The new Honigum Pro material also scores highly in terms of toughness and convenient processing. The reason: The combination of improved hydrophilic properties and unique rheological behavior.Īnd that's not all. Of the impression materials tested, Honigum Pro Heavy in combination with Honigum Pro Light demonstrates the best flow behavior in the moist conditions of the area of the subgingival preparation line in an artificial sulcus.
Flow behavior in the moist sulcus environment plays a crucial role in the accuracy of the impression - and thus in the quality of the restoration**. Impression materials must be able to handle moisture.
This is enabled by the special crystalline structure that no other material can offer. The material remains at the application site without any run-off. If no "pressure" (scientifically speaking: "shear force") is applied, Honigum Pro offers excellent stability. This allows even the smallest areas to be reliably reached, also in moist conditions. That means: Honigum Pro flows when it needs to flow. Honigum Pro's unique chemistry developed by DMG enables unparalleled flowability under pressure - AND outstanding stability when force is not applied. Uniquely beneficial: the rheologically active matrix.
This is made possible by the developed internal structure of the material, the "rheologically active matrix". No drips during insertion, no inadvertent material run-off – either from the preparation or from the impression tray. The result: maximum precision, no-mess handling. Stability on the one hand - flowability on the other? In this respect, DMG's premium impression material Honigum Pro does not compromise. Stays where you need it - flowable when you want it.
