Polyvinyl Silioxane Impression Material
Polyvinyl Silioxane Impression Material
Also known as addition polysilicone. Trade name:Reprosil. COMPOSITION:2-paste systemBase pasteReactor paste-Polysilicone prepolymer with terminal silane gp. -Colloidal silica -polysilicone prepolymer with terminal vinyl gp. - powdered silica-filler - chloroplatinic acid-catalyst - liquid of base polymer-retarder - colour pigment.
IMPORTANT PROPERTIES:
Biocompatible. highest elastic recovery-99.93% good tear strength-3500g/cm dimensionally stable MERITSDEMERITSpleasant to handle. -expensive with automatic excellent elasticity mixer. shorter s.t. -shorter w.t. dimensionaly stable -H2 gas released all viscosities avalible -high surface tension. can be electroplated -hydrophobic-so hydrophilic . USES: Imp. Of crowns n brigdes. Cavity Imp of inlays n onlays. Imp of partailly n completely edentulous mouths.
Vein like structure inside the tube aiding in automatic mixing of components.
With the use of the 1 wide spreader tip attached to the mixing tip covers a single print perfectly, with a minimal amount of material. Spreader Tip virtually eliminates operator error.
ADVANTAGES:
No mixing required. Accurate dispensing. Ideal for rough surfaces. Flexible & accurate. Setting time - 4 minutes. Long lasting. Non-toxic. In simple words-FAST. EASY. ACCURATE.
IMPRINT-II
Imprint-II is a three-viscosity, polyvinyl silioxane impression material which, according to its manufacturer, features a short setting time and excellent drip resistance for patient comfort. 3 VISCOSITIES-for syringe use-low viscosity-yellow. -for syringe use-regular viscosity-green -for tray use-high viscosity-purple (3M also claims that the product uses a new automix gun dispenser that is 40% more powerful so providers will have to exert less effort to dispense the high viscosity form of the material. )
Meets requirements for stability and detail reproduction(accurate-no need for remake n readjustments-better fitting prosthesis).
advantages Sets quickly. Hydrophilic. Excellent recovery from deformation. Stable in disinfectant solutions.
The Bad:
Viscosity higher than comparable materials. Working time may not be sufficient for complex procedures. Slightly more expensive than comparable materials.
SILGINAT
Silginat alginate alternative is a medium-bodied viscosity, polyvinyl silioxane impression material . Alginate properties: PVS properties: Low tear resistance -high dimensional stabilityso no disloging restorations so impression can be kept and orthodontic appliances. for weeks n poured multiple times. Silginat is also highly thixotropic and flows properly under pressure. Complete Set Time 3 Minutes - Foil Bags 2 Minutes 30 Seconds - Cartridge
