Less mess, less stress and more control at every step - because a great fitting restoration should never be a surprise.
You can use the indicated working time reliably to full capacity – inaccuracies associated with premature setting are avoided. And once the working time is over, setting starts immediately.
The excellent flow properties of our impression materials let you capture the finest details, producing impressions with incredible accuracy.
Our hydrophilic materials displace blood and saliva right from the first contact with tissue, leading to excellent, void-free detail reproduction.
