Aqium® 3D 85131

With Aqium® 3D, a high level of hydrophilicity, with simultaneously high tensile strength and ultimate elongation, has been successfully achieved. In particular Aqium® 3D LIGHT, MEDIUM, and MONO provide an increased level of hydrophilicity. Usually these important mechanic specific values will be reduced more the higher the hydrophilic property is adjusted. Lower values cause a tear of the material during the removal out of the patient's mouth and the impression must be repeated. Aqium® 3D offers safety herein and takes, in this combination, a leading position in the dental market. The individual components are optimally co-ordinated with the others regarding the important hydrophilic properties, ultimate tensile strength, elongation of break, thixotropy and fluidity and thus render an incomparably high performance of the overall system.

Viscosities

With its extensive range of material types, the Aqium® 3D impression system meets all requirements of current impression techniques in terms of viscosity, consistency and Shore hardness. The combinations listed as possibilities in the table on the left are recommendations from a specification perspective; further combinations are possible, of course. The high material quality of the Aqium® 3D products supports perfect impression taking in any case.

Scannability

During the development of the Aqium® 3D the requirements of the progressive digital dentistry were taken in account. The impressions, which were taken in the conventional way with Aqium® 3D, are scannable without the addition of a powder or spray. In this way a computer-assisted production of tooth restorations, based on digital data, will be enabled, even if a scan directly in the mouth turns out to be problematic caused through difficult situation in the mouth. It is not a mandatory to have a scanner in the dental practice. The impression is dimensionally stable and can be sent to a milling center or dental laboratory, who will carry out all further digital workflow for the production of the dental prosthesis.
