Instructions for use

1. Place one Thermoplastic Molding Tab per tooth to be molded in approximately 70°C/158°F hot water, until the material becomes soft and clear (approx. 1 minute). For multiple applications, use more tablets as needed. The tablets can be kneaded together once they have become transparent.
2. Shape the transparent material into a cube and press it around the teeth that are being molded. Note: After cooling, the material quickly becomes hard and turns opaque blue. It can be cooled more rapidly by briefly spraying water on it.
3. Remove the hardened Thermoplastic Molding Tab from the tooth and lightly isolate it with Vaseline or another separating agent. Note: When using temporary crown and bridge materials, they may not exceed an initial temperature of 25°C/77°F.
4. Apply temporary crown and bridge material as normal.

Before Usage

• Thermoplastic Molding Tabs sticks to gloves. Always knead Thermoplastic Molding Tabs without gloves. For insertion in the mouth, isolate the fingertips of the gloves with Vaseline, or any petroleum jelly.
• In order to ensure secure removal, do not model Thermoplastic Molding Tabs too tightly around the teeth when making an impression in the mouth.
• Block out any undercuts with an appropriate agent, e.g. wax.
• Do not use Thermoplastic Molding Tabs to make an impression of more than 5 teeth.
• Perform any necessary post-processing of the impression with a scalpel.
• The impressions retain their form for months and can also be re-used later, e.g. if a temporary restoration break.
