Pozzi Schreinemaker Edentulous Trays

The Schreinemaker Edentulous Impression Trays have gained reputation as the No. 1 impression tray in the prosthodontic field by dentists from countries all over the world. Now is sold in the U.S.A. endorsed by Pozzi^®.

The black colored autoclavable Border-Lock^® trays are reusable acrylic impression trays. The name Border-Lock^® refers to the patented retention system. Special horizontal slits along the border of the tray provide an excellent locking mechanism for the impression material. The tray is made from Ryton, Polyphenylene Sulphide (PPS). This is a thermoplastic material with high dimensional stability at elevated temperatures. The rigidity of the Border-lock^® tray has been scientifically tested and proven suitable for making precision impressions. A characteristic of the autoclavable border-lock trays is that they have a “metal sound”.

The border-lock edentulous impression trays have been designed specifically for both the monophase and sandwich impression techniques. In the monophase impression technique, the tray is filled with one impression material. The sandwich impression technique, the tray is filled with two impression materials of different viscosities, which are used simultaneously when making an impression. Impression materials that can be used in the trays are materials like alginates, silicones and polyether. Tray selection of the edentulous for the lower arch: measure intraorally the distance between the retromolar pads, using a caliper. The caliper is than placed on the template to identify the proper size of tray to use. The upper arch: measure the greatest distance between the buccal faces of the alveolar ridge with the caliper. Place the caliper on the measuring template to identify the proper size of tray to use.

If activation and the removal of the impression tray using the pressure technique occur correctly, it is not necessary to use an adhesive with elastomers or polyether, in combination with the impression trays. For certain particular hard impression case, the specialist may select the adhesive suggested by the impression material manufacturer. Disinfect in accordance with the instructions provided by the producer of the impression material used. The black color “metal sound” can withstand a maximum heat of up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit, and are suitable for sterilization in an autoclave.
