3M Cavit Temporary Filling Material
A self-cured temporary sealing compound used by dentists to provide a quick, reliable temporary restoration of a cavity between treatment appointments.
3M Cavit Temporary Filling Material is a self-cured sealing compound used by dentists to close and protect a cavity on a temporary basis between appointments, such as after removing decay, placing a medicament, or completing part of a root canal treatment where the tooth needs to be sealed before the next visit.
Because the material self-cures without needing a separate light curing step, it can be placed and set quickly at the chairside, which suits situations where the clinician needs a fast, dependable temporary seal without adding extra appointment time. A reliable temporary filling protects the tooth from contamination, sensitivity and further damage while the patient waits for a permanent restoration or a subsequent stage of treatment.
This material is a routine stock item in general dental practices, endodontic practices and any clinic performing multi-visit procedures where a cavity needs to be sealed temporarily between sessions.
