Ultradent’s Uveneer Extra template system complements the original Uveneer template system to provide more natural restorations with four new upper anterior designs—Extra Large, Large, Medium, and Square templates—the company says. The templates work with any preferred composite to create reproducible composite veneers designed for predictable shape and symmetry.
“Composites have developed to the point that we’re able to really change patients’ lives by doing more composite work,” said Dr. Sigal Jacobson, creator of the Uveneer template family. “Dentistry is going toward more natural looking surface textures, so Uveneer Extra has more natural templates, which were scanned from real people.”
The unique, autoclavable templates prevent the oxygen inhibition layer from forming during the curing process, resulting in hard, glossy surfaces while also allowing light to pass through to the composite for effective curing, Ultradent says. The company further notes that the base in which the templates arrive is not autoclavable. Also, the templates are designed to be released easily from cured composite resin.
