What impression material is VPS adhesive used with?

VPS adhesive is specifically designed to be used with silicone impressions, particularly those made from vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) materials. This adhesive helps to enhance the bonding of the impression material to the tray, ensuring an accurate and stable impression. The chemistry of VPS is such that the adhesive adheres well, minimizing the risk of tearing or distortion when removing the impression.

Polyether impression materials, while they have their own adhesives, do not utilize VPS adhesive for optimal performance. Rubber base impression materials and alginate impressions also have different properties and adhesives suited to their respective compositions. Therefore, VPS adhesive's compatibility with silicone impressions is a crucial factor, ensuring the quality and precision of the dental impressions taken for various procedures.
