Intended Use

For use in taking the final Impression of prepared teeth in adult or deciduous teeth when the dentist has determined that a crown or a bridge is needed. The dentist examines the patient and determines the need for a crown or bridge. They then prepare the teeth or tooth in their usual manner. The two component impression material is then mixed manually or automatically and placed into an impression tray of the dentists' choosing. The material is then placed in the mouth and allowed to set, approx. 4 minutes, resulting in an impression of the prepared teeth. The resulting impression is then disinfected and a model is poured from this impression for use by the dentist or dental lab in preparation of the crown or bridge that is to be constructed.

Device Story

Lone Star Impression Systems is a two-component dental impression material. Used by dentists in clinical settings to capture anatomical details of prepared teeth. Material is mixed manually or automatically, loaded into a dental tray, and inserted into the patient's mouth. After approximately 4 minutes of setting time, the material forms a negative impression of the teeth. The impression is removed, disinfected, and used to create a dental model. This model serves as the basis for dental labs or clinicians to fabricate crowns or bridges. The device facilitates restorative dental procedures by providing accurate physical replicas of prepared tooth structures.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Two-component impression material; manual or automatic mixing; physical setting process (approx. 4 minutes); intended for use with standard dental impression trays.

Indications for Use

Indicated for taking final impressions of prepared adult or deciduous teeth requiring crown or bridge restoration.
