EXACLEAR is an innovative clear vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) material designed for aesthetic dentistry. Its key features include:

Crystal Clarity: Offers total transparency, allowing for high-intensity light curing through the material for composites.

High Tear Strength: Resists tearing during removal from the mouth or the model, ensuring the mold remains intact.

Excellent Dimensional Stability: Maintains its shape over time, allowing for multiple uses or delayed pouring.

Quick Setting: Provides a fast intraoral set time, increasing patient comfort and clinical efficiency.

This is a high-transparency silicone material used primarily for creating clear templates or "matrixes." It is a game-changer for the "injection molding technique," where a dentist injects flowable composite into a clear mold to restore teeth. Because it is completely clear, it allows the clinician to see exactly where the material is going and cure it with a UV light directly through the silicone.

Material Type: Vinyl Polysiloxane (VPS).

Transparency: Near 100% (High-translucency).

Working Time: Approximately 2 minutes.

Setting Time: Approximately 7 minutes total (including working time).

Shore A Hardness: Optimized to be firm enough for stability but flexible enough for easy removal.

The product typically comes in:

2 Cartridges: Each containing 48 ml (51 g) of material.

Mixing Tips: Includes specialized blue mixing tips (size L) for the NDS (New Delivery System).

Manufacturer: GC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan.

Preparation: Place the cartridge into a standard 1:1 dispensing gun.

Bleeding: Before attaching the tip, bleed a small amount of material to ensure even flow from both barrels.

Application: Attach the mixing tip and inject the EXACLEAR directly onto the teeth or a wax-up model to create a matrix.

Seating: Once the material reaches a putty-like consistency, seat it firmly and wait for the full set time.

Injection Molding: If using for composite, drill small injection holes in the clear set matrix, place it back in the mouth, and inject composite through the holes.

Primary Application: Ideal for the injection molding technique, clear matrix for temporary crowns, and as a guide for orthodontic bracket placement.

Compatibility: Works seamlessly with all light-cured dental composites.

Storage: Keep in a dry, cool environment. Avoid exposure to sulfur (often found in latex gloves), which can inhibit the setting of VPS materials.

Warranty: GC guarantees that the material will perform according to the technical specifications provided at the time of purchase.

Warranty is void if stored improperly or used with non-compatible mixing tips/dispensers.
