Strengths
· Nice that it self-cures.
· Polymerization results achievable are excellent!
· I loved the hardness to which it set and thereby its polishability.
· Self-cure flowable material, does not have to wait long for self-cure (less than 4 minutes because of the temperature of the oral cavity).
· Easy to use, capsules a nice twist.
· Relatively easy to use with no sensitivity.
· Self-cure material with nice applications where light can’t reach.
· Self-cure made it very convenient to use.
· Material strength and simplicity.
· Unlimited depth of cure, love the bendable syringe tip.
· Unlimited depth of cure, 10-MDP in primer and composite, fast to use, chameleon, potential for gap free margins, high strength.
· Tips are long and rotating. Bulk fill for post endo is very good. Easy to use.
Weaknesses
· Couldn’t use it for biting surfaces.
· I would prefer using a different bonding protocol.
· It takes too long to cure.
· Not as radiopaque as I would like.
· Self-cure takes more time.
· Hard to polish and sculpt.
· Not really a material for esthetic restorations.
· Not able to shape flowable.
· One color and some porosity.
· Too thick oxygen inhibited layer. Setting time is too long.
· Sticky, would like 2 more shades.
· A bit too little material in the capsule.
· Set time was long and capsule version caused wastage.
BOTTOM LINE
· Product can be recommended.
· I would buy this product.
· I love it and have made additional purchases. Fits my practice very well.
· I especially used it for post and cores or P and C under existing crowns. Worked well.
· I am not sure where this fits in my practice. Maybe for a volume practice where a lot of small restorations are needed.
· A good material that could fill a void in your practice for a self-cure material.
· Comparable to other flowables with self-cure and self-etching added benefit.
· Great for buildups and posterior restorations.
· Like the concept but not for me.
· Great material.
· Can use it in those cases where the light-cured is not possible.
· Good product to have in your practice.
· A good addition to the narrow self-cure product line.
