Venus Temp 2 by Heraeus Kulzer

Dr. Ray Becker

A very easy to work temporary material which provided very accurate temporaries even over longer span multiple units. Also has a pleasant vanilla smell when adjusting.

EVALUATION TEAM FEEDBACK

The CPS evaluation team consisting of 20 offices and fabricated over 92 provisional restorations gave Venus Temp 2 a score of 5 Diamonds. Almost all of the evaluation team members used the Venus Temp 2 for mostly crown restorations and felt this was the best material they have used in a long time. All felt the material was very strong and had the strength compared to their methyl methacrylates. 2 evaluators commented they used the provisional material for full arch provisionals that were worn for over 7-8 weeks without any fractures. Some evaluators commented because it is a harder material it did take longer to trim. Only 3 out of the 20 commented the Venus Temp 2 took longer to set than other provisional materials. 3 evaluators commented the Venus Temp 2 captured great marginal detail & fit.ttttt
