Radica Provisional & Diagnostic System
Radica® is a visible light cured, lab-processed provisional material that combines high flexural strength and durability with best-in-class esthetics. Provisional restorations are a key step in the crown and bridge process. Radica provides dental professionals with options not easily found in other systems, and fits into a variety of roles from diagnostic applications to use as a long-term provisional appliance. Additionally, Radica is easy to use for all reline, repair and placement procedures.
For your patients, Radica’s biocompatible, monomer-free formulation and laboratory cure process promotes lower levels of sensitivity. Clinical benefits are derived from its superior strength, durability and wear resistance allowing you to tackle cases needing longer healing times, such as full mouth reconstruction, implant and perio cases with ease. Radica also allows for the creation of lifelike diagnostic restorations that will help set and manage patient expectations. In addition, Radica restorations serve in treatment guidance and planning.

Smile Design and Advanced Provisional Fabrication - Mike Malone, DDS, General Dentistry 2008
A reliable and esthetic provisional material should be used to achieve the most ideal patient results. For optimal esthetics, the resin should be placed in layers using different colors and translucencies. The advantage of Radica is it is even more durable and wear-resistant than Triad, making it ideal for more advanced cases, especially long-span bridges and complex implant cases.
