Simplified techniques for the preparation and use of reversible hydrocolloid impression material.
The use of a simple technique with an inexpensive syringe loaded with heavy-body tray material resulted in a savings of preparation time and storage space in the conditioning unit. Only one type of material needs to be liquefied. The use of the heavy-body material in syringe and tray in conjunction with a hydrophilic technique have practically eliminated the annoying problem of tearing of the material in the gingival crevice on removal of the impression. Moisture control is no longer an aggravating problem.
