Concept was introduced in 1987 and revolutionized indirect restorations. Now it is back…introducing new and improved Concept HP. Concept HP (Heat and Pressure) is an indirect resin restorative material indicated for esthetic, adhesively-placed inlays and onlays. Concept HP maintains the high performance levels of the original material with excellent esthetics, ease of use, proven longevity, high wear resistance, easy placement protocols and long-term luster. Improvements have been made in its shade range, radiopacity, layering fabrication protocols, and ease of handling, all of which culminate in improved bond strengths and more natural esthetics.
Concept HP features a new foundation material that increases bond strengths and provides greater visibility on a radiograph. These restorations are polymerized in the laboratory using the new HiPT (High Pressure and Temperature) curing unit. This ensures excellent marginal integrity and minimizes clinical shrinkage stress to the restored tooth. Concept HP’s expanded range of five enamel shades, optimizes the materials esthetic options. The system also includes a full range of modifiers for custom characterization within each layer of the build-up process.
Concept HP’s proven reinforced microfill composition makes it ideal for posterior applications demanding high wear resistance as well as wear compatibility with opposing dentition. This microfill chemistry makes surface polishing easier, ensuring long-term esthetic success for the patient and the clinician. Chairside repairs or adjustments are also easy to accomplish.
