Preferred, new shade option
Ivoclar has introduced a new shade option, Preferred, for the SR-Ivocap Denture Processing System.
The Preferred shade provides more translucency, a new fiber technology, and a more universally acceptable shade for matching natural tissue appearance.
This new fiber technology adds significant color variation and eliminates the typical "bubble gum" appearance. These fibers blend well with the acrylic and creae a more desired "mottled" effect.
Clinicians save chair time because vertical dimension is not increased and precise occlusion from wax-up to try-in is reproduced. The SR-Ivocap system assures maximum degree of polymerization, a strong chemical bond with resin teeth, optimum density, and polishability as well as long-term color stability and a high-impact denture-base material.
For more details on this new Ivocap shade, call Ivoclar or send e-mail to [email protected].
