## Indications for Use

The Identium® Impression Materials are intended to: - be placed on an impression tray (or injected directly into the mouth, depending on the technique and device) and used to reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth and gums; - provide models for study and for production of restorative prosthetic devices.

## Device Story

Identium® Impression Materials are addition-curing, elastomeric dental materials used to capture precise anatomical structures of teeth and gums. Available in heavy, medium, and light viscosities, they are supplied in 1:1 automix cartridges or 5:1 foil bags for use with automatic dispensing systems. Clinicians place the material on an impression tray or inject it directly into the patient's mouth. The material sets to form a physical mold, which is then used to create study models or restorative prosthetic devices. The device is used in a clinical dental setting by a dentist or dental professional. It benefits patients by enabling the fabrication of accurate dental restorations and prosthetics.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only, conducted in accordance with ISO 4823 (Dentistry - Elastomeric impression materials) and FDA guidance for dental impression materials.

## Technological Characteristics

Addition-curing, elastomeric impression material. Available in heavy, medium, and light viscosities. Delivery via 1:1 automix cartridges or 5:1 foil bags. Complies with ISO 4823:2000/Cor 1:2004/Amd 1:2007. Product code ELW.

## Regulatory 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.
