5. Select the appropriate mixing tip:
a. The large mixing tips (BLUE colored base) are recommended for Heavy Body and
Monophase impression materials
b. The small mixing tips (YELLOW colored base) are recommended for Extra-Light Body,
Light Body and Medium Body impression materials
(The color of the mixing tip base and the color of the cartridge cap are identical)
Insert the mixing tips in a clean motion so that the “V“ shaped notch on the colored base
is aligned with the “V“ shaped notch on the housing of the cartridge. While gripping the
colored base, and not the mixing tip, turn the mixing tip base 1/4 turn clockwise. (Fig. 4)
6. If necessary apply an intra-oral tip to the mixing tip (Fig. 5) :
a. The large intra-oral tips (CLEAR) are to be used with the large mixing tips (BLUE base)
b. The small intra-oral tips (YELLOW) are to be used with the small mixing tips (YELLOW
base)
7. Begin mixing by pressing gently on the lever of the dispenser.
Removing the cartridge
1. Lift the release lever to pull slide back. Lift the cartridge lock and remove cartridge.
2. Leave the mixing tip on the cartridge. The material will polymerize within the mixing tip,
functioning as a natural cap.
– Pre-Treatment of Impression Trays (Tray Adhesives)
It is highly recommended that a tray adhesive (eg: Virtual Tray Adhesive) be used to reduce
the chance of distortion when removing impressions from the mouth.
– Instructions for Virtual Tray Adhesive:
1. Be sure that all surfaces of the impression tray are oil-free, clean and dry.
Note: If the disinfection of the impression tray cannot be ensured, the tray
adhesive must be filled into a dappen glass, for example, and applied
using a disposable brush.
2. Apply a thin layer of Virtual Tray Adhesive using the brush provided to
all surfaces of the impression tray (metal or plastic) that will come into
contact with the impression material.
3. Allow the tray adhesive to dry for approximately 3 minutes (or blow dry
with compressed oil-free air)
4. Replace bottle cap immediately.
– Cleaning of tray
Residue of adhesive material can be removed with alcohol.
– Note the warnings in the Virtual Tray Adhesive Instructions for Use!
– Disinfection of impression
Impressions made with Virtual impression materials can be immersed in a disinfection solu-
tion (glutaraldehyde 0.5%, benzalkonium chloride 0.5%). (Please observe the instructions of
the manufacturer.) The disinfection does not affect the surface or the dimension.
