The 3M ESPE Protemp 4 Garant A2 is a high-performance, automix bis-acrylic composite material that sets the industry benchmark for strong, aesthetic temporary crowns and bridges.
This "Export Package" provides the same superior quality as the domestic version (often known as Protemp Plus in the US) but is intended for international markets, potentially offering a cost advantage. The package includes one 67g (equivalent to 50mL) cartridge in shade A2 and 16 blue Garant mixing tips.
Note on "Export Package": Products labeled as "Export Package" are genuine 3M items intended by the manufacturer for sale outside of the USA. They are reimported and may feature non-English language markings, different packaging, or varying quantities compared to the domestic version. The product performance and quality remain consistent with 3M ESPE standards.
