    Replacing old denture teeth

    We have had excellent "luck" lately with Pt.-acceptance, thus we have avoided troubles that beg the issue of: "why are we beating our heads against this prosthesis"? Beer

    Keystone Industry Question

    Thank you Vurban and JMN. I have settled the past recent years on Diamond D as my heat cure acrylic. So, maybe I will shop for Diamond D self cure resin at an economical price. I am still a bit hesitant and would like to hear other feedback concerning which self cure resin is a favorite...

    Keystone Industry Question

    I have used Diamond D, Millenium, and Sledgehammer self-cure acrylics through the years, along with other brands of reline and repair resins'. I am wondering which one of these 3 is the best at lasting, etc. I have repeatedly asked the folks at Keystone Industries for an explanation...to no...

    Replacing old denture teeth

    "Forgive me"..LOL..Dentures are rather forgiving, and of course as long as "the rules" are followed...and including all the exceptions to the rules...they have a great chance of being successful. :cool:

    Ok. I am having an issue with acrylic "flash" around teeth after process.

    "Interesting replies concerning that thin layer of acrylic flash. I have never had this issue, but I have had issues with failure of separator. I went back to using a silicone paste before top-pour and results' are nice. Of course I finish that top-pour on the vibrator.

    Deep fryer for boilout?

    That is amazing that a salesman wanted to sell a 5K unit....We had a guy from a plaster and stone supply company come in last summer....arrogant as all hell. It is amazing to see this kind of attitude displayed toward dental professionals. Banghead

    Riley...glad you are here and receiving input from others' who have been down this torturous route. Banghead PS: it is a great idea of Bob's to screen those calls, since your time is precious....even if the cheap-ass dentists do not respect it.

    Cold cure techniques for relines, RPDs, and night guards

    As a technician working with dentistry for many years, I have had a high success rate with cold cure relines. The issue, out of my control, has been poor impression technique, poor hydration by Pt., and poor tissue quality. In our clinic, as primary care providers the past few years, we have...

    Base plate material

    We use two Keystone clear suck-down base plates: .080 for the try-in base and .060 for the striking plate, on uppers. We mix artist's clay with Buffalo block out compound, which makes it less messy. We then roll it flat and line the model 360 degrees, using baby powder as a release agent. On the...

    Employee

    Hi Riley...I feel for you and your issues at this point in your career.:( You may want to outsource, as was suggested. It sounds as if the woman you hired has not worked out and her talents may lie elsewhere. Maybe ask her for her input, when you are not so stressed. I have noticed through the...

    Warranty work

    That REALLY takes stones to ask for a discounted crown such as that.:eek: The Dr. could just eat the lab fee, or just pass on the wholesale price as a value-added benefit to his family practice' folks and their family members...such arroganceBanghead.

    Warranty work

    Hmm...."the customer always being right" assumes that the customer is God, and can do no wrong. I worked at a lab back years' ago and the owner had that attitude. He was slim, and took BP med's, and would become so frustrated at being screwed, that he would go outside and just quietly...

    Acrylic Charges

    "Interesting question, Doris...I would be tempted to include a clause as part of my fee schedule, that addressed that issue of extra-effort prostheses, such as a percentage, etc.

    Dentist charged with manslaughter in 3-year-old patient's death
