Four unique temporary filling materials, one delivery system.

In February of 1984, Dr. Dragan addressed the challenges dental professionals were facing with temporary restoration materials by releasing Tempit® to the market. The frustration of messy applications, caused by mixing and spatulation, was replaced with the ease of a pre-filled tip that snapped directly into Centrix C/R guns for easy, precise applications.

Sometimes complicated problems have a simple solution. In 1989, Dr. Dragan addressed a challenge he faced – how to accurately apply a variety of dental materials into hard-to-access application sites – with the invention of disposable bendable brushes. His colleagues laughed at the idea, but he didn’t let this slow him down on his pursuit of Making Dentistry Easier.

Everyone has an idea or a dream; not everyone has the courage to pursue it. Dr. Dragan set himself apart by paying attention to the problems that fellow dentists were facing and then designing the solution. In 1968, while noting the challenges of mixing and placing two-part materials that were becoming more viscous, therefore, harder to spatulate and apply, he began his venture to develop a simple push syringe.
