Are we receiving what we are paying for with our dental supplies?
Every time I asked my assistant for an A1 shade of my new composite, I would think she was handing me a “used” compule. The A2 compules were not much better. After several months of this happening, it dawned on me. “Could the company be having issues with the manufacturing process of their composite being placed in each compule?” Or, could it be something worse, like intentional under-loading of the most popular shades to increase their profit margins.
