3M ESPE has launched its new Paradigm brand, calling them "low-cost products for everyday procedures."
The Paradigm VPS impression material can be used for all indications and flows smoothly without dripping or slumping, the company said. Its hydrophilicity helps it produce void-free impressions with great detail, and its tear strength helps protect impressions from damage and distortion during removal from the mouth. The material comes in a range of viscosities and setting times.
The Paradigm Nano Hybrid can be used for all indications and comes in 12 shades.
