Dental Transparent Silicone Impression Material is a vinylpolysiloxane (VPS) addition-cured elastomeric material designed for creating highly transparent dental matrices, guides, and impression applications. Its combination of extreme transparency, controlled rigidity, and dimensional stability makes it useful for anterior aesthetic restorations, orthodontic bracket transfer procedures, implant impression techniques, and occlusal stamps for light-cured composite restorations.
Available in 1 × 50 ml and 2 × 50 ml configurations, this clear dental silicone is supplied with mixing tips for convenient dispenser-based application.

Key Benefits of Transparent VPS Impression Material
- Extreme transparency helps light pass through the matrix for effective photopolymerization of light-cured composites.
- Ideal rigidity helps maintain the original shape during positioning and repositioning.
- High aesthetic results support precise and clean restorative procedures.
- Fast working time of approximately 1 minute 30 seconds at the stated test conditions.
- Oral setting time of approximately 3 minutes.
- Easy shaping with a total working and setting process of approximately 4 minutes 30 seconds.
- Suitable for use in dental clinics and dental laboratories.
- Dispenser-mix format helps simplify material preparation and reduce unnecessary material waste.
Dental Applications
Anterior Aesthetic Restorations
The transparent silicone material can be used to create clear matrices and guides for anterior restorative procedures. Its transparency allows curing light to reach light-cured restorative materials through the matrix.
Orthodontic Bracket Transfer
The material can be used for making transparent transfer trays and matrices for indirect orthodontic bracket bonding. The clear matrix allows visual positioning while helping maintain the planned bracket arrangement.
Occlusal Stamps for Composite Restorations
A transparent silicone matrix can be used for occlusal stamp techniques when reproducing an existing occlusal anatomy during composite restoration procedures.
Implant Impression Applications
The material can be used in selected implant impression techniques and can be combined with light-body VPS impression material where the clinical technique requires it.
Resin Filling and Restorative Procedures
Its transparent matrix characteristics make it useful for selected resin filling and light-curing restorative procedures where controlled positioning and light transmission are important.
Embedding and Transfer Matrices
The material can also be used for creating dental laboratory matrices, embedding applications, and transfer guides requiring a clear, dimensionally stable silicone material.
Why Choose Transparent Dental VPS Silicone?
Extreme Transparency
The clear formulation is designed to provide high optical transparency. This is particularly useful when a matrix or guide must allow curing light to pass through to a light-cured composite or resin.
Controlled Rigidity
The material provides a firm, stable matrix that helps preserve its original form during placement and repositioning, reducing deformation during clinical procedures.
Efficient Clinical Workflow
With an approximate 1 minute 30 second working time and 3 minute intraoral setting time, the material supports efficient preparation and clinical handling.
Reduced Material Waste
The 50 ml dispenser cartridge format allows controlled dispensing and convenient mixing with the supplied mixing tips, helping minimise unnecessary material consumption.
Package Options
Choose the configuration that best suits your clinical or laboratory requirements:

- Dental laboratory matrix fabrication
Handling and Working Time
Under the stated test conditions of approximately 23°C temperature and 50% humidity:
- Dispense the VPS material using the appropriate mixing dispenser and mixing tip.
- Shape and position the material according to the intended dental technique.
- Allow approximately 1 minute 30 seconds of working time.
- Allow approximately 3 minutes for setting in the oral cavity.
- After setting, carefully remove and use the finished transparent matrix or impression according to the selected clinical procedure.
Actual working and setting behaviour may vary with temperature, humidity, dispensing conditions, and clinical technique.
Frequently Asked Questions
