Griptab is a must for dentists, dental assistants and lab technicians - anyone handling crowns, inlays, onlays and veneers. Think of the value of a handle to a cup. Triodent has applied that same principle to indirect restorations. By adhering Griptab to the restoration, you have a reliable grip and total mastery of the placement process, especially when using Triodent Pin-Tweezers for extra maneuverability, although small hemostats will do.
