Abstract: The present invention relates to a hardenable dental composition comprising (A) a curable component comprising curable moieties (AC), (B) a crosslinker component as component (B) capable of crosslinking said component (A), (C) a catalyst as component (C) capable of catalyzing a crosslinking reaction of component (A) and component (B), (D) polymeric particles as filler component (D), the polymeric particles having a maximum particle size of 150 ?m or below and being composed of organic polymers, silicone elastomers or a combination or mixture thereof and preferably (E1) an inorganic filler component having a BET surface from 50 to 400 m2/g. The invention also relates to the use of a polymeric particulate filler component (D) for producing a hardenable dental composition, the hardenable dental composition being in particular useful as dental impression or dental retraction material or for dental impression or dental retraction purposes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dental impression composition comprising a hardenable matrix and glass beads having a particle size (d50/?m) equal or below about 60 ?m. The invention also relates to a method of producing this composition and its use.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition for taking dental impressions, the composition comprising a siloxane component (A) comprising terminal vinyl groups, a siloxane component (B) comprising Si—H groups, a catalyst (C) being able to catalyze a curing reaction between components (A) and (B) and a silicone oil (D), wherein the silicone oil has a viscosity at 23 DEG C of at least about 600,000 mPa*s and is present in an amount from about 1 to about 20 wt.% with respect to the weight of the whole composition. The invention also relates to a method of producing such a composition and a method for adjusting the Shore hardness A of a composition.

Abstract: A dental impression tray has a wall member which, in the working position of the tray, is disposed on the inner surface facing the jaw, is opposite the dental arch which faces the palate or tongue, respectively, and forms a flow surface for directing impression material into the region between a tooth or stub and the gingiva to prevent voids in the solidified impression.

Abstract: A dental impression tray comprises a mold shell made of synthetic material and having an inner space for receiving the impression material, and a support shell made of metal and surrounding the exterior of the mold shell in order to provide the overall impression tray with the rigidity and dimensional stability required for taking precisely fitting impressions. The support shell may be detachably connected to the mold shell by positive or non-positive engagement. While the mold shell including the impression material is passed on to the technician who will produce a model of the teeth from which the impression was taken and who may subsequently dispose of the mold shell including the impression material, the support shell will remain with the dentist, immediately ready for reuse upon sterilization.
