RE: [ACEsthetics] Sil-Tec For Prelim Impressions

We all use Siltec in the mouth all of the time for temp matrices. I have
never used it as an impression material, but can't imagine it would not be
allowed because it is toxic. If its any good as an impression material,
beyond preliminary impressions, is another issue.
