Product Profile

Recently introduced Aquasil Ultra+ Smart Wetting Impression Material is an upgrade in the Aquasil line of polyvinyl siloxane impression materials, and has been specially designed to help clinicians in three key areas.

1. Impression materials used intraorally need to work in the presence of moisture not only when cured but, more importantly, when they're uncured.
To provide hydrophilicity where it's needed most—in the mouth—Aquasil Ultra+ material was designed with a market-leading low-contact angle, as tested on uncured samples at intraoral relative humidity. For the clinician, this translates to improved accuracy of impressions, potentially leading to better-fitting restorations that require less chairside adjustments.

2. Impression materials must be strong at the time of mouth removal to prevent the tearing of thin sections in the impression.
Impression material syringed into a sulcus is already in thin cross sections. When adequate gingival retraction is not created around equi- and subgingival preparations (in some cases where retraction paste is used instead of retraction cord), impression material that is expressed into thin sulci is more prevalent. To prevent tearing of thin extensions of material and the loss of precious detail, Aquasil Ultra+ material was designed to feature market-leading tear strength at both mouth removal and after 24 hours of setting. This benefit should provide confidence to the clinician that the material placed into the mouth will be completely retrieved, and allow laboratory technicians the opportunity to create extremely accurate working models.

3. No single impression material will satisfy the infinite number of clinical situations.
For single-unit cases a fast set material may be ideal, but for larger prosthetic cases or removable denture impressions, options for setting times and viscosities may be needed. Aquasil Ultra+ material offers five different viscosities (extra-light, light, medium, heavy and rigid), two setting times (fast and regular), and several delivery options (Digit Targeted Delivery System, 50-milliliter cartridges and DECA cartridges). With all the variations of Aquasil Ultra+, clinicians can match the most appropriate viscosity, timing and delivery for each specific clinical situation.

Getting the final impression done correctly is vital to a successful outcome, and one of the keys to accomplishing it is picking the right impression material. Aquasil Ultra+ Smart Wetting Impression Material was designed with key clinical benefits to give clinicians the best chance for recording an outstanding impression.
