Give your restorations a tough-as-nails glasslike finish in just 60 seconds - without polishing

Once you’ve completed curing and shaping the restoration, simply brush on a thin coat of DuraFinish. Smooth it with the supplied brush - then zap it with a halogen light.

That’s all it takes to create a dazzling shine ... superior to anything you’ve ever produced using points, wheels, and diamond paste.

At last, a pretty face that stands up to wear

DuraFinish is unlike any glaze you’ve ever used before. For one thing, it’s actually a super-flowable composite, packed with nanofiller to give it wear-resistance.

Conventional applied glazes are unfilled polymers. That’s why they create such a smooth, glossy surface. (Think: floor polish on a linoleum floor.) The initial gloss looks great, but it may be short-lived ... particularly if you apply the glaze to an occlusal surface or if the patient is a determined scrubber.

Furthermore, most applied glazes bond poorly to the substrate. With time they can start peeling - staining - and exposing the rough composite surface below.

DuraFinish chemically unites with the underlying resin


DuraFinish is built on Add&Bond’s composite-repair technology. It doesn’t just “sit” on the restoration surface like floor polish. It penetrates and chemically bonds to the underlying resin. DuraFinish actually unites... becomes “one” ... with the substrate.

Granted, given a long, long time, it may eventually wear off - but it can’t be pulled off. In fact, DuraFinish’s bond to the composite frequently exceeds the cohesive strength of the composite itself.

Perfectly clear, so it won’t affect the shade

Colorless DuraFinish won’t give your restorations a yellowish cast. An A1 before finishing, will still be an A1 after finishing.

Polish any composite, acrylic or bisacryl temporary in seconds

Bisacryl provisional restorations can be a struggle to polish. DuraFinish not only saves you considerable time, but also produces a smoother, more stain-resistant temp ... one that looks just as good when you remove it two weeks later (or a month later, or four months later) as the day you placed it.

And DuraFinish even bonds to old composite, so you can use it to quickly resurface worn restorations.

A survey of the 72 dentists who participated in the pre-introduction clinical trial reported that polishing a restoration with DuraFinish typically takes about 60 seconds. Polishing the same restoration using points, wheels and paste takes about 5 minutes.

Try it yourself ... risk-free.

DuraFinish comes with Parkell's one month risk-free trial. If you decide it’s not what you’re looking for, simply call us during the trial period. We’ll have it picked up at our expense, we’ll give you all your money back (including shipping and taxes, of course), and we’ll politely thank you for trying it.
