Composite Wetting Resin is a 45 % filled, light‑cured liquid resin formulated to enhance composite handling. It serves as a solvent-free modeling aid—unlike conventional bonding agents—by facilitating adaptation during incremental placement and contouring of composite restoratives without inhibiting polymerization.
Enhanced composite adaptation: Improves composite flow and contouring around margins and anatomical features.
Moistens dry composite: Rehydrates composite during layering or sculpting to restore handling.
No polymerization interference: Solvent‑free formulation avoids inhibition of composite curing—unlike single-component adhesives.
Cost-effective modeling aid: Often used instead of bonding agents to improve handling without compromising strength.
Certified gluten‑free: Suitable for patients with dietary or allergy concerns.
1 × 1.2 mL syringes of Composite Wetting Resin (~1.85 g each)
Instructions for Use leaflet
Ready to use: No mixing required; dispense resin directly from syringe onto restoration using brush or instrument.
Facilitates glide: Place resin on instruments to improve composite adaptation and reduce drag.
Light‑cured on demand: Immediately light‑cure after contouring to lock transitions and restore gloss.
Incremental layering of composite restorations—especially when oxygen‑inhibited layer is removed or surface is contaminated by water.
Rehydrating composite surfaces during sculpting or polishing when material becomes tacky or dry.
Modeling liquid when conventional bonding agents (with solvents) might weaken composite or alter shade.
Prepare and layer composite restorations per standard protocol.
If composite surface becomes dry or layer is contaminated (e.g. rinsed): dispense a small amount of Composite Wetting Resin onto composite using brush or instrument.
Immediately continue contouring or sculpting; resin enhances glide and handling.
Upon completing final adaptation, light‑cure restoration to polymerize resin and composite.
Proceed with finishing and polishing as required—thin resin does not add thickness. Dispose of tip after use.
Ultradent Composite Wetting Resin (Ref. 3059-1, 1 × 1.2 mL syringes) is a clinician-endorsed, solvent‑free modeling aid that enhances composite adaptation, maintains moisture during layering, and preserves polymerization integrity. Its light-cured formulation supports smoother sculpting, better margins, and consistent esthetic outcomes without altering composite properties.
