Centrix | Composite Sculpting is a Breeze with the Centrix LubeCube!

The Centrix founder, Dr. William Dragan once said, “One of the things that bothered me about dentistry was that we were just supposed to accept certain problems.”

One of the problems frequently faced by dentists is composite materials sticking to the instrument and pulling back. This not only complicates the composite shaping process but can also lead to faster degradation of the tool. The good news is that Centrix understand this issue and has developed a tool to overcome it.

If you are not yet familiar with this must-have restorative accessory, let us introduce you to LubeCube! This tiny blue cube makes all the difference. It cleans, conditions, and lubricates your composite sculpting instruments so they glide over the composite surface without any friction. No more composite stickiness, pull-back and pesky voids. Just look at how much smoother the composite surface looks when LubeCube is used.
