Today John tested one year Surpass on dentin. Although the average was over 60MPa John actually had one specimen hit 72.1MPa!! I actually saw this number generate on the machine.
Also, 10 month Surpass on enamel, not done by John, just under 43 MPa.
Amazing stuff!! In-vivo its been perfect for about 2 years now. JK hits another home run!!! _________________ Gerry |

I am finding that the best way to apply Surpass 3 is to brush on a thin layer and if not happy with the thickness, to brush it thin. The results are simply astounding. _________________ "You need me on that wall."

I have always tried for a thin Sur 3 layer. If not to my liking, I air thin it a wee bit, that is ok, right? |

Sure, that's OK. I am just sharing my clinical experience.
Before Flem pops in here, yes it is OK to thin it out with air for Cerec's.

You can also try wiping the excess off of the brush off on a napkin and brushing it thin.

OK, guys, something for you to try:
Please try a few direct composites without taking them to final polish (so you decide which those would be). Just short of final polish, re-apply Surpass, light-activate for at least ten seconds like you were sealing it. Then take a cotton pellet and wipe off the 02 layer and tell me what you see.

On class 1 and 2's, since this would only be on enamel and composite, can we skip the Surpass 2 step ?? (if we promise not to tell anyone ) _________________ Take Care...Howard

Nope. The primer does play an important part. _________________ "You need me on that wall."

Okay-
Just tried it. It looked very nice. And I liked skipping the polishing steps.
Couple of questions;
This will last over the long haul?
No need to place Protect-It or anything like that?
This only work with Surpass or does it work okay with Simplicity also?
Thanks....
I like it!!!  _________________ Take Care...Howard

It'll work better with Surpass because of the resin viscosity. I think it's going to do well, since it will only self-polish over time. _________________ "You need me on that wall."
