What is it indicated for?

Aquasil™ XLV Smart Wetting Impression Material is used as an impression material in a dual phase impression technique. It may also be used for precise duplication of models.

Regular Set is used for capturing muitiple unit impressions. It is suitable for all impression techniques where the operator needs an extra low viscosity material.

Fast Set is used for capturing one preparation only (single unit crown); ideal for double arch dual phase techniques.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
