Dpi Green Stick

Description

DPI Pinnacle Greenstick Compound is a dental material used for border molding. Border molding is the process of adapting a border of a dental impression material to the contours of the oral mucosa (soft tissues in the mouth) in order to produce an accurate impression of the patient’s gums and teeth.

Pinnacle Greenstick Compound is a thermoplastic compound that softens when heated and becomes pliable, allowing the dentist to shape it easily to the contours of the patient’s gums. It is used to create a precise impression of the oral tissues for the fabrication of dental prostheses such as dentures.

Features:

• Thermoplasticity: The compound is thermoplastic, which means it can be softened by heating and becomes pliable for easy shaping and adaptation to the contours of oral tissues.
• Easy to use: The compound is easy to use and does not require any special equipment or skills. It can be softened in hot water or on a Bunsen burner, and shaped using fingers or modeling instruments.
• Good flow properties: The compound has good flow properties, which means it can adapt well to the contours of oral tissues for accurate impression making.
• Good tear strength and elasticity: The compound has good tear strength and elasticity, which helps to produce a durable and accurate impression.
• Compatible with other materials: The compound is compatible with a variety of dental impression materials such as silicones, ZOE etc.

Key Specification:

• It is a thermoplastic, green-colored compound that softens at a temperature of about 150-160 degrees Celsius.
• The material has good flow properties and adapts well to the contours of the oral tissues, making it ideal for border molding.
• Good tear strength and elasticity, which helps to produce a durable and accurate impression.
• Moderate setting time, which allows the dentist enough time to shape and adjust the material before it hardens.
• Single-use material and should not be reused or sterilized after use.
