Precision delivery system for low-viscosity impression materials that closes the gap during final impression taking
Clinicians have always battled challenges when it comes to final impression taking—among them tooth access and visibility, placement precision and control, and material waste. Part of the problem lies in the fact that most low-viscosity impression delivery systems are built around the material being used and not the clinician’s technique, which means adding in extra steps like backfilling syringes.
Building on the success of Aquasil Ultra+ Smart Wetting Impression Material—which combines wettability, tear strength, and speed—Dentsply Sirona’s digit Power Dispenser is a battery-powered, precision delivery system for low-viscosity impression materials that’s built for technique. It offers a unique pen grip design with power delivery that enhances both control and precision—getting clinicians 63% closer to the prepared tooth at up to 42% less weight, and with 84% less force requirement than typical 50 mL dispensers.
“The controlled and accurate delivery system in digit Power Dispenser prevents you from overflooding the mouth with wash material, which can result in gagging the patient. Avoiding this occurrence is a welcome relief for both the patient and the dentist,” said Dr. Timothy Bizga, a general dentist in Cleveland, OH.
Dr. Bizga’s practice focuses on comprehensive care, with special interests in implants, cosmetics, and facial esthetics. He cited digit Power Dispenser’s precision delivery and controlled placement of the impression material as two of its best features, which lead to overall better accuracy and reduction of impression-taking errors like voids and missed margins.
Its ergonomic design also makes it easier to place impression material compared with using a standard, 50 mL syringe. “The digit Power Dispenser is pen-style and pneumatically driven with the touch of a button,” added Dr. Bizga. “That translates into effortless placement.”
Better Together
Combining Aquasil Ultra+ impression material’s intraoral hydrophilicity and tear strength with the precision of digit Power Dispenser makes a perfect match. Aquasil Ultra+ helps clinicians capture impressive detail from dispensing to removal—free of any voids, tears, or bubbles—and digit Power Dispenser ensures the final impression is not compromised.
“The alpha and the omega—the beginning and the end of what it takes to capture a precision-honed margin in conventional crown and bridge dentistry,” Dr. Bizga said of using digit Power Dispenser to dispense Aquasil Ultra+.
