Tray Adhesives

Border-Lock® dentulous impression trays and tray adhesive

Whilst using the dentulous Border-Lock® trays it is strongly recommended to use a tray adhesive to ensure optimal retention of the impression material. Each impression material is being influenced by thermal and polymerisation shrinkage. The use of tray adhesive ensures that the shrinkage of the impression material is directed towards the border of the tray and not towards the preparation. The use of adhesive is recommended for the disposable, autoclavable and implant Border-lock® dentulous impression trays and as well for custom trays. 

Border-Lock® edentulous impression trays and tray adhesive

As there are many additional retention grooves in the Border-Lock® edentulous trays, the use of a tray adhesive is not required.
