Unlike other Self Etching systems available etch patterns
with Simplicity
rival phosphoric acid.
Simplicity is one of the few adhesives available that
can be used with light cured
as well as self cured materials, allowing use with direct as well as indirect
restorations.
Apex was founded in 1998 to address the glaring need in the dental industry for a company that was dedicated to solving the material issues of the practicing clinician. To date, it seems most of our competitors strive to round out product lines instead of solving the real problems faced by doctors each day. At Apex, we have a different philosophy; we listen to the doctor and deliver products that make clinical success the standard.
Our state of the art development laboratory provides the perfect setting for innovation while our modern production facility is designed for the flawless manufacture of your products. The combination of these assets not only guarantees the highest quality product but also guarantees the right product for your daily needs. From testing batches to developing the next category advancement, Apex continues to pursue and deliver solutions.
While the company is only six years old, we have been at this for more than a decade. Over this time we’ve learned the importance of listening to each and every doctor to determine how we can better design the materials you depend on everyday. We take these inputs and apply them not only to new products but also, our business philosophy. For example, our customers repeatedly requested material to be expedited. In response to that feedback, a production / business system was created to ship product the day you place your order. To further support our customers, Apex does not sell through distribution; rather we pass the saving on to you and control the service you receive.
The Apex promise is simple: We will continue to listen to the doctor and deliver products that make clinical success the standard.
"I finally have a single no-sensitivity self-etching bonding agent that gives me very thin film-thickness and that will bond enamel and dentin to any cure-type of composite: all without sacrificing bond-strength!" - Dr. Marshall White
Thank you for letting me try "Simplicity." It is truly "simple" and easy to use. We had no post-op sensitivity and I like that one bonding agent works with any resin. A GREAT product" - Dr. Steve Skurow "It is simple it is easy it works! No rinse , no bad taste, no sensitivity." - Dr. Robert Zampieri"I have used many adhesive bonding agents. None is as easy to use, prevents sensitivity, and bonds as well to all materials." -Dr. Gerald Greitzer
"I just started using the new bonding material- Simplicity- that John Kanca developed, and I must say, it is everything he said it would be. Very simple and straightforward, very quick, very thin layer- no sensitivity at all. I think I am going to really like it. Especially good for multiple units, I think. Good Job, John" -Dr. Rick Coker, Tyler, Texas
"In our office, bonding to combinations of enamel, dentin, porcelain, metal, and acrylic with light-cured and self-cured composite resins has necessitated that we inventory multiple bonding agents. It can be difficult for the doctor and the assistants alike to remember which bonding agents stick to what, when you can use each one, when and how long to leave on the components, whether to rinse or not, and other considerations. The penalty for straying from proper protocol with some of these complex bonding agents is extreme sensitivity, restoration failure, or creeping microleakage. Simplicity is a welcome relief from these constraints. It is easy and fast to apply, requires no mixing of components, and sticks to everything!! I plan on recommending Simplicity to doctors through my newsletter and seminars as the ONE bonding agent they need to inventory!" -Dr. Gary A. Schoenrock, DDS Director, Midwest Dental Evaluation Group Editor, INTERFACE newsletter, inventor of the laminar flow impression technique.
"This system is truly what its name implies--Simplicity. I have enjoyed the no-nonsense application, speed of the process, and not least the end result. I am routinely coating all of my preps with this after cord packing ( be sure to make the temp outside the mouth) and the lack of sensitivity is ttruly remarkable. The i nterface of the composite on posteriors is exquisite. The desensitization of entire quadrants of perio exposed roots has never been so easy. John, you've done it again. Incredible" -Dr. Patrick Roetzer, of Benicia, CA, inventor of the Raptor Bur system and the NTL system.
"I've been using Simplicity for a week and a half for direct composite restorations and have found the most noticable difference from my previous adhesive (S----- B---) to be the marginal integrity. There is a seamless transition from restoration to tooth which is quite impressive. Also the steps required are very logical and I don't miss sloshing phosphoric acid on preps at all. Congratulations!!" Ronald J. Boyd, DDS, Newark, New York
"Having used Simplicity for several months, I have found it to be an exceptional material. There is no easier, goof-proof, high strength bonding agent on the market that I know of. Its self-etching, ZERO post-op sensitivity formulation produces some of the strongest bonds to dentin I've tested. In addition, Simplicity's ultra-thin light-cured adhesive layer will not interfere with the seating of indirect restorations. In short, it's a winner!" - Dr. Richard Erickson, Marietta, GA, Editor, Dental Update Newsletter
"I have completed hundreds of restorations of all types, anterior and posterior. The first thing I noticed was absolutely no post-operative sensitivity without having to go through all the precise and numerous precautionary steps with total etching. The simplicity of the system was greatly appreciated as was the convenience of being able to use it in every adhesive situation, direct or indirect and auto or light polymerized. I highly recommend it." -Dr. Paul E. Klein, Boynton Beach, Florida
"Got it this week and have used it on every direct restoration that I had scheduled. Works like a charm! No sensitivity...easy to use...but you already know that! I'll be sure to let everyone know! Thanks again." - Dr. Michael Maroon, co-founder, Genr8tnext
"I have limited (3 weeks) experience using Simplicity, but I saw a dramatic case this week which I'd like to pass on. A new patient at her initial exam complained of extreme air/temp sensitivity on #3, which started 2 years ago ever since another DDS placed a white filling in her tooth. Slight air on the occlusal evoked an immediate reaction which went away after a few seconds. In the past I did endos on such longstanding problem teeth. Instead I suggested we first try replacing the resin using "different new materials", and if that didn't work we could always do an endo. I removed the previous composite, which looked fine (no pulp exposure seen), meticulously follwed my Sim directions I have printed up: http://www.simplicityadhesive.com/instructionpage.html I placed Kerr Point4 flowable and then Kerr Prodigy. Called Pt 2 days later and all temp sensitivity is gone. It is extremely nice to have materials that work so well at our disposal." - Dr. William Longe Oconomowoc, WI
"Simplicity is a terrific new product that is finally a great answer for self-etch bonding of direct composite and indirect restorations. A great bond, no sensitivity, good margins .... all without separate etch or mixing dual cure components. This material is perfect for indirect inlays, onlays, and crowns. Great for CEREC restorations." - Dr. Jack Griffin,
