Pulpdent has introduced Wink, a greaseless, water-soluble lubricant and release agent for all dental applications.
Wink replaces petroleum jelly and other greasy, lumpy, and hard-to-remove materials; goes on smoothly and evenly; is easily thinned with compressed air; and washes off quickly with water, the company said in a press release.
Wink is designed to provide easy release of impressions and prevent the distortion caused by torque and stresses during removal from the mouth, even with polyether impression materials. For provisional restorations, Wink can be placed on build ups, teeth, and preps to facilitate removal from the mouth after curing. It can also be placed on the outside surface of restorations for effortless removal of excess set cement.
Wink can also be used on rubber dams to facilitate placement without tearing, on face and tissue to ease removal of excess set cement and impression material, and on tight-fitting implant abutments for easier removal during the try-in phase.
