DENTAL TRIBUNE | September 2011 Industry News 27A Donald L. Tuttle, new president and CEO of D4D Technologies (Photo/ Provided by D4D Technologies) AD For more than a decade, R-dental has offered METAL-BITE®, the universal registration material. The dark grey A-silicone guar- antees excellent universal registrations. According to the German opinion leader Prof. Dr. Gutowski, METAL-BITE is also usable for the biteplate of the face-bow registration system and for dynamic registrations (FGP-technique). METAL-BITE shows perfect physical properties: It is extremely fast and hard, thixotropic and high standable. The snap-set guaran- tees the highest precision. Once cured, METAL-BITE is inflexible and not crumbly, with a sufficiently long working time (25 seconds). A high Shore D-hard- ness (40) and high dimension stability are convincing advantages of this reliable registration material. The universal registration material is available in cartridges of 50 ml in addition to accessories. For more information, please contact the manufacturer.
