Evaluators’ Comments

• “The impressions obtained after using Take 1 were smooth and detailed.”
• “The low viscosity is much better than Traxodent.” 
• “I do Cerec crowns every day and it achieves excellent hemostasis and retraction to view the crown margins.”
• “I used Take 1 instead of a second cord in a two-cord technique. I hate packing cord and Take 1 eliminated the need for the second cord effectively.” 
• “Does not retract tissue as well as the current product I use.”
• “The high viscosity was difficult to extrude, and the tip was too wide.”
• “If the tissue was compromised, the margin was not always picked up in the impression.”
• “Easy to apply and clean – excellent product.”

Indications

• Both traditional and digital impressions
• Veneer or crown cementation
• Class II, Class III, and V restorations

Clinical Tips

• If the patient has tight tissue, it is difficult to get the high-viscosity paste intra-sulcular. In these cases, it is better to use the “two-cord” technique replacing the second cord with the low-viscosity paste.
• Take a pre-impression bite and then apply the Take 1 into the bite and reseat it for great hemostasis and retraction.
• Use of compression caps greatly increases amount of retraction.
• For the high-viscosity version, use a wet finger and pat in the material into the sulcus.
