicians to make sure their crowns stay where they put them and even to create a custom firing platform. Integrity under fire. Insta-Peg can endure temperatures up to 1300°C (2375°F) without breaking down, so you can expect clean and stable results. Plus, it will not distort or contaminate during firing. This allows you to take care of multiple tasks at high temperatures without worry or compromise. Easy to use and clean-up is a snap. Insta-Peg is packed in a 12 cc syringe so dispensing is simple and the refractory material stays fresh. Most applications require no drying time, so it helps speed up the workflow. Clean up is quick and easy, typically requiring no more than a simple twist or tap. What makes Insta-Peg such a great product is the versatility that it offers. With so many different uses you simply can’t go wrong by bringing Insta-Peg to your lab. Not sure how you can put Insta-Peg to work in your lab? Just request a free sample and try it out.

Offering excellent aesthetics and a wide variety of indications, pressable ceramics are as popular as they have ever been. To help you press with confidence and achieve the most predictable results we’ve got two great products: Vacalon Disposable Plungers and Z4 Investment. Vacalon Disposable Plungers are an excellent choice for any type of pressable ceramic system, including the popular e.max system. When you compare our Disposable Plungers to traditional Alox plungers, the choice is obvious. Traditional Alox plungers can become contaminated and deformed, many times leading to cracked rings and problematic results. With Vacalon Disposable Plungers you get a new plunger that fits perfectly into the ring with every use. Offering a far more predictable and effective choice than other plungers. The investment you use for your pressable ceramics is also another important factor in obtaining predictable results. While many investments claim to work with pressable ceramics, few of them are actually formulated for pressing. Consistent and reliable, Z4 Investment was designed to handle the demands of today’s high performance all-ceramics. With Z4 you get a user-friendly product that offers easy working procedures and accurate results, while delivering the heat and strength characteristics required to achieve the perfect press. Want to try out our disposable plungers or Z4 Investment? Just head over to our sample request page and get your risk-free samples today.

Since we introduced our Picaba Pure Kolinsky Porcelain Brushes they have continued gain popularity among ceramists. Picaba brushes are created using the finest raw materials using innovative construction to satisfy the requirements of even the most demanding ceramist. The durability of the brush was important to us, and we felt it must hold up under all types of circumstances. When someone buys a quality porcelain brush they expect it to last. They don’t want the brush to shed hairs, and they don’t want to lose the crisp, sharp tip. In addition to durability we wanted the brush to feature good moisture retention, flexibility and offer the ceramist good control over the manipulation of their porcelain powders. Our Picaba brushes deliver on all these points and more. Our brushes are made using the only the highest grade Kolinsky sable hairs, offering qualities that cannot be found in any other material. The hairs have an incredible capacity for moisture retention and resist splitting or fraying. The tufts of our brushes are resilient, delivering a long lasting sharp tip with the desirable amount of tension and strength. The construction process of our Picaba brushes is innovative to the dental field, as each brush goes through an average of ten to twelve manual operations to achieve the utmost excellence. During the final step of production each Picaba brush receives an exclusive curing treatment to ensure a long-lasting shape and to increase its spring and recovery. One of the other factors that sets Picaba brushes apart is the process used to make a secure connection between the hairs and handle. To stop the brush from shedding the root of each hair is bonded within the ferrule using a special adhesive. Then a special triple crimp method perfectly interlocks the nickel-plated brass ferrule to the comfortable, lightweight handle. It’s time you tried a Picaba Pure Kolinsky Brush and found out why so many other technicians are happy with their Picaba. Or as we like to say, “Bring on the Porcelain”.
