1. For how many restorations can the individual modeling tips be used?
    The modeling tips have been designed for single use only. When used for several restorations in the same
    patient, users should be aware of the fact that the anti-adhesive effect may be reduced after repeated use. (top of page)

2. What are the modeling tips made of?
    The modeling tips are constructed out of an elastomeric material. (top of page)

3. Are the modeling tips suitable for use in conjunction with all composite materials?
    Yes, the modeling tips have been optimized for use with regular viscosity composites, but can be utilized with
    any composite material. (top of page)

4. Do the modeling tips modify the properties of composite surfaces with which they have been in contact?
    The properties are not affected. (top of page)

5. Can the modeling tips be sterilized in an autoclave?
    The tips are designed to be disposable and are not autoclavable. They would melt due to the high temperatures
    in the autoclave. (top of page)

6. Can the individual tip shapes be ordered separately?
    Yes, in refills of 100 tips. (top of page)

7. Is OptraSculpt® available in different sizes?
   
OptraSculpt® is available in a single degree of hardness and size, which has been specifically designed to
    work with regular viscosity composites. The individual shapes, however, offer varying degrees of flexibility
    in accordance with their geometry.. (top of page)
