Consultants’ Comments

• “Great product. The detail and accuracy is excellent.”

• “I love the working time, it sets so fast. It makes it so much better for the patient.”
• “Good tear resistance.”
• “I liked the contrast color.”
• “Nice feel, nice taste, smells good. Patients never complained about the taste and kids loved it.”
• “We would switch to this product because it has great detail and is very user friendly.”
• “There were air bubbles in the material.”
• “It set up too fast at times, even when mixing and working quickly.”
• “Different packaging would be preferable – a container that the bag goes in, a sturdy tub/canister, unit doses for ease of use, or a resealable bag to effectively close the bag once opened.”

Clinical Tips

• Follow the instructions and have the patient rinse first – it makes it easier to remove the impression.
• Use very cold water and spatulate well. Make sure the amount of water matches the measure to ensure the correct consistency.
• Apply air lightly around the teeth- leave slightly moist to help prevent bubbles at the margin.
• The stiffness of the material helps with impressions for dentures.
