METAL QUADRANT IMPRESSION TRAY Modeled After Dentistry’s Best-Selling Metal Quadrant Impression Tray For over a decade, this tray design has been a popular choice for dental clinicians. Compared with flimsy plastic trays, the Metal Quadrant Impression Tray is inflexible. Today, the Metal Quadrant Impression Tray delivers unparalleled accuracy and ease of use. ADVANTAGES Inflexible The tray’s rigid aluminum construction is memory-free and dead soft. It does not flex. To prevent distortion due to impingement in the retromolar pad area, the distal bar is thin and tapered. Wide Arch Shorter Lingual Wall The wide arch design prevents burn through of the teeth, a common problem with most plastic trays. Without limiting the number of teeth you can impress (up to four), the lingual wall of the Metal Quadrant Impression Tray is designed to prevent impingement on the lingual of the patient’s anterior teeth, particularly in smaller mouths. Retention Bars Adjust the tray’s arch width to suit virtually any patient’s arch size. Two upper and two lower retention bars along the inside of the buccal and lingual tray walls help lock the impression material to the tray, preventing material dislodgement. Attached Mesh This design feature prevents palatal impingement and axial roll of the tray wall, which are common causes of distortion. With no loss of rigidity, the Metal Quadrant Impression Tray is one of the only metal trays with attached mesh. This design detail prevents impression material from dripping and ensures it flows around the distal wall, forming a secure lock between the material and tray. Extended Mesh The quadrant technique used with this product makes impressions easy. The mesh extends slightly toward the handle to ensure the accurate capture of up to four teeth.

With tissue management and hemostasis achieved, clean the preparation with a Pre-Impression Cleansing Gel to remove any residual debris and hemostatic agent. This will ensure complete polymerization of the VPS Tray Material and Light Body VPS material. Place the Light Body impression material after the retraction cord has been carefully removed, making sure to keep the tip submerged. Place the impression tray immediately upon completing the syringing of the Light Body. Ask the patient to passively close. If no segmental bite registration has been taken prior to the impression, the patient may...
