The Virtual line of addition-silicone (vinylpolysiloxane) impression materials is recommended for
use to create highly detailed impressions of the hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity.
– Final impression used for the fabrication of indirect restorations (crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays
and veneers)
– Dental implant impressions
– Matrix from “wax-ups“ or for the treatment planning, study models
– Edentulous impressions

Each viscosity provides specific attributes to meet the needs of the dental professional.
Contraindication
The use of Virtual impression materials is contraindicated if the patient is known to be allergic to
any of the ingredients in Virtual impression materials.
Side effects

Interactions
The setting of vinylpolysiloxanes is inhibited by latex gloves.
Do not touch preparations or retractions cords with latex gloves. It is recommended that
operators wash their hands thoroughly or use vinyl gloves in order to eliminate all traces of
impurities, specifically when hand mixing putty. Other materials which may inhibit the set of
impression materials include rubber dam, retraction cords and retraction cord fluids. If the
operator suspects that the preparation has been contaminated, it is recommended that the
preparation be rinsed and dried to eliminate all traces of impurities.
