Side effects /Interactions

Polyvinylsiloxanes have very good biological compatibility and up to now no harmful reactions or secondary effects on patients and/or dental personnel are known. Impression materials are intended to set in the mouth of the patient, however, they should remain in the mouth not more than twice the setting time. Although they have reasonably high tear strength, care should be taken that no portion of the impression material remains in the interdental spaces or in the sulcus. Undercuts should, in certain instances, be blocked out before taking the impression

Trays

Tray selection depends on impression technique and professional preference of stock trays, double arch bite trays or custom trays. For perfect adhesion, we recommend applying a thin layer of Coltène® Adhesive or any other brand of adhesive specified for use with polyvinylsiloxane impression materials.
