Okay people, it's me, again, and with another question, on a slightly different topic.
For the thermoplastic injection and compression technique, what is the single best (or major favorite) acrylic you prefer? Going through the literature as well as the sales brochures, I am seeing so many choices my head is spinning.
Keystone: Diamond D & Sledgehammer
Merz: Promolux & Promolux High Impact
and zillions more
1. Which, to you, yield the most consistent results?
2. Which have the least structural deformation upon processing? I will assume this is given in terms of feedback from the dentists.
3. Are any of these acrylics teeth specific, meaning, this acrylic works well with X teeth brand but using Y brand the teeth pop out?
4. Which are least or most sensitive to higher temperatures?
5. Which seem to mix easier, more uniformly?
6. Which seem to last the longest, both due to durability as well as resistance to patient damages?
7. Which seem to be the best received by the dentists?
I plan on offering three denture lines, or price points, and I would prefer using the same quality acrylic in all three, though some seem to advocate Lucitone 199 in the economy denture using cold cure. To me, it is the quality of the teeth as well as the time spent that should determine denture quality, meaning, even the cheapest denture should fit well and last a good long time.
What are your thoughts?
