"EXA’lence provided better flow, better handling and better crown margins. The margin integrity was distinctly superior in a side-by-side comparison to Aquasil with B4."

Dr. Lawrence Kolar

“I have been very impressed with the handling of the EXA'lence material. The detail in the occlusal surfaces and in the cervicular area appears clinically to be excellent. Our laboratory restorations have been outstanding and without defect. I would say this material has the potential to change the market by advancing the science of dental impression materials."

Dr. Richard Brown
