Hey guys! I have a tech at the office who is getting more into making duplicate emergency dentures. He uses the Lang technique and they come out very good. However the tinfoil he is using seems to not work very good. Acrylic is still all over the back molars very thick. I watched him apply it and he does 3-4 coats. Looking closer it looks like that tends to cause it to peel away more easily. He waits for each coat to completely dry however. Also I think he's making the teeth in another mold or skrinkage is occurring even under 30 PSI of pressure cast. Once he coats the trimmed teeth and places them in the flask you can see its not tight fitting at all so acrylic will encapsulate the teeth. Arcylic doesn't stick everywhere but around the gingiva area its bad. He ends up scaring the denture grinding the pink off the teeth. Can you guys recommend a good product other then lang? Or share your thoughts about what you do?
Thanks to anyone willing to chime in, I will try and post some pictures this evening of the resulting cast.
Thanks!
