The present invention relates to a dental impression material adapted to be cured by visible light, comprising a compound having one or more aliphatic unsaturated groups, a compound containing at least one silicon-bonded hydrogen atom and not having more than three hydrogen atoms attached to any one silicon atom, a photoactivatable catalyst component, and a specific initiator component.

A dental retraction and impression system providing self-retracting and impression taking of a prepared tooth in one step. Paired setting materials simultaneously retract gingiva, widen a sulcus around the tooth, and take an impression of the tooth and margins. A low viscosity setting gingival retracting impression material having an astringent and a high viscosity setting impression material set together. The high viscosity setting impression material is heavy body and has a higher viscosity than the low viscosity setting gingival retracting material so as to force the low viscosity setting gingival retracting impression material into the gingival space or sulcus.

Provided herein are compositions for applying a reference marker pattern or grid to the surface of an object to be imaged three-dimensionally. These compositions can be quick drying for ease of use. Methods of use of the compositions are also provided as well as devices and kits for the application of the compositions.

The present invention relates to a kit of parts comprising Paste (A), Paste (B) and Paste (C), the pastes being characterized as follows: Paste (A) comprising at least one polyorganosiloxane with at least two olefinically unsaturated groups, and at least one organohydrogenpolysiloxane, at least one alkylsiloxane having at least one carbinol, silanol, alkoxy, carboxyl or amino group, optionally filler(s) and optionally additive(s); Paste (B) comprising at least one polyorganosiloxane optionally with olefinically unsaturated groups, at least one addition cure catalyst, optionally at least one alkylsiloxane having at least one carbinol, silanol, alkoxy, carboxyl or amino group, optionally filler(s) and optionally additive(s) Paste (C) comprising a softener, a condensation cure catalyst, optionally filler(s), and optionally additive(s) optionally at least one polyorganosiloxane optionally with olefinically unsaturated groups. The invention is also directed to a system for storing and delivering Paste (A), Paste (B) and Paste (C), the system comprising three compartments for storing the respective pastes, means for delivering the respective pastes to an outlet orifice and an interface for receiving a mixing tip. The kit of parts or the system is in particular useful for conducting a dental retraction and dental impression process.

A system for fabricating a dental restoration to restore a tooth at a restoration site in a dentition of a patient is disclosed. The dentition includes a restoration dental arch and an opposing dental arch. The restoration dental arch include the restoration site and the opposing dental arch is opposite the restoration dental arch. The system includes an impression apparatus, a motion capture apparatus, an interface apparatus, and a restoration design system. The impression apparatus is configured to capture an impression of the dentition of the patient. The motion capture apparatus is configured to capture a plurality of location data points that represent the locations of the opposing dental arch relative to the restoration dental arch. The interference model generation system is configured to generate an interference model for the restoration site. The restoration design system is for designing a restoration using the interference model.

The present invention has as its object the provision of an aerosol product for forming a gel composition. The aerosol product has high storage stability and can form a desired gel composition easily and stably.

The aerosol product for forming a gel composition of the present invention has a double-structure container including a propellant filling space and two liquid concentrate filling spaces and having a discharging mechanism for simultaneously discharging the contents filled in the two liquid concentrate filling spaces. The propellant filling space is filled with a propellant composed of a compressed gas, a first liquid concentrate filling space is filled with a first liquid concentrate composition containing water and a water-soluble alginic acid salt, and a second liquid concentrate filling space contains a second liquid concentrate composition containing water and a dissociative calcium salt. The first liquid concentrate composition and the second liquid concentrate composition are mixed to form a gel composition.

A blockout putty for use in creating smooth finished molds, such as for use in creating a stone, gypsum, plaster, or other type cast of an impression such as, but not limited to, dental impressions of teeth and/or gums. The putty may comprise a first stage material, diluent, and lubricant. The first stage material may comprise: 0.10 to 30% by weight non-crosslinked polar polymeric resin; 1.25 to 75% by weight filler; 0.0125 to 7% by weight thickening agent; 0 to 45% by weight humectant; and 5 to 85% by weight water. For every 30 to 60 ounces of first stage material, the putty may comprise 4 to 12 fluid ounces of the diluent and 0.5 to 2.75 fluid ounces of the lubricant. The putty may further comprise dye, scent, antibacterial/antiviral/antimicrobial inhibitors, ingredients to control odor, and/or surface disinfection technologies.
