Impression Making Troubleshooting Guide

A great impression starts with controlling tissue and moisture. The extra-fine tip of the 3M™ ESPE™ Retraction Capsule delivers hemostatic paste where it belongs—right into the sulcus—to gently retract tissue and control bleeding.

Restorations with accurate margins drop into place. With 3M™ ESPE™ Intra-oral Syringes, you can apply wash material exactly where it’s needed to capture every marginal detail.

VPS and polyether material choices are designed to enhance your success. Choose Imprint™ 4 VPS Impression Material for everyday procedures or Impregum™ Polyether Impression Materials for your more challenging cases.

Improve your procedure’s efficiency with the fastest and smallest automixer. The Pentamix™ 3 Automatic Mixing Unit reduces material inconsistencies and voids and dispenses quickly. The Pentamix™ Lite Automatic Mixing Unit features an ergonomic hand grip so it can be carried and shared between operatories.

Where alginates require numerous time-consuming, messy work steps, use Imprint™ 4 Preliminary VPS Impression Material with a Pentamix™ Automatic Mixing Unit for a no-dust, no-mess, low-stress impression. You can pour when it’s convenient and get multiple pours from one impression.
