A small step for dentists, a great step for dentistry
A-Silicone line PRESIDENT The Original with optimised consistencies and new colours
With PRESIDENT ‒ the first A-silicone on the market ‒ the Swiss dental specialist COLTENE created a
milestone in 1975 in the development of high precision dental impression materials. Through the first
use of polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) elastomers, the users of PRESIDENT achieved unsurpassed dimensional
stability and precision which are still typical today for an A-silicone. On the occasion of the 40th
anniversary, this first A-silicone line has been relaunched under the name PRESIDENT The Original and
now offers further optimised consistencies as well as fresh, highly contrasting colours.
Enhanced readability of details
The new, fresh colours of the upgraded PRESIDENT line give even greater contrast between the wash
and tray materials. This allows better readability of the details. Experienced users will also recognise
that the familiar shades of PRESIDENT The Original are now brighter and more aesthetic. Careful
matching of the two new consistencies is also demonstrated by a perfect contrast between the
intense violet of Xtra light body and the creamy orange of putty super soft.
Additional viscosities
In addition to the familiar heavy body, putty and putty soft tray materials, the high precision A-silicone
line offers two additional viscosities: putty super soft and MonoBody. Putty super soft is extremely
smooth and very easy to mix. This makes it the perfect tray material for double-mix impression
techniques. By extending the range with PRESIDENT MonoBody, there is now an ideal alternative for
implant impression taking.
In addition to light body and regular body, the range of wash materials now includes the new Xtra light
body. As the name implies, Xtra light body is a very thin-flowing material which captures even the
smallest details and images them clearly.
The dentist has the option of choosing between different presentation forms, such as the patented 25
ml microSystem, 50 and 75 ml cartridges as well as System 360 for Sympress. Corresponding tube
materials round off the portfolio.
