IRM Restorative Material Powder Ivory 38g Dentsply 60661520

Description

Product Overview

The Dentsply IRM Intermediate Restorative Material Powder in ivory is engineered to serve as a dependable intermediate base for a wide range of dental restorative procedures. Formulated with a proprietary blend of high‑purity calcium sulfate and fine‑grade filler particles, the powder delivers a smooth, homogenous mix when combined with the matching liquid component. Each 38‑gram sachet provides enough material for multiple applications, ensuring consistent performance across a busy practice. The ivory hue offers excellent visual contrast against the surrounding tooth structure, allowing clinicians to verify complete coverage and proper placement. With a one‑year shelf life, the product remains stable under standard storage conditions, preserving its mechanical integrity and sealing capability. The material’s abrasion resistance is calibrated to withstand the forces of mastication while maintaining a secure seal, reducing the need for frequent re‑applications. Designed for professional dental settings, the IRM powder complies with industry standards for biocompatibility and is free from harmful additives, supporting patient safety and practitioner confidence.

Usage

Dental professionals employ the IRM powder as a versatile intermediate layer in procedures such as indirect restorations, onlays, inlays, and temporary crowns. Its easy‑mix consistency allows for rapid preparation, typically requiring a 1:1 ratio with the liquid activator, which results in a pliable yet firm mass within minutes. The material is suitable for both permanent and provisional applications, making it an ideal choice for clinicians who demand flexibility in treatment planning. In practice, the powder is applied after tooth preparation and before the final restorative material, acting as a barrier that protects the underlying dentin from bacterial infiltration and moisture contamination. The product’s excellent sealing properties also make it valuable in cases where a temporary restoration must endure for several weeks, providing a stable environment for the final prosthetic work. Its compatibility with a variety of restorative systems, including composite resins and metal‑ceramic crowns, ensures seamless integration into existing workflows. The IRM powder is particularly beneficial in high‑stress areas such as posterior teeth, where its abrasion resistance contributes to long‑term durability.

FAQ

What is the recommended mixing ratio for the IRM powder?

The IRM powder should be mixed with its corresponding liquid activator at a 1:1 ratio by weight. This proportion provides optimal viscosity for easy placement while achieving the material’s full strength after setting.

Can the IRM powder be used with all types of final restorative materials?

Yes, the IRM intermediate material is compatible with a wide range of final restoratives, including composite resins, glass ionomer cements, and metal‑ceramic crowns. Its neutral pH and stable setting reaction allow it to bond effectively without interfering with the curing process of the final material.

How long does the material take to set after mixing?

Once mixed, the material reaches a workable consistency within 30‑45 seconds and achieves initial set in approximately 3‑5 minutes. Full mechanical strength is typically reached after 10‑12 minutes, at which point the restoration can be finalized.

Is the IRM powder safe for patients with metal sensitivities?

The IRM formulation is free of metallic ions and contains only calcium sulfate and inert filler particles, making it suitable for patients with metal sensitivities. It also meets ISO biocompatibility standards, ensuring it does not provoke adverse tissue reactions.

What storage conditions are recommended to maintain product integrity?

Store the sealed sachet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. The recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F‑77°F). Keeping the product in its original packaging until use helps preserve its moisture‑free environment and extends its usable life.
