IMPRESSIONS:
“The 60 Second Back-Up Impression”
by Dr. Rodger Kurthy


1. Notice that we trim the intraoral tip way back to allow easy expression of the fluffy material.



4. After 30-40 seconds I remove the impression.



7. Trimmed, washed and ready to reseat.



10. Remove after 35 seconds. Notice how the excess was pushed out at the border. When coordinated with your regular impression technique, this back up shouldn’t add more than a minute to the overall procedure.



2. Because it doesn’t run, Blu-Mousse® is easy to express over maxillary teeth.



5. Using handpiece or blade, my assistant removes any undercuts in the molds of the abutting teeth so the impression will reseat without impingement.



8. You can use a lot of Mach-2® wash because the super stiff Blu-Mousse will push all the excess out at the border.



3. I cover the prepped tooth plus the two proximal teeth.



6. She also removes any fins of material at the finish lines.



9. Seat IMMEDIATELY and hold firmly in place for at least 2 seconds! Then lighten up and hold for 20 seconds.
