The QUAD-TRAY® Xtreme™ is definitely on my list of products that I wouldn’t want to practice without. I’m not sure what took so long to get it onto these pages — perhaps I have just started to take it for granted. Maybe it’s because it gets covered with impression material pretty quickly and is not heard from again. But from the looks of the double-arch tray cases coming into the laboratory, many of you like it as well, as almost one-third of our incoming cases are taken with the QUAD-TRAY Xtreme. Clinician’s Choice improved the original QUAD-TRAY by making the distal bar 25% thinner to help make room for the retro molar pad, a big problem area for plastic double-arch trays. A shorter lingual wall keeps the tray free from the patient’s anterior teeth, another common cause of plastic double-arch tray distortion. The QUAD-TRAY Xtreme is now the No. 1 selling aluminum double-arch impression tray in the world, and has been my exclusive double-arch tray for the last seven years. Try one and you won’t go back to plastic!
