KETTENBACH
A Unique Formula that Doesn't Waste Time
In dentistry, time is always of the essence. Saving a few seconds during the impression-taking process, for example, can quickly add up to smoother appointments and less discomfort for patients while in the dental chair. For years, Staten Island, NY, clinician Dr. Craig Ratner had searched for a line of impression materials that offered ideal working times and the shortest setting times possible. When he finally came across Kettenbach’s Panasil, he knew he had found an efficient solution.
“This impression material gives me enough time to get the impression seated in the mouth and has a short setting time so patients experience little discomfort,” he explained.
A Variety of Viscosities
In addition to its short setting time, the Panasil family of A-silicone-based precision impression materials features exceptional hydrophilicity and high tear strength. It includes materials in a range of viscosities, allowing for precise results regardless of the indication or technique. Dr. Ratner noted that he uses multiple impression protocols depending on the treatment at hand. When taking impressions for full-arch crown-and-bridge or multiple implant restorations, for example, he uses Panasil Tray Fast Heavy with Panasil Initial Contact X-Light.
“The heavy body provides a compressive force that pushes the syringe material deep into the sulcus, while the hydrophilic, flowable light body can capture the margins in a very accurate way,” he shared. “And the ability to autodispense to fill impression trays quickly and easily is certainly an advantage.”
Dr. Ratner is pleased that the Panasil product line checks all his boxes for easy and accurate impression-taking. “The combination of expedited setting times, optimal viscosities, accurate results, and a low relative cost makes Panasil a perfect choice for our office,” he concluded.
