No, with the launch of Impregum Super Quick Material 3M extends the polyether impression material portfolio. All current Impregum and Impregum Quick Materials will be kept in the portfolio.
Based on the biocompatibility evaluation, which included an evaluation for the sensitization potential of the product, the sensitization potential of Impregum Super Quick Material was found to be low and not different from that of other 3M impression materials.
Impregum Super Quick Material was evaluated using international standards for biocompatibility â specifically, the evaluation was structured according to ISO 10993 (Biological evaluation of medical devices â Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process) and ISO 7405 (Dentistry â Evaluation of biocompatibility of medical devices used in dentistry). These standards provide a framework of toxicological endpoints that must be included in a product evaluation based on the nature and duration of body contact. For impression materials, the toxicological endpoints include: cytotoxicity, irritation and sensitization (ability to cause an allergic reaction). The result of the biocompatibility evaluation, which was conducted by a board-certified toxicologist, indicates that the product is safe for its intended use.
Yes, Impregum Super Quick Material is indicated for implant impressions. There are no constraints but it is especially suited for single-unit implant cases.
Impregum Super Quick Material can be used for all cases where 45 seconds working time are sufficient. There is no contraindication. 3M recommends but not limits using Impregum Super Quick Material or 1 to 2 units.
Impregum Super Quick Material is not recommended for Clear Tray Aligner impressions, but 3M™ Imprint™ 4 VPS Impression Material is excellently suited for Clear Tray Aligner impressions. The materials should be chosen depending on the technique the dentist wants to use.
All impression trays, full arch, quadrant and dual-arch impression trays generally used for precision impressions are suitable (metal and plastic trays, non-perforated and perforated trays, stock and custom trays). Generally, 3M recommends the use of rigid trays. Usage of a polyether tray adhesive is recommended unless using the 3M™ Impression Tray where a retention fleece makes the usage of tray adhesives unnecessary.
As with all astringents, Astringent Retraction Paste may inhibit the setting of 3M™ Impregum™ Super Quick Material. The paste must be completely rinsed off with air-water spray and suction prior to impression taking.
Since Impregum Super Quick Material is based on proven 3M polyether chemistry, there are no specific limitations. Retraction solutions have to be rinsed with water thoroughly before applying Impregum Super Quick Material.
There are no specific effects expected for Impregum Super Quick Material, similar to other 3M polyether or VPS impression materials. Use caution with VPS gingival mask materials, they can be used only with a separator that forms a sealed solid waxy layer (Sherasepal-U®, Shera®). Separating materials can be applied with a brush, to insulate areas that are necessary.
In general, the working time of polyether impression materials is shortened at higher temperature. In this case the materials should be stored at a cooler place (but not below 18° C/64° F) or a regular-set version instead of a super quick setting material should be used. The setting reaction of polyether is less temperature sensitive compared to a VPS. According to the instructions for use, 3M™ Impregum™ Super Quick Material as well as all other 3M impression materials should be stored at 18° C/64° F â 25° C/77° F.
Do not use 3M™ Penta™ Impression Materials that have been stored at temperatures below 18° C/64° F, the viscosity of the pastes will increase to such an extent that there may be mixing problems in the unit. They can be used after storing for one day at a minimum temperature of 18° C/64° F. This will re-establish the usual handling characteristics without compromising quality. 50 ml cartridge materials: If the material is stored at temperatures below 18° C/64° F, it needs to be discarded. Precise dosing and mixing can no longer be guaranteed even if subsequently kept at room temperature for a longer period.
For sufficient adhesion, it is important to apply a thin layer of 3M™ Polyether Adhesive, at least 1 minute before you intend to fill the tray.
Please use the 3M™ Garant™ Mixing Tips Purple only. The white mixing tips do not fit on the Impregum Super Quick Material cartridge. Similarly, the purple tips do not fit on the 3M™ Impregum™ L DuoSoft™ cartridges.
Please use the 3M™ Garant™ Mixing Tips Purple only. The white mixing tips do not fit on the 3M™ Impregum™ Super Quick Material cartridge.
According to clinical evidence and depending on the quantity syringed around each unit, the amount of material in one syringe should be sufficient for about 2 â 4 units.
The Intra-oral Syringe Purple is indicated for syringing preparations with all polyether precision impression materials from 3M in accordance with ISO 4823 Type 3 and Type 2, provided the impression materials are intended for syringing.
All impression materials perform as usual when using the single-use Intra-oral Syringe Purple.
Place the Intra-oral Syringe Purple directly onto the openings of the 50 ml cartridge and hold firmly in place while loading.
To minimize this effect, dispense a pea-sized amount of material from the 50 ml cartridge before loading the Intra-oral Syringe Purple. Often, you cannot completely avoid uneven filling. The first small quantity of paste dispensed from the Intra-oral Syringe Purple should be discarded until the base and the catalyst pastes result in an even, homogeneous mixture.
While loading the Intra-oral Syringe Purple, leave the mixing tip in the original angled position to prevent paste from entering the mixing tip. In an angled position overfilled paste will emerge at the side of the joint.
Close the 50 ml cartridge using an original cartridge cap. Alternatively close with a mixing tip containing hardened impression material. Make sure that the catalyst paste does not come into contact with the base paste to prevent paste cross-contamination.
3M™ Impregum™ Super Quick Materials are tested for an acceptable extrusion force. Please make sure that: 1) The Intra-oral Syringe Purple is completely activated and the mixing tip is in the 180° straight position. 2) The material does not set in the mixing tip before or during use.
No, the mixing tip has to be in a 180° straight position. Otherwise, the extrusion force would be higher and a part of the paste would be emerged at the joint venting valve.
Please be sure that the Intra-oral Syringe Purple is completely activated and the mixing tip is in the 180° straight position. Otherwise a part of the paste may emerge at the joint venting valve.
Dispense a pea-sized amount of material from the 50 ml cartridge before attaching the mixing tip. The first small quantity of paste dispensed from the mixing tip should be discarded until the base and the catalyst pastes result in an even, homogeneous mixture.
3M recommends to carefully syringe wash materials around the prepared teeth as described above. When using the air-blow technique there is a risk of introducing bubbles into the wash material which can cause voids at the impression.
Start spiral syringing around the tooth stump in the sulcus without stopping, and while ensuring that the mixing tip is not removed from the material. If the preparation has been cleaned with hydrogen peroxide, rinse carefully with water.
Make sure to use trays in an appropriate size (not too small). For an easier removal, block out undercuts before impression taking if information is not needed. Slightly lift the edge of the impression with one finger in order to let air creep under the impression thus overcoming the vacuum. Carefully blow air or water with the air syringe between the impression and the teeth underneath.
The main reason is that the working time has been exceeded and the wash material is already setting when the tray is seated. Be sure to use compatible materials and ideally materials from one product line with same setting speed. Do not combine VPS and polyether materials.
Such smear layers are an indication that the impression material has not set properly. One reason can be improper mixing of the material. Please be sure to discard the first amount of material. Another reason is contact with chemicals, e.g. traces of hemostatic solutions or pastes. These residues can inhibit polymerization. Also, thoroughly rinse off any retraction solution with water around the preparation. Such effects are often not seen until casting, where adhesion of plaster to the impression or the adhesion of impression material to the plaster cast can occur. If topical anesthetics containing epinephrine are used, let the patient rinse out his mouth well before the impression is taken. If the preparation has been cleaned with hydrogen peroxide, rinse carefully with water.
All commercial water-based disinfectants indicated for dental impression materials can be used. Glutaraldehyde solutions are recommended for disinfection. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use, time, and level of disinfection required. After disinfection, rinse impression well with water and blow dry. The impression should be kept dry when sent to the laboratory. Temperatures exceeding 60° C/140° F will damage polyether impressions.
Impregum Super Quick Material can be scanned with impression scanners dedicated for impression scanning. Depending on scanner technology used applying scanning sprays or powders might be indicated. With current LED line scanners (e.g. D2000, E3 from 3Shape), impression materials can be digitized without any surface treatment for easy access to CAD/CAM workflow.
3M conducted a clinical study. In this study, Impregum Super Quick Material showed a more pleasant taste and increased patient comfort compared to existing Impregum Penta Impression Material. The aftertaste was also rated much better. Nevertheless, the taste sensitivity is very subjective and differs widely among individuals. Some patients will still be complaining, particularly patients who do not like the minty taste.
The intrinsic hydrophilicity is caused by polyether polymers. Impregum Materials do not contain typical surfactants used in VPS materials.
Impregum Super Quick Material has a Shore A hardness in the range of 50 to 55.
