• “Impressions are beautiful.”
• “Assistant had difficulty extruding the heavy-body material.”
• “Include intraoral placement tips and more mixing tips.”

Description

IS-2000 is a system of impression materials available in 11 different viscosities and setting times. The light-body regular set and heavy-body regular set are supplied in two, 50 ml cartridges with six mixing tips. IS-2000 was evaluated by 24 consultants in making 230 crown and bridge impressions. It received a 92% rating.

Product Features

IS-2000 provided accurate impressions, which were easy to read. The light-body material was easy to extrude and flowed and stacked well. When using a dual-arch tray, patients could easily close into the material, yet it was stiff upon removal. IS-2000 heavy-body and light-body viscosities blended well in the set impression. Seventy-nine percent of consultants would recommend IS-2000 and 48% would switch to it.

Clinical Tips

• Use the larger 6.4-mm tip for easier extrusion of heavy-bodied material.
