General informationThis section has been translated automatically.

The impression syringe, a disposable syringe made of plastic, is required for taking an impression or taking an impression of the dentition. It is often referred to as a double piston impression syringe and is an indispensable tool for the even injection of easy-flowing impression materials (e.g. silicone impression materials). The impression syringe has a flexible, angled tip that is suitable for all impression materials. With the help of an impression syringe, the thin-flowing impression material (impression materials) can be placed even in inaccessible or difficult to reach areas such as cavities. In single-phase impressions, a medium-flowing elastomer is applied in one working phase with an impression syringe and impression tray (impression tray).
