VINYLSILOXANETHER®: Reduction of the intra-surgical impression’s setting time and enhancement of aesthetic predictability in immediate loading

The impression affects the accuracy of the definitive cast thus an accurate impression is essential to fabricate a prosthesis with a good fit. In implant prosthodontics, a successful result can be achieved only when passively fitting prostheses are fabricated. The aim of the present report is to the evaluation of Vinylsiloxanether® (VSX) for the reduction of the intra-surgical impression’s setting time and enhancement of aesthetic predictability in immediate loading. VSX was used in four clinical cases of immediate implant loading, two were cemented and two were screw-retained to verify the predictability of transfer of soft tissues on a plaster model and the predictability of impression transfer. VSX gave us a predictability transfer of both systems reducing the intra-surgery setting time of the impression and ensuring an immobilization of the transfer impression copings, with accurate intra-oral implant position to the working cast. VSX is an excellent impression material, reducing the intra-surgical impression’s setting time and enhancing aesthetic predictability in immediate loading.
