Zhermack Zetaplus Refills Elastomeric Impression Material - 1x900ml

Zhermack Zetaplus is a very high viscosity C-silicone Putty condensation silicone elastomeric impression material, supplied in a 1x900ml container. It is designed for final impressions in the fabrication of extraoral prostheses. This material is also indicated for use in both two-stage and single-stage impression techniques.

Known for its consistent performance, Zetaplus ensures precise results with high initial flowability during the working phase and excellent rigidity once set. Its advanced formulation, featuring high-activity spheroid filler (SAS), improves flowability, tear resistance, and dimensional stability. The material is hydro-compatible, making it suitable for use in moist environments.

The working and setting times of Zetaplus can be adjusted according to the quantity of Indurent Gel catalyst, allowing flexibility in the impression process. It has a clinical working time of 1 minute 15 seconds and a setting time of 4 minutes 45 seconds. Zetaplus is recommended as a putty for the two-stage technique and can also be used in single-stage techniques with two viscosities.

1. Preparation:

Clean and Dry Impression Tray: Ensure that the impression tray is thoroughly clean and dry before use.

Dispense Putty Base: Dispense the required amount of Zetaplus Putty Base onto a clean, dry mixing surface, following the manufacturer's recommendations for the appropriate amount.

2. Mixing:

Add Catalyst: Add the recommended quantity of Indurent Gel Catalyst to the putty base. The ratio of putty base to catalyst should follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Mix Thoroughly: Mix the putty and catalyst together until a homogeneous color is achieved, ensuring no streaks remain in the mixture. It is important to mix thoroughly for an even consistency.

3. Application:

Load the Impression Tray: Once mixed, evenly load the putty onto the impression tray.

Insert Tray: Immediately insert the loaded impression tray into the patient's mouth, ensuring proper seating for accurate coverage and fit. Make sure the tray is positioned correctly to capture all the necessary details.

4. Setting Time:

Allow Setting: Let the material set in the patient’s mouth. The working and setting times can be adjusted by varying the amount of catalyst used. Refer to the product guidelines for optimal settings for your needs.

5. Removal:

Remove the Tray: Once the material has set, gently and carefully remove the tray from the patient’s mouth. Avoid applying excessive force to prevent distortion of the impression.

6. Post-Procedure:

Rinse and Disinfect: After removing the impression, rinse it thoroughly to remove any residual material. Disinfect the impression following clinic protocols before sending it to the laboratory for further processing.
