Kerr Impression Mass

Kerr impression compound is a temporary crown and bridge material used in dentistry. It is produced by the American company Kerr Dental Products, which is one of the leaders in the production of dental materials.

Kerr impression mass is a mixture of two components - liquid and solid. The liquid component is a monomer that, once mixed with the powder, hardens within a few minutes. The powder is a polymer material that provides strength and resistance to deformation.

After mixing the components, a thick mass is obtained that can be used to create dental impressions. Kerr impression material is highly accurate and allows you to create exact copies of the patient’s teeth. It also has good adhesion to teeth, allowing a temporary crown or bridge to be firmly secured.

In addition, Kerr impression mass has high strength and resistance to acids and alkalis, which makes it a reliable material for long-term use. In addition, it is easily removed from the teeth after use, making the impression taking process easier.

Thus, Kerr impression mass is one of the most common materials for the manufacture of temporary crowns and bridges in dentistry. It has high precision, strength and resistance to acids and alkalis. This makes it an ideal choice for dentists who work with temporary dentures and need a reliable and durable material for their manufacture.
