Item Name Code (INC) 42009
Additional Information for Dental Impression Material Catalyst
Dental Impression Material Catalysts are substances used in dentistry to initiate or accelerate the chemical reaction of dental impression materials. These catalysts are typically added to dental impression materials to control the setting time and improve the accuracy of the impression.
Dental impression materials are used to create an accurate replica or mold of a patient's teeth and oral tissues. They are commonly used in procedures such as crown and bridge work, denture fabrication, and orthodontic treatment planning.
The catalysts used in dental impression materials can be classified into two main types: chemical catalysts and light-activated catalysts.
1. Chemical Catalysts: These catalysts initiate the setting reaction of the dental impression material through a chemical reaction. They are typically supplied as a separate component that needs to be mixed with the base material before use. Common chemical catalysts include metal salts, such as potassium sulfate or zinc oxide.
2. Light-Activated Catalysts: These catalysts are activated by a specific wavelength of light, usually in the blue spectrum. They are often used in combination with dental impression materials that are sensitive to light activation. When exposed to the light source, the catalyst initiates the setting reaction of the material. Light-activated catalysts offer the advantage of precise control over the setting time and improved accuracy of the impression.
Dental Impression Material Catalysts are an essential component of dental impression materials, as they play a crucial role in ensuring accurate and reliable impressions for various dental procedures. They are commonly found in the supply class Dental Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
