METHOD OF PREPARING DENTITION FOR THE TAKING OF A DENTAL IMPRESSION

摘要

A method of taking a dental impression of dentition including conditioning a surface comprising one or more of dentition and a dental appliance by the application thereto of a wetting agent to form a controlled hydrophilic wet film. The wetting agent includes water, a surfactant, a compatibilizing agent and a film stabilizing agent. The controlled hydrophilic wet film is hydrophilic and is formed by brushing the wetting agent onto the dentition. The brushing controls the thickness and hydrophilicity of the controlled hydrophilic film to a thickness and hydrophilicity that is capable of inducing flow of an impression material that comes into contact with the controlled hydrophilic film. The flow is sufficient to flow into sub-gingival places. The film is contacted with a dental impression material selected from the group consisting of hydrophilic and hydrophobic dental impression materials.

1. A method of taking a dental impression of dentition comprising the steps of:
conditioning a surface comprising one or more of dentition and a dental appliance by the application thereto of a wetting agent to form a controlled hydrophilic wet film, the wetting agent comprising:
water;a surfactant;a compatibilizing agent; anda film stabilizing agent; wherein the controlled hydrophilic wet film is hydrophilic and is formed by brushing the wetting agent onto the dentition, the brushing controlling the thickness and hydrophilicity of the controlled hydrophilic film to a thickness and hydrophilicity that is capable of inducing flow of an impression material that comes into contact with the controlled hydrophilic film, the flow being sufficient to flow into sub-gingival places; contacting the film on the one or more of dentition and a dental appliance with a dental impression material selected from the group consisting of hydrophilic and hydrophobic dental impression materials.
