Complete Partial Impression Tray Set for Dental Practices

Algilock Partial Set provides a reusable solution for partial-arch dental impressions. Hager & Werken designed the set with high-quality stainless-steel trays and an unperforated configuration for clinicians who prefer this type of impression-tray design.

The set includes right and left partial trays, allowing dental professionals to select the appropriate side according to the clinical situation. Therefore, practices can keep both configurations available without purchasing each side separately.

The Algilock system also uses a retention rim to help hold impression material securely in the tray. As a result, the design supports mechanical retention without relying solely on separate tray adhesive.

At TransAfrica Medical Supplies, we supply professional dental impression products and accessories. In addition, our TransAfrica Academy provides practical product training to help dental professionals improve product handling and clinical workflows.

Unperforated Design for Controlled Impression Procedures

The Algilock Partial Set uses an unperforated tray design.

Unlike perforated trays, the tray does not have openings through which the impression material passes. Instead, the retention design around the tray helps secure the impression material during the procedure.

Therefore, this configuration gives clinicians an alternative when their preferred impression technique calls for an unperforated tray.

Always select the tray and impression material according to the clinical procedure and the manufacturer's instructions.

---

Right and Left Partial Trays in One Set

One of the main advantages of purchasing the set is the inclusion of both partial-tray configurations.

The set allows clinicians to work with:

• Right partial impressions
• Left partial impressions
• Partial-arch diagnostic procedures
• Restorative impression workflows
• Suitable prosthodontic procedures
• Dental laboratory impression workflows

Consequently, the practice does not need to maintain separate single-tray purchases for routine right- and left-sided partial procedures.

---

High-Quality Stainless-Steel Construction

Algilock trays use high-grade, corrosion-resistant stainless steel.

This material provides the rigidity needed to support impression materials during seating and removal. Furthermore, stainless steel gives the tray the durability required for repeated professional use.

The Algilock system also emphasizes form stability and long-term usability. As a result, it can be a practical option for dental practices that prefer reusable impression trays.

---

Mechanical Retention Without Perforations

The absence of perforations does not mean that the tray lacks retention.

The Algilock system uses a retention rim designed to hold impression material securely without adhesive. Therefore, clinicians can benefit from mechanical retention while using an unperforated tray configuration.

This feature can simplify tray preparation and reduce the need to apply a separate adhesive when the selected impression material and technique do not require one.

---

Reusable and Autoclavable

A reusable impression tray needs to fit into the practice's infection-control workflow.

Algilock trays use stainless steel and support autoclave sterilization. Consequently, dental practices can clean, disinfect and sterilize the trays for repeated professional use according to the manufacturer's instructions.

However, always follow the current Hager & Werken reprocessing instructions and your practice's infection-control protocol.

Why Choose an Unperforated Partial Tray?

Before choosing between perforated and unperforated trays, consider your impression technique.

Impression material

Different materials can have different retention requirements. Therefore, select the tray according to the material manufacturer's recommendations.

Clinical procedure

A partial tray can provide appropriate coverage when you do not need a full-arch impression.

Retention preference

The unperforated design works with the Algilock mechanical retention system rather than relying on tray perforations.

Reusability

The stainless-steel construction makes the tray suitable for practices with established sterilization facilities.

As a result, the Algilock Partial Set can provide a practical reusable option for partial impression procedures.

Algilock Partial Set vs Perforated Version

The Algilock Partial range includes both set and individual configurations.

Therefore, if you want the complete right + left unperforated configuration, REF 101030 is the appropriate product listing.

What Dental Professionals Should Consider Before Buying

When selecting a partial impression tray, consider:

• Whether you need right, left or both configurations
• Whether you prefer perforated or unperforated trays
• Which impression material you use
• Whether you require reusable stainless-steel trays
• Your sterilization facilities
• The patient's anatomy and required impression coverage

In particular, buying the set makes sense when your practice regularly takes both right- and left-sided partial impressions.

---

Complete Your Impression Workflow

You can integrate the Algilock Partial Set into a wider impression workflow with:

• Cavex Cream Alginate
• Miratray Spray 200ml
• Cavex Alginate Container
• Cavex Water Dosing Bottle
• Kemdent Green Stick
• Alginate mixing bowl
• Alginate spatula
• Impression disinfectant

However, use each accessory according to its intended application. For example, Miratray Spray is specifically intended for improving alginate adhesion to impression trays, while the Algilock retention rim provides mechanical retention.
