Does anyone still use CAD Spray?

[Matt Drury]

I was just curious if any of your guys out there are still using CAD Spray on your models?

No need to with the newest scanner, I only had to use it on models in the cerec red cam, unless you used cad stone.

Now I o my used spray on at and to abutment, partials, and diagnostic wax up being scanned in as pre ops. Otherwise no cad stone jist normal gypsum works great on 3shape scanner which I am using and the medit scanners and all others.

I use the cad spray from talladium, thin and a spray can size for 19.00 even you buy 5 bittles2. Otherwise tanaktin will work but imo it is too thick.


Very rarely will I spray models or dies, usually when painted with die spacer, but a extreme light spray just to dull the surface, or when non cad was was used to block out undercuts.

we use it for when impression scanning.. some impressions have too much shine

Very little, just mainly for titanium abutments, wax and soft tissue.

 

[RileyS]

Just abutments and pink tissue and wax. I use tenactin foot spray. a very light mist is perfect

Ti abutments, dies that we have done blockout and soft tissue. We use Graftobian white color temporary hair spray.

As all have said, on items of high reflectivity; metal, waxes, plastics, impression material (especially orange).

"Especially orange". I suppose the greens and purples etc aren't as reflective. Never thought of that one, Patrick.

I found that one out when we started scanning impressions for Digital denture. The heavy body (which is blue) scans fine without powder. The light body, which is orange, doesn't scan at all. The only thing I can think of is that orange absorbs the blue light waves so it doesn't show up on the camera (most scanners now use blue led light technology for scanning).

Are alcohol and talc the only ingredients for this product? That's a nice price.

It is alcohol based, not sure if it has talk or TiO2...never read the MSDS

how often do you imp scan? and what % of those imp scans are you spraying?

 

[DevonR]

we impression scan when it's rush case, or the models are not done/started. 90% i'd say get sprayed.. it just turns out better.

good info, thanks

As with most others, only on wax and reflective bits.

As noted before on implants, I have a decent library of implant abutment scanned in and set aside for importing into scanned tik reduce spraying twice.

So nobels snappy and straumann both have abutment that need no prepping and are designed for ideal placement. Whatcha did is get a good scan with very light spray. Took that scan files and renamed it to the name of the implant abutment Rob nobel snappy yellow 5.5, created a folder on the desktop and place the files in there and next case you get just spray the model and import the previously scanned abutment, this is what I do in 3shape, I'm sure exocad scan import scans during scanning not sure.

With exo the only limit is your imagination, will let you do everything you want ...

Only for abutments (= twice a year). I sprinkle baby powder on gum. Others were worried if I was pregnant when they smelt it. A friend uses dry shampoo.
