ZOE and non-ZOE impression pastes are used for edentulous and wash impressions where their flow and detail are valued. Practices that use them keep a preferred paste for those cases.
When comparing ZOE and non-ZOE pastes, match handling and indication to your technique, then weigh vendor pricing and availability. Alara brings ZOE and non-ZOE materials from your connected vendors together so you can keep these workflows supplied.
