Q: |
What is PPF filler? |
|
A: |
Our PPF (prepolymerized filler) is a proprietary blend
of low-shrinkage resin, barium glass and 0.02 micron filler. This
combination results in decreased shrinkage and optimal handling for a
truly unique material that stands alone as an industry leader.

Q: |
What is trimodal technology? |
|
A: |
Trimodal technology is comprised of Kerr proprietary
PPF filler (see FAQ #1), Point 4 filler, and 0.02 micron filler. The
combination of these three (TRImodal) fillers is unique to the
industry. No other material on the market has this combination of truly
unique fillers to create a superior product like Premise.

Q: |
What are the benefits of trimodal technology? |
|
A: |
The combination of these three fillers creates a platform that consists
of an ultra-low shrinkage material at 1.6%. Due to the Point 4 filler,
you'll experience the clinically proven polish and durability that made
Point 4 famous. And with PPF, you will feel confident knowing you're
using a material for posterior restorations that is highly filled at
84%.
