title: PTFE tape: a versatile material in restorative dentistry.
abstract: PTFE is widely used in industry and commercial products, but is not widely used in dentistry. This paper describes some clinical applications of thin non-rigid unsintered PTFE tape which is inert, sterilizable by heat, non-stick, an effective barrier to moisture and chemicals, and is opaque.
