Description

Prevalent Green Tracing Sticks – Low Fusing Thermoplastic Impression Compound

Prevalent Green Tracing Sticks are a low-fusing thermoplastic impression compound supplied in convenient stick form. The material softens on heating and develops uniform plasticity for manipulation. Then, it becomes rigid again as it cools.

The material provides suitable viscosity and working characteristics at approximately 55–65°C. Therefore, dental professionals can use it for controlled border moulding and functional impression procedures.

For example, clinicians can use Green Tracing Sticks to record border extensions on custom impression trays. In addition, the material helps record peripheral extensions during impression making. Moreover, clinicians can use it to record the functional depth and contour of the sulcus.

The material also supports functional and relining impression procedures. Furthermore, clinicians can use it for muscle trimming during complete and partial denture impression procedures.

During use, the clinician gradually softens the required amount of material with a controlled flame or warm water. Next, the clinician applies the softened compound to the required tray border. Then, tempering the material in warm water for approximately 5–8 seconds prepares it for intraoral placement. The clinician must always check the temperature before placing the material in the patient’s mouth.

Clinical Applications

• Border Moulding – Primarily, clinicians can use Green Tracing Sticks for border moulding of custom impression trays.
• Peripheral Extension Recording – In addition, the material supports recording of peripheral extensions during impression making.
• Sulcus Recording – Moreover, clinicians can use it to record the functional depth and contour of the sulcus.
• Functional & Relining Impressions – Furthermore, the material supports functional impression and relining impression procedures.
• Muscle Trimming – Finally, clinicians can use the compound for muscle trimming during complete and partial denture impression procedures.

Key Features

• Low-Fusing Thermoplastic Material – The compound softens on heating and becomes rigid again on cooling.
• Controlled Working Characteristics – Moreover, the material provides suitable viscosity and working characteristics at approximately 55–65°C.
• Re-Softening Capability – Furthermore, clinicians can re-soften the material and repeat the procedure in small sections when further adjustment becomes necessary.
• Multiple Prosthetic Applications – Finally, the material supports border moulding, functional impressions, relining impressions, and muscle trimming procedures.

Why Choose Prevalent Green Tracing Sticks?

Controlled Thermoplastic Handling

The material develops uniform plasticity after controlled heating. Therefore, clinicians can manipulate it during border moulding and functional impression procedures.

Allows Progressive Border Adjustment

Clinicians can cool and examine the formed border. If further adjustment becomes necessary, they can re-soften selected sections and repeat the procedure.

Suitable for Prosthetic Impression Procedures

The material supports border moulding, functional impressions, relining impressions, and muscle trimming. Therefore, one material can support several related prosthodontic impression procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are Prevalent Green Tracing Sticks used for?

Clinicians use them primarily for border moulding of custom impression trays. In addition, the material supports functional impressions, relining impressions, and muscle trimming.

2. At what temperature does the material provide suitable working characteristics?

The material provides suitable viscosity and working characteristics at approximately 55–65°C. However, clinicians must always check the temperature before intraoral placement.

3. How do clinicians soften Green Tracing Sticks?

Clinicians can gradually soften the material with a controlled flame or by immersion in warm water. However, they should avoid boiling, burning, or overheating the material.

4. Can clinicians re-soften the material for further adjustment?

Yes. If a border requires further adjustment, clinicians can re-soften the material and repeat the procedure in small sections.
