Penta
Quick VPS
Alginate Replacement

Try this VPS material once, and
alginate will be a thing of the past
for you … and a very grateful staff.
Until a few years ago, alginate was the only material available to dentists for making
preliminary impressions for things like study models, counter models, bleaching trays and
mouthguards. Then Position Penta Quick VPS Alginate Replacement was introduced by
3M ESPE, offering significant advantages over alginate.
Automatic mixing produces homogeneous,
void-free material – and it’s faster and easier
for dental assistants.
• Automatically mix and dispense homogeneous
and void-free impression material at the touch
of a button with the Pentamix 2 Automatic
Mixing Unit.
• No need to clean bowls or spatulas.
• No harmful dust like that produced from
using alginates.
• No muscle stress from hand mixing.
Longer dimensional stability means you can
pour models when it’s convenient for you.
Your schedule no longer has to be arranged around the working time of an alginate material.
This VPS material remains stable so you can pour models at a time convenient for you.
There’s no need for special handling or rushing to pour impressions immediately.
Summary of
advantages
• Longer dimensional
stability
• Higher accuracy
• Multiple pours from one
impression
• Fast working and setting
times
• Can be disinfected for
infection control
• Homogeneous, void-free
impression material using
Pentamix 2 Mixing Unit
Multiple pour capabilities save time and money.
• Can be poured multiple times without losing accuracy.
• No need to make more than one impression – you can pour over and over from ONE
diagnostic impression, making multiple wax-ups to verify alignment, bite, etc., is correct.
It’s more economical than alginates.
• Dispense only the amount of material you need, eliminating waste.
• The reduced labor time represents significant cost savings – with Position Penta Quick
VPS material, only six steps are required for making an impression, compared to as
many as 16 steps from an alginate manufacturer.

The high level of detail gives you confidence
in making accurate preliminary impressions.
• Impressions are highly accurate.
• May be reused for making
temporary restorations.

Since we started
using Position
Penta Quick
impression material,
my staff and I would
not even consider
making an alginate
impression.
