Designed as a temporary crown and bridge solution that offers both natural esthetics and class leading durability Visalys Temp is now available from Kettenbach USA.
The material is easy to apply and can be used with minimal or no polishing, flows into place, and trims easily with little dust generation, according to a product brochure. Visalys Temp can be used for long-term temporary restorations and provides a high degree of stability, reducing fractures and repairs.
With translucency and opalescence similar to that of natural tooth structure, the material blends in with surrounding dentition, according to the brochure. Visalys Temp provides natural looking fluorescence and provides the high quality esthetics necessary for use in anterior temporary restorations with strength for use in posterior situations.

For strong crowns and bridges: Visalys® Temp
The high fracture stability of a temporary crown or bridge is an essential criterion for a provisional restorative material. Different parameters are crucial for the stability and fracture resistance of a temporary restoration.
As measurements in the laboratory alone are not adequate, dentists were asked by a market research institute to use and then evaluate Visalys® Temp during their daily routine in the practice. The result is impressive: temporary crowns and bridges fabricated using Visalys® Temp fracture noticeably less often than temporary restorations made from other materials. Stability is good – but not good enough. Visalys® Temp is particularly easy to use and is ideal for temporary restorations, which are intended to meet the highest aesthetic demands.
The advantages at a glance:
Easy application
- Smooth surface and high luster without polishing: time-saving – polishing can be omitted or greatly reduced.
- Minimal smear layer: the temporary restoration is more pleasant to handle after removal from the impression.
- Can be trimmed precisely: easy finishing of the temporary restoration, minimal dust generation.
- Easy to apply: Visalys® Temp flows ideally and is firm enough to prevent it running uncontrollably.
Exceptional stability
- Considerably fewer repairs: less time-consuming, satisfied patients.
- Also suitable as a long-term temporary restoration (> 4 weeks).
- Temporary restorations fracture less often during removal and re-fitting.
High-quality esthetics
- Translucency and opalescence similar to that of a natural tooth ensure optimal integration in the existing dentition due to the chameleon effect.
- Natural fluorescence.
- Also suitable for particularly high-quality esthetic anterior temporary restorations.
