FAQs

What material is used for dental impressions?

A variety of materials are used for dental impressions, including silicone-based materials for their flexibility and accuracy, alginate materials for preliminary impressions and specialised VPS formulations like Take 1™ Advanced™, which offers unique features for enhanced performance.

What is the most stable dental impression material?

VPS impression materials are renowned for their exceptional dimensional stability, making them among the most stable options available for dental impressions. This stability ensures that impressions remain accurate over time, free from distortion due to dimensional changes or temporary deformation.

What is the most widely used dental impression material?

Alginate materials are among the most widely used for dental impressions, valued for their ease of use and suitability for a variety of applications, including preliminary impressions. However, silicone-based dental impression materials, including VPS like Take 1™ Advanced™, are also popular choices for their enhanced precision and performance. They have excellent dimensional stability that resists distortion, leading to better treatment outcomes.

What is the difference between a light and a heavy body cartridge?

The primary difference between light and heavy body cartridges lies in their viscosity and intended use during the impression process. Light body cartridges, such as the Monet 2 Light Body Cartridges, have a lower viscosity. This makes them ideal dental impression materials that flow into narrow spaces and capture fine details. They're often used for the wash or final impression in two-step impression techniques.

On the other hand, heavy body cartridges, exemplified by Monet 2 Automix Medium/Heavy Body Cartridges, have a higher viscosity and are used to create the tray portion of the impression. Their thicker consistency strongly supports the lighter, more detailed wash material.
