permite

SDI's permite is a high silver admix amalgam offering high strength, high polishability and superior handling. The non-gamma 2 admix alloy is unsurpassed by any other and over 400 million successful Permite restorations have been placed since its release worldwide in 1975. In the Dental Advisor Plus, Permite received a 98% rating for consistency of mix, ease of loading, placement in preparations, condensability, burnishability, quality of interproximal contact, carvability and setting characteristics. The resulting restorations are smooth and have excellent margin adaptation, especially after burnishing. All consultants said they would recommend Permite to their colleagues. Permite's high compressive strength minimizes the risk of fracturing the restoration. High compressive strength ensures a tough and durable long lasting restoration. The microleakage for Permite is essentially zero. Extensive microleakage has been related to increased post operative sensitivity. Permite exhibits the best sealing qualities with no danger of excessive delayed expansion if accidentally contaminated with water-based fluids. Hence, it would seem prudent to select an alloy such as Permite for retrograde fillings.
