- A Vinyl Polysiloxane (VPS) based material used by dental professionals to capture precise relationships between the upper and lower teeth
Uses
- Occlusal Registration:
- Capturing the spatial relationship between the upper and lower jaws for accurate bite record
- Restorative Fabrication:
- Essential for creating crowns, bridges, and dentures that align perfectly with opposing teeth
- Copying Transfers:
- Used to record and transfer specific clinical data between office and laboratory settings
- Primary Impressions:
- Compatible with bite trays for initial dental impressions
- Sleep Apnea Appliances:
- Records critical occlusal information needed to fabricate mandibular advancement devices
Features
- Regular Set Time:
- Designed for a balanced workflow, providing enough time to place the material while setting quickly enough to minimize patient discomfort
- Thixotropic Properties:
- Features a "mousse-like" consistency that flows easily into crevices under pressure but remains stable without running or sagging once placed
- High Rigidity:
- Cures to a hard finish (often around an 80-durometer rating), allowing for precise trimming without distortion
- Dimensional Stability:
- Retains its shape and size from the initial impression through to laboratory fabrication
- Mint Flavor:
- Formulated to enhance patient comfort during the procedure
Benefits
- Accuracy:
- Captures fine occlusal details, reducing the risk of "high spots" or uneven pressure in final restorations
- Efficiency:
- Eliminates the need for rework by providing reliable, reproducible results the first time
- Cost-Effectiveness:
- Positioned as a high-performance, budget-friendly alternative to more expensive brand-name registration materials
- Ease of Handling:
- Packaged in 50mL cartridges for consistent mixing and easy extrusion using a standard dispensing gun
