3M ESPE Imprint 4 Preliminary

3M ESPE's new Imprint 4 Preliminary is a VPS material ideally suited to take the place of alginates. It is available with two different setting times - "Super Quick" and "Regular" - replacing the existing Position Penta VPS Preliminary Impression Material. Imprint 4 Preliminary VPS is recommended for all typical alginate indications such as provisional crown and bridge impressions, opposing jaw and study model impressions as well as preliminary and orthodontic impressions as well as impressions for bleaching trays and mouthguards. Compared to alginates, the VPS material eliminates many time-consuming work steps and automatic mixing with the Pentamix System ensures a homogeneous, void-free and reproducible mixing quality. Moreover, unlike alginate impressions that cannot be stored and are suited for only one pouring process, impressions taken with Imprint 4 Preliminary VPS material offer long-term dimensional stability and can thus be poured multiple times whenever convenient.
