WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES COMPOSITE WARMING MAKE TO THE CLINICIAN’S HANDS?
Ask almost anyone who injects heated composite directly (versus using a twisty syringe, putting it in a pad, and then hand loading it into the prep) into the tooth with a syringe and compule, and they will tell you they LOVE it. It’s a game changer!
When clinicians use Bioclear matrices that allow for infinity edge margins, heating composite
gets even more important. How much better?
The extrusion force required for composites is reduced by 75 to 80% when warmed in a HeatSync composite warmer, which is pre-set at 155 ˚F (68 ˚C). And yes, we even heat the flowable composite which becomes markedly more friendly to inject.
