One often overlooked route to streamlining dental workflow is to adopt a universal impression material - a single product that conveniently covers a wide range of indications rather than relying on multiple materials, viscosities and techniques. Using one high-performance impression material can help your practice reduce stock, simplify procedures and standardise procedures across the team.

Why one impression material rather than many?


Reduced stock & less complexity

When a practice uses multiple impression materials, viscosities, setting times and techniques, it also means multiple SKUs to monitor, multiple expiry dates, multiple training points for staff and increased risk of ordering the wrong product or running out of a particular variant.

By contrast, a universal impression material allows you to keep considerably fewer variants on hand. Skills can become standardised, and stock-control becomes simpler.

Standardised procedures for the team

With one go-to impression material, your dental team can adopt a single protocol (tray preparation, mix/automix, setting time, removal) rather than juggling different working times for different products.

Fewer procedures can lead to fewer errors, faster orientation of new staff and greater levels of consistency.

Reduced training and less stress all-round

When you consolidate to one system, the training burden drops. Assistants and dentists don’t need to memorise which viscosity to use for which technique; instead, they learn one versatile material.

As a result, the impression taking process is simplified and standardised resulting in less stress for the dentist and more comfort for the patient.
