GENERAL INFORMATION

Bisco's TWINZ VPS Impression Materials are composed of hydrophilic vinyl polysiloxanes, also known as addition silicones, and intended for making dental impressions. Exhibiting excellent elastic recovery and tear strength as well as dimensional stability and accuracy, TWINZ VPS is ideal for precise crown and bridge and denture making techniques. TWINZ VPS is also formulated for use as a bite registration material.

The most common methods for making impressions are:
1. The simultaneous, dual viscosity technique
2. The single viscosity or monophase technique

TWINZ VPS offers a full range of Viscosities and Set Times

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

A. Simultaneous, Dual Viscosity Technique
This technique allows for low viscosity impression materials to be syringed onto critical areas and for high viscosity impression materials to be placed in an impression tray. Since both are placed approximately at the same time, they bond and set at the same time.

NOTE: Latex gloves have been shown to adversely effect the setting of vinyl polysiloxane (TWINZ VPS) impressions. It is recommended that vinyl or nitrile gloves be used when working with these materials. To avoid this adverse effect, it is important to handle the prepared tooth, the adjacent soft tissues and the retraction cord with vinyl gloves.

1. Apply Tray Adhesive: Apply a thin layer of TWINZ VPS Tray Adhesive to the impression tray (this includes perforated trays). Allow a minimum of 10 minutes to dry.

2. Select Low Viscosity (LV) Material: Per your preference, choose low viscosity material (TWINZ VPS Lite Body, TWINZ VPS Xtra-Lite Body, TWINZ VPS Fast-Track Lite Body or TWINZ VPS Fast-Track Xtra-Lite Body).

3. Select Tray Material: Per your preference, choose high viscosity tray material (TWINZ VPS Putty, TWINZ VPS Heavy Body or TWINZ VPS Fast-Track Heavy Body).

4. Prepare Tray Material:
If using TWINZ VPS Heavy Body, purge the Heavy Body cartridge and attach a Mixing Tip. Load this cartridge onto the Dispenser.
If using TWINZ VPS Putty, scoop equal volumes of Putty base and catalyst. Do not use the same scoop for the base and catalyst as this will contaminate and prematurely set the remaining material in the jars.

5. Load Impression Tray:
If using TWINZ VPS Heavy Body, express Heavy Body material from cartridge into impression tray.
If using TWINZ VPS Putty, 30 seconds before completion of LV Material placement, knead the Putty base and catalyst together until the mix exhibits a homogenous color. Mix for approximately 30 seconds. Place Putty into tray.

6. Prepare LV Material Cartridge: Purge the LV material cartridge. Insert an Intraoral Tip into the end of a Mixing Tip and attach to the cartridge. Load this cartridge onto the Dispenser.

7. Place LV Material: Remove retraction cord, rinse, dry and syringe prepared teeth with LV material starting at the margins and working your way around the tooth, into the preparation and occlusally. To avoid air bubbles, agitate the tip within the material as you express it.

8. Place Impression Tray: Place the tray over the teeth and hold steady for approximately 4 minutes or until material is set. Test with explorer, probe or finger to determine set.

9. Remove Impression Tray: Remove the tray, rinse it with water and disinfect with any ADA accepted liquid disinfectant.

 

B. Single Viscosity (Monophase) Technique
This technique allows for an impression to be made with a medium viscosity impression material. This single material can be used both for syringing and for trays.

NOTE: Latex gloves have been shown to adversely effect the setting of vinyl polysiloxane (TWINZ VPS) impressions. It is recommended that vinyl or nitrile gloves be used when working with these materials. To avoid this adverse effect on the set, it is important to handle the prepared tooth, the adjacent soft tissues and the retraction cord with vinyl gloves.

1.
Apply Tray Adhesive: Apply a thin layer of TWINZ VPS Tray Adhesive to the impression tray (this includes perforated trays). Allow a minimum of 10 minutes to dry.

2. Select Monophase Material: Choose TWINZ VPS Medium Body/ Monophase.

3. Prepare Medium Body/Monophase Cartridge: Purge the TWINZ VPS Medium Body/Monophase cartridge and attach a Mixing Tip. Load this cartridge onto the Dispenser.

4. Load Impression Tray: Express TWINZ VPS Medium Body/Monophase material from cartridge into impression tray.

5. Place Medium Body/Monophase Material: Insert an Intraoral Tip into the end of the Mixing Tip. Remove retraction cord, rinse, dry and syringe prepared teeth with TWINZ VPS Medium Body/Monophase material starting at the margins and working your way around the tooth, into the preparation and occlusally. To avoid air bubbles, agitate the tip within the material as you express it.

6. Place Impression Tray: Place the tray over the teeth and hold steady for approximately 4 minutes or until material is set. Test with explorer, probe or finger to determine set.

7. Remove Impression Tray: Remove the tray, rinse it with water and disinfect with any ADA accepted liquid disinfectant.

 

C. Bite Registration Technique
This technique is utilized to capture occlusal relationships.

NOTE: Latex gloves have been shown to adversely effect the setting of vinyl polysiloxane (TWINZ VPS) impressions. It is recommended that vinyl or nitrile gloves be used when working with these materials. To avoid this adverse effect on the set, it is important to handle the prepared tooth, the adjacent soft tissues and the retraction cord with vinyl gloves.

1. Prepare Bite Registration Cartridge: Purge TWINZ VPS Bite Registration cartridge. Insert a Bite Registration Tip into the end of a Mixing Tip and attach to the cartridge. Load this cartridge onto the Dispenser.

2. Prepare Teeth: Dry the occlusal surfaces of the teeth.

3. Place Bite Registration Material: Syringe Bite Registration Material onto occlusal surfaces and have patient bite into maximum intercuspation. Instruct patient to hold this position for 1-3 minutes until material is set.

4. Remove Bite Registration Material: Remove the material, rinse it with water, and disinfect with any ADA accepted liquid disinfectant.
