The new Structur 3 temporary crown and bridge material from VOCO is designed for quickly creating great looking provisional restorations. The material’s nanotechnology provides strength for long term temporization as well as esthetics from natural fluorescence and color stability.
The real stand out feature is the way the material creates a smooth surface with a minimal oxygen inhibition layer, eliminating the need to polish the temporary restorations. VOCO calls this the Wipe & Go effect because clinicians only need to wipe the temporary restorations with alcohol rather than polishing them. The faster process of working with Structur 3 also carries over to the intraoral setting time of just 45 seconds.

Structur 3 Nano-filled, quick setting, strong temporary Crown & Bridge material with Wipe & Go Technology
VOCO is introducing Structur 3 a new temporary crown and bridge material for the quick fabrication of strong and aesthetic provisional crowns and bridges (short term and long term), inlays and onlays, veneers and temporary posts.
With Structur 3 VOCO is using its advanced nano technology to create strength and aesthetics. One of its biggest advantages is the Wipe & Go effect. Structur 3 has a very smooth surface with a minimal oxygen inhibition layer and no longer needs to be polished. All it takes for the clinician to achieve a brilliant gloss is to wipe off the temporaries with alcohol and they are done, saving plenty of polishing time. Structur 3 has a natural looking fluorescence and outstanding color stability.
Structur 3 is very economical. It has a quick intraoral setting time of only 45 seconds; which is half the time of most other materials. The 1:1 mixing ratio allows for smaller tips and makes “bleeding” of material before changing mixing tips obsolete, resulting in up to 20 more units out of each cartridge compared to 10:1 and 4:1 products.
The nano technology used in Structur 3 leads to a high fracture resistance and compressive strength of over 500 MPa making the material ideal long term temporization cases.
Structur 3 is available in 50ml 1:1 cartridges, fitting every impression material dispenser or in small 5ml automix QuickMix syringes in eight VITA® matching shades (A1, A2, A3, A3.5, B1, B3, C2, Bleach).
