Aquasil® Ultra+ Smart Wetting Impression Material

Aquasil® Ultra+ has leading intraoral performance for both hydrophilicity and tear strength, adding an extra layer of confidence in less than optimal intraoral environments. The digit Targeted Delivery System puts precision placement at your fingertips, with single-use cartridges that get you up to 34% closer to the prepared tooth.1 With multiple viscosities and set times, you always have the right choice for the right case.

Precision placement

Choose a delivery system that allows for an ergonomic and accurate capture of the margin. Aquasil® Ultra+ material’s digit Targeted Delivery System gets you up to 34% closer to the prepared tooth and is designed to improve delivery from start to finish. 

Manage the tissue

While Aquasil® Ultra+ material is designed for intraoral hydrophilicity and intraoral tear strength, nothing improves your impression success as much as adequate tissue management. A sulcus clear of fluids and debris sets the tone for final impression success.

Keep natural hydration

Aquasil® Ultra+ material is designed to work with the tooth's natural hydration, helping reduce the risk of introducing additional trauma by desiccating the prepared tooth.

Use a timer to know your work time

Ensure your material provides adequate intraoral working time. Higher humidity and temperatures found in the oral cavity increase set speeds of impression materials, minimizing your time and potentially introducing distortion, drags, and pulls.
Aquasil® Ultra+ material provides an industry leading intraoral work time to allow you adequate working time.
