Product Description
Heavy body Addition Silicone Impression Material
The heavy body has a higher viscosity and is generally placed in the impression tray to support the light body material for crown and bridge impressions.
The accuracy of these final restorations is highly dependent on the impression materials and techniques utilized.
AvueGum Heavy offers high elastic recovery and acceptable flexibility
This property is very important while removing the impression from the mouth or after pouring the gypsum stone models.
AvueGum Heavy has optimal setting time.
It is easy to use and offers ample working time and adequate setting time enhancing patient comfort
AvueGum Heavy is great for impressions involving one or multiple units and for using quadrant, double-bite and full arch trays. Sulfur contamination from latex gloves retard the setting of Putty and its viscosity is low compared to heavy body.So it is better to use AvueGum LIGHT BODY [Wash impression material]along with AvueGum HEAVY BODY[Tray material] for single or double-step impression taking.
AvueGum Heavy exhibits high hardness
AvueGum Heavy exhibits easy cutting characteristics for providing pressure relief channels in corrective treatments.
These are necessary in order to obtain an optimal detail reproduction with the secondary impression. Especially for implant impressions.
AvueGum Heavy exhibits good fixation and torsion-preventing characteristics
For combined treatments with implants and prepared teeth double mixing impressions with Avuegum-Light are recommended.
Offers Good resistance.
