- Used to create accurate final dental impressions, particularly capturing subgingival margins without using retraction cord
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
- Fixed implant impressions:
- 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
- Nightguards:
- Creating impressions for the fabrication of dental guards
Features & Benefits:
- Fast set time:
- With a 30-second working time and a 1-minute set time, this material is designed to save chair time and increase patient comfort
- Hydraulic/Hydrophobic (H&H) Technique:
- The material is part of a two-step system that allows for the creation of accurate final impressions of subgingival margins without using retraction cords
- Its hydrophobic properties help displace oral fluids, allowing for clear detail capture without needing to air-dry the area
- High precision:
- The material offers exceptional dimensional stability, which prevents distortion and ensures accurate impressions for restorations like crowns, bridges, veneers, and dentures
- Radiopaque:
- Its radiopaque properties provide enhanced visibility during procedures, which helps with accurate diagnosis and monitoring
- Patient comfort:
- SnoWhite is tasteless and odorless, which helps improve patient acceptance of the impression process
- Convenient delivery:
- The material comes in 50 mL cartridges that are used with an automix dispensing gun for easy and consistent mixing
- Immersion disinfection:
- The material can be immersed in aqueous disinfectants for easy sterilization
