How many preparations can I impress with Identic Syringable?
Cartriloids contain enough material to syringe around four preparations. This is the maximum number of preps that a doctor would want to attempt with this system. Because alginate mixing must be timed with syringing so that both materials are still fluid, it is not recommended that more than four preps be attempted. While doctor is syringing hydrocolloid, the alginate is building viscosity on its way to being cured; heavy viscosity that will displace the hydrocolloid away from the prep site. Additionally, syringing numerous preps takes time and may cause premature gelation of the syringe material resulting in failed bonding.
