Intended Use

Elements™ is intended for use with all crown and bridge, occlusal and implant impression techniques to reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth and gums.

Device Story

Elements™ is an addition-reaction polyvinylsiloxane dental impression material; serves as alternative to traditional alginate. Available in light, regular/monophase, and heavy body viscosities; regular and fast set options. Used by dental professionals in clinical settings to capture dental anatomy for crown, bridge, occlusal, and implant procedures. Material is applied to impression trays or directly to oral structures; sets to form a negative mold of teeth and gums. Healthcare providers use the resulting physical impression to create dental restorations or appliances. Benefits include high-precision reproduction of subgingival details and dimensional stability.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only per ISO 4823-2000 standard, comparing physical properties (detail reproduction, linear dimensional change, gypsum compatibility, elastic recovery, strain-in-compression) against predicate device.

Technological Characteristics

Addition-reaction polyvinylsiloxane impression material. Composed of vinyl polysiloxane, filler, and pigments. Complies with ISO 4823-2000 (Type 1-3). Available in light, regular/monophase, and heavy body viscosities. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring crown, bridge, occlusal, or implant impressions to reproduce tooth and gum structures.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Impression material is a device composed of materials such as alginate or polysulfide intended to be placed on a preformed impression tray and used to reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth and gums. The device is intended to provide models for study and for production of restorative prosthetic devices, such as gold inlays and dentures.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (Special Controls).
