The dental impression material presented is designed to be highly effective in capturing detailed impressions for dental procedures. It is a silicone-based elastomer with a yellow color and low viscosity consistency (Type 3 Low), tailored for precise impression-taking with a balance of flow and stability.
- Working and Setting Time: The material allows for a practical working time of at least 40 seconds, aiding in preparation without haste, while its quick setting time of 4 minutes or less optimizes patient chair time.
- Hardness: With a Shore A hardness of 52, the material is less rigid than some alternatives, which can be beneficial in terms of flexibility and patient comfort when removing the set impression from the mouth.
- Color and Consistency: The yellow color provides good contrast within the oral cavity, and the low consistency (Type 3) ensures the material flows well into hard-to-reach areas without slumping, crucial for upper tooth applications.
- Thixotropy and Hydrophilicity: It features appropriate thixotropy to remain in place on upper teeth without flowing downward, and its high hydrophilicity ensures it can capture fine details, even in moist conditions.
- Elasticity and Tear Resistance: High elasticity combined with resistance to tearing ensures that impressions can be removed safely without the risk of deformation, preserving the accuracy of the captured details.
- Affinity with Plaster: The material's strong bond with plaster supports the creation of precise and detailed dental models, which is essential for successful restorative work.
- Compatibility: As with the previously described product, this impression material is also noted for its excellent compatibility with other manufacturers' products, offering versatility in use.
