To ensure optimal adhesion between the impression tray and the impression material, use our Universal Adhesive, which is a uniform solution for all Kettenbach Dental impression materials.
Universal Adhesive – a simply intelligent “one-size-fits-all” solution
To ensure optimal adhesion between the impression tray and the impression material, it is recommended to use an adhesive that is appropriate for the chemical composition of the impression material.
Our Universal Adhesive is specifically tailored to be a uniform solution for all Kettenbach Dental impression materials, like Panasil®, Silginat® and Identium®.
Our soft relining material Mucopren® Soft is to be combined with Mucopren® Adhesive.

Visalys® CemCore from Kettenbach Dental is a dual-curing luting composite designed for safe and predictable cementation of all indirect restorations. This 2-in-1 product can also be used for fabricating core build-ups and build-up fillings. The unique, patented Active-Connect Technology eliminates typical conflicts and enables optimal mixing of the somewhat hydrophobic composite Visalys® CemCore with the hydrophilic Visalys® Tooth Primer on the damp tooth surface, resulting in a permanently high adhesive bond. Visalys® CemCore features excellent flow properties, is radiopaque, bisphenol-A-free, and ready to use.
The correct procedure for taking an alginate impression for an individual edentulous tray.
Determine the tray size based on the old denture. If in doubt, choose one tray size larger for the upper jaw and one tray size smaller for the lower jaw. For a large jaw, it is best to use a tray for a dentate jaw and apply yellow beeswax to the trigonea. Coat the trays with the appropriate adhesive and make the alginate stiff. If using Silginat® (an A-silicone) for the impression, first coat the trays with Panasil® adhesive.
It is important to note that a good individual tray can only be made thanks to a correct preliminary impression with alginate or Silginat® (scan-optimised A-silicone impression material). If trays are to be printed, it is preferable to make the preliminary impression with a scan-optimised impression material. For crown and bridge work, it is important that the tray is not too tight; in addition to blocking out undercuts, sufficient impression space (at least 4 to 5 mm) must also be created. Any inhibition layer on the plastic individual tray can interfere with the curing process of the impression material and must be thoroughly removed before use. After checking the fit, use the appropriate tray adhesive (also just over the edges). An adhesive only has a good adhesive effect once the adhesive layer is dry (after approximately 4 minutes).
General guidance: always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and the product IFU, and observe working and setting times. For more tips, consult our full troubleshooting guide.
Consider external factors that could affect the processing and curing of the impression material: These include temperature (warmer or colder than room temperature), use of latex gloves, a polyether “contaminated” impression syringe, and the inhibition layer (lubricant layer) of temporary restoration material left on the preparation. Furthermore, some retraction agents may have a negative effect on the curing of the impression material; we have not received any complaints about this with regard to Kettenbach impression materials for decades. For sufficient pressure with a medium and heavy body consistency, preferably use a closed impression tray. Ensure that it is coated with the correct tray adhesive; the adhesive must be dry before the tray is filled with impression material. With a customized impression tray, ensure sufficient space (4 to 5 mm) and remove any inhibition layer. Important: remove retraction cord or paste and any cotton rolls from the patient’s mouth just before taking the impression.
Begin the best preparation for printing by first determining the tray selection and individualising it if necessary. Coat the trays with adhesive before preparation; also just over the edges (adhesive must be dry for the adhesive effect). Prepare a partial tray so that, if desired, a second impression can be made immediately after removal. Due to the pressure during the first impression, there is a good chance that any bleeding will be under control. Prepare the mixing gun/syringe/device for use and set the timer to the desired total curing time. The practitioner and assistant should be ready to start spraying the preparation and filling the impression tray simultaneously.
Important: remove retraction cord or paste and any cotton rolls from the patient’s mouth just before taking the impression.
