Dentsply Aquasil Soft Putty Elastomeric Impression Material

Dentsply Aquasil Soft Putty Regular Set is a high-end elastomeric dental impression material for superior accuracy and detail reproduction. With a blend of high viscosity and optimal flexibility, it provides easy handling and distortion-free removal from undercuts.

The regular-set putty is hydrophilic, conforming easily to wet oral surfaces for better impressions. It is particularly suited to numerous dental treatments, such as crown and bridge impressions, that have high dimensional stability and tear strength. If blended with Reprosil Light Body, it produces accurate and detailed impressions that provide exceptional prosthetic results

FAQs:

Q1: What are the three types of dental impression compounds?

Ans: The three primary ones are rigid, elastomeric, and hydrocolloid impression materials.

Q2: What constitutes elastomers?

Ans: Elastomeric materials consist of polymers like polysiloxanes, polyether, and wetting agents.

Q3: Is alginate an elastomeric impression material?

Ans. No, alginate is a hydrocolloid impression material, while elastomeric materials are predominantly silicone or polyether.

Q4: What is an impression compound?

Ans. Impression compounds are thermoplastic materials for taking primary prosthetic impressions.

Q5: What is the use of an impression compound?

Ans. It is primarily used in removable prosthodontics to capture initial impressions of ridges.
