Waldent WalCap Amalgam Capsules

Direction To Use 

• With the capsule inverted, SLOWLY press the plunger end of the capsule against a flat surface until the flange of the plunger is flush with the capsule body

THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT. Initially, resistance will be felt, then suddenly released as the plunger pierces a diaphragm allowing the mercury to enter the mixing chamber

• Slightly spread the amalgamator (EndoKing Amalgamator For Amalgam and GIC) clips and carefully insert the capsule. Ensure that the capsule is securely anchored between the clips
• Select the appropriate mixing time from the suggested mixing times A range of mixing times is given to accommodate mixing variations that can occur due to machine type, age and line voltage. Correctly triturated amalgam will form into a bright homogeneous plastic mass. A hot, shiny, sticky mass indicates over trituration whilst a dull, dry or powdery mass is under triturated
• After trituration has been completed, carefully remove the capsule from the clip
• Tap the base end of the capsule sharply on the bench to ensure that the mixed amalgam is located in the base of the capsule
• Separate the base from the body and remove the prepared amalgam from the capsule. If the small separating diaphragm has come away from the capsule wall during activation and mixing, it will separate cleanly from the amalgam

CONDENSATION: Moisture contamination: If moisture has introduced into the amalgam before it has set, properties such as strength and corrosion resistance may be affected adversely. If the alloy contains zinc, such contamination may result in an excessive expansion (delayed expansion). Whenever it is possible, use a dry field. Insertion of the amalgam should commence immediately after trituration. Build the restoration with additional portions until cavity is slightly over filled. Remove any mercury rich amalgam from the surface, that may develop during condensation

FINISHING: Trimming and carving can be commenced immediately after condensation has been completed. Light burnishing can be used to advantage and if the restoration is polished, this procedure should be carried out after 24 hours.
