Protemp™ 3 Garant™ Temporization Material


Even when you give your best advice to patients, temporary restorations are often subjected to stress and abuse. That’s why 3M ESPE introduced a third-generation strong and durable product from its respected Protemp™ brand: Protemp™ 3 Garant™ Temporization Material for temporary crowns, bridges, crown lining, inlays/onlays and veneers.

product information

Designed for fabricating custom-made, short-term temporary restorations chairside, Protemp 3 Garant temporization material is a bis-acrylic material that offers higher strength than its predecessors, while maintaining the important Protemp family attributes: precision fit, outstanding esthetics, biocompatibility, and easy handling and application.

Excellent long-term fracture strength and durability results in fewer broken temporary restorations and fewer unscheduled office visits, saving you time and money.

Precision fit protects exposed dentin and reduces tissue irritation, and its optimal marginal integrity and contacts eliminate the need for adjustment.

Outstanding esthetics with color stability, and modified resin system with new filler technology that provides a smoother polishing surface for easier polishing and protection against staining.

Smooth surface. Temporary restorations made from Protemp™ 3 Garant™ temporization material have a smoother surface even before polishing, which results in easier polishing, excellent esthetics and protection against staining.

Choice of five shades, including a new bleach shade, makes it easy to achieve excellent color match. Shades include: A1, A2, A3, B0.5 and B3.

Biocompatible, with a low release of monofunctional monomers, to reduce the potential for allergic reaction or irritation, while its low exothermicity reduces potential pulp damage.

Easier dispensing of the exact amount every time with minimal waste using the Garant™ 2 Dispenser 4:1/10:1.

Easy handling: easy removal of temporary during flexible stage, customer-accepted working and setting times, easy repair of temporary using new Protemp™ 3 AddOn Material or other resin-based composites.
