Waldent Flexident Putty

• Flexident Putty formulation, based on synthetic spheroidal silicas fillers, performs the maximum fluidity combined with perfect final dimensional stability.
• Flexident Putty, due to its excellent initial flowing and final rigidity, guarantees the best results for all impression techniques.
• Flexident Putty is the ideal support when employed in the “two-stage putty/wash technique” and it ensures the perfect cohesion between putty and light materials in the “single-stage double mixing technique”. This leads to the realization of high precision impressions.

Recommendations for use

Double mix technique

While loading the tray, the dentist may begin to apply the washmaterial around the preparation. Tray loading and application of wash-material around the preparation have to be completed at thesame time. Keep the oral tip immersed in the material at all times to avoid trapping air. Immediately place filled tray into the patient’s mouth. Press for 2 –3 s and hold in position until the material is completely set

Two step technique

If a 2-Step «putty or heavy body /wash technique is used, the primary impression, must be carefully cleaned and dried before use. This will help guarantee good adhesion between the wash (low viscosity material) and tray material.

Disinfection :

The impression should be rinsed under (cold) running tap water after removal from the mouth. After rinsing, disinfection with a suitable commercial dental disinfectant solution will not affect the impression surface or dimensions. Acrylic trays should be protected against water absorption.
