- Used for a variety of impressions, including those for crowns, bridges, veneers, inlays, onlays, dentures, bite registrations, and nightguards
Uses:
- Crowns and bridges:
- Taking accurate impressions is a critical first step in fabricating crowns and bridges
- Blue Velvet's hydrophobic properties displace fluids to capture a precise, bubble-free impression of the prepared tooth, including the subgingival margins
- Veneers, inlays, and onlays:
- For these custom-fit restorations, a highly accurate impression is needed to ensure a perfect fit with the prepared tooth
- Bite registrations:
- Its fast set time and thixotropic consistency make Blue Velvet an ideal material for creating quick and precise bite registrations, which are used to determine the correct occlusal relationship for restorations
- Dentures (full and partial):
- The material is used to create precise impressions of the patient's dental arches for the fabrication of dentures, helping to ensure good stability and retention
- Implants:
- It is suitable for taking impressions for fixed implant restorations, providing the detail required for an accurate prosthesis
- Relining dentures:
- It can be used for relining dentures to improve their fit and comfort
Features & Benefits:
- Impression material:
- This is a vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) impression material used to take precise final dental impressions
- Rapid setting time:
- Features a 30-second work time and a 1-minute setting time for quick and efficient procedures
- Flexible consistency:
- Has a whipped-cream consistency that is thixotropic, meaning it maintains its shape but flows easily under pressure, capturing fine detail without running or dripping
- High precision:
- Provides exceptional dimensional stability to create accurate and distortion-free impressions
- Cordless impressions:
- Specifically designed for the Hydraulic/Hydrophobic (H&H) Impression Technique, allowing dentists to capture accurate final impressions of subgingival margins without using retraction cord
- Fluid displacement:
- Its hydrophobic properties actively displace oral fluids, eliminating the need to air-dry the area before taking the impression
- Resistant to fluid absorption:
- The material does not absorb moisture, further enhancing impression accuracy
- Radiopaque:
- This property makes the impression material visible on X-rays, which can aid in post-procedural diagnosis
- Enhanced comfort:
- The formula is tasteless and odorless, which helps reduce patient anxiety and the gag reflex during the procedure
- Safe and hygienic:
- The material is immersible in aqueous disinfectants for easy sterilization
