New 3M ESPE Imprint 4 VPS Impression Material: 75 Seconds to Set"
Long working time and fast setting time mean convenience and accuracy for dentists,
comfort for patients
ST. PAUL, Minn. – (October 1,
2013) – Dentists are well aware that for most patients, shorter is better when
it comes to setting time for an impression material. Not only can a faster
setting time increase patient comfort, it also increases efficiency for the
office. Now, 3M ESPE is introducing the fastest setting impression material on
the market—3M™
ESPE™ Imprint™ 4 VPS Impression Material. With a set time of just 75
seconds, Imprint 4 VPS impression material’s intra-oral setting time is up to
53 percent less compared to Aquasil Ultra XLV fast set.
Imprint 4
VPS impression material gives dentists the same long working time they know
from Imprint 3 VPS impression material, but speeds up the set time with an innovative
active self-warming feature, developed exclusively for this product. A unique
chemical reaction causes the material to actively and quickly warm up to body
temperature after the working time, substantially accelerating the intra-oral setting.
The usual working time is not affected, so dentists can easily observe good
impression-taking technique and avoid problems in capturing the impression,
ensuring reliable results.
The
impression material’s super hydrophilicity also contributes to its reliability,
helping it capture precise details. In fact, Imprint 4 wash material shows
better hydrophilicity than any other VPS impression material in its unset
state. The combination of this unique formulation, long working time and short
setting time gives Imprint 4 VPS impression materials outstanding accuracy and
means that dentists rarely need to worry about retakes.
Imprint 4
VPS impression material is available in Heavy & Super Quick Heavy, Light &
Regular, Super Quick Light & Regular and Putty formulations. The material
will be introduced at the 3M ESPE booth, number 3101, at the ADA Annual Session
in New Orleans, October 31- November 3.
