Is there any way to make Molloplast B cure stiffer? Patient wants it to grab the ridge undercut tighter. My assumption is that the hardness is a property of the material itself, and that curing it longer wouldn't increase the hardness. One other idea would be to relieve the stone on the model...

Hi, everyone. I have a new case waiting on me that introduces a conundrum. I haven't seen it yet, but it's a partial frame that has cast-in attachment receptacles that mate to a bridge with Xpdent VS3 attachments. I've never seen these, but the Dr. says they don't make analogs for the...

Hello folks, I'm about to Ivocap process a partial with Bredent ball type attachment matrices in the framework, and I wonder if the rubber/plastc they're made of can handle being boiled. Will they be reusable or need replacing? Thanks!

I just got a case to reline, and it has some sort of suction producing one-way valves in it. It's an upper with no palate. The Doctor wants a palate added in, but wants the valves saved. Can those valves handle being boiled for 35 minutes?

I'm getting close to doing my first Ivocap reline, and I have some questions. 1. I've been searching this forum, and see that a silicone putty of some kind with a hardness of about 85 is recommended. I have some Pearson lab putty sitting around. Will that work? 2. How thick, and...
