Dux Dental has introduced a value-priced dental alginate that will help dental and orthodontic practices realize a 50% savings on impression material, according to the company.
Image Dust-Free Alginate is a quality impression material that creates a smooth, glass-like surface to ensure precision impressions and molds, Dux said.
The alginate is green-colored, mint-scented, and 100% biodegradable. Fast-set Image alginate sets in two minutes, while the regular version sets in three minutes. Both provide 100 hours of dimensional stability when sealed in a plastic bag so the impression pour can be delayed.
Image Dust-Free Alginate product packages are available now through U.S. and Canadian dental dealers. The Image Dust-Free Alginate includes one 500-g pouch of alginate for $9. The Image Dust-Free Alginate Fast Set Starter Pack includes one 500-g pouch of alginate and one mixing canister, powder scoop, and water vial for $10.
