Identium provides the best of both worlds: A-silicone and polyether.
This was the conclusion reached by dentists who tested the impression material made by Kettenbach GmbH & Co. KG ( www.kettenbach.com : cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url= .. ) for the Dental Product Shopper magazine. They examined criteria such as handling, flow properties, and accurate reproduction of detail - and gave it an overall rating
of 4.2 on a 5-point scale. Some 70 percent of the testers said they would definitely or probably use Identium themselves in the future. The number of those who would recommend it to colleagues was just as high.

For Identium, Kettenbach developed an innovative material for dental impressions: Vinylsiloxanether (VSXE). This product combines the best features of A-silicone and polyether. The result is superior hydrophilicity, excellent flow properties, no odor or taste, and easy removal. In short - convenience and precision for the modern dental practice.

These plus points were recently confirmed in tests conducted by the US Dental Product Shopper magazine, which asked ten dentists with a total of 208 years of experience in dentistry to test Identium. The dentists evaluated the properties and the user and patient friendliness of the material based on ten different criteria.



Quality and precision

For example, ease of use was rated "excellent" by six testers, "very good" by three, and "good" by one. In addition, they found that Identium had excellent precision and reproduction of detail; ease of removal was rated highest, at 4.7 out of 5. Four testers rated its flow properties as "excellent", five as "very good", and one as "good." One dentist commented on patient acceptance, "In contrast to other impression materials, none of the patients complained about the taste or consistency."


At the end of the test, 70% of the testers were so convinced that they said they would recommend Identium to their colleagues; 70% said they would definitely or probably use it in the future. One dentist with fifteen years of experience summarized his evaluation as follows, "An excellent product. I have used a different product for several years, but I love this material." Another added, "I am very impressed by this product and enjoy using it."
