Impression resins and silicones

19 July 2019

Addition silicones are the most precise materials used for the duplication of models in the dental laboratory. They are used for casting in the same way as gels (reversible hydrocolloids), but differ in that their hardening is non-reversible, therefore they cannot therefore be re-used. Due to their precision, they are used mainly for applications requiring a […]

Duplication silicones or hydrocolloids? The challenge for precision

18 September 2018

Duplication of the gypsum model is a useful process, sometimes even irreplaceable, in certain dental processes, for instance when there is a risk of damage (even at anatomic detail level) or if it is useful or necessary to make changes during the modelling of the manufactured product. This way, you very simply avoid having to […]
