Kettenbach’s newest material is the VXSE® One monophase impression material, formulated specifically for fixation impressions. VXSE One touts hydrophilicity, good flow, and material hardness post-curing, according to a press release from Kettenbach. To achieve these desirable features, VXSE One is formulated from vinylpolysiloxane and vinylsiloxanether. This formulation enables both a long working time and a short setting time, per the press release from Kettenbach.
Patients can be more comfortable with both the relatively short setting time as well as the taste of the impression material, which is said to be less harsh than standard impression materials. VXSE One is optimized for fixation impressions through its formulation and its enhanced patient comfort, also touting a post-cure material hardness of Shore A 65, per the press release. The material also benefits from an easy removal process, adding to that patient comfort factor.
VXSE One has been tried and tested, with 80% of participants in an in-vivo field test claiming it to be a good or equal alternative to previous polyether materials used for fixation. VXSE One is available in jumbo 5:1 cartridges.
