[QUOTE="denturist-student, post: 156511, member: 5492"] Okay I thought I would followup on the hydrogum-5 with neocolloid,, It works quite well and along with tropicalgin instead of hydrogum 5 to me seems like a good substitute for the ivoclar accu gel alginates...The Tropicalgin is a bit stiffer mix kind of like the try a material accu-tray...Really good reproduction and no delamination occured on five cases for preliminary impressions...As smilestyler said it does a good job at reproduction of anatomy in dentate cases so I will start using it on RPD caseworks....Good holding time for the neocolloid at four minutes so easy to inject and it flows really nicely.....At $24.00 a pound it seems like a good substitute for the accu-gel alginates at a fraction of the cost....Also using plastogum for bite registrations with a pin tracer and as well using alluwax for partial and single denture bite registrations and that works out very well...Not mushy bites like the silicone bite registrations....The accu gel and accu tray packages run around $3.00 each so not too bad for the substitute which can buy 2 pounds for the same price....roughly 9.00 for a single accudent impression using 3 packets of alginate... So not to compare apples with oranges here but hey it is good to know what we can do if our supplies of one or the other take their sweet time in arriving. Also finding Genie not as user friendly but I can manage it okay...Similar price is the Elite brand of silicone pvs impression materials which I have used as well....I may submit a photo soon.
