Pretty sure post-it is the name of a 3M product. Theyre probably self-adhesive note pads or something

Why do you call a Post-it a Post-it?

Vertex Soft is something ive used and liked..

The only time i would do a valplast full denture is if the patient has zero tolerance to monomer. That is all. Otherwise theyre as good as cowpoo

Im upside down in australia - i use heraeus kulzer paladon 65 with a dentsply success injection unit. Fit, colour, strength is all perfect. I also use palaXpress self cure. Colour is very stable compared to vertex self cure. Colour is also the same as heat cure! Thats my two cents anyhow...

Upper and lower suckdown + price of the device... around 300-400ish? Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk

Good luck to the dentist. Might have to cut mechanical retention into the denture and use either self cure in the mouth or composite resin in the mouth Nothing really chemically bonds to valplast as far as i know Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk

I use paladon65 from kulzer in a dentsply success system. Works like a charm but you have to get the mixture correct Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk

A "loose" denture - upper or lower could be from aaaaanything from occlusion to impression to bite to ovd, etc. It is up to the clinician to figure out what the problem is. One thing that comes to mind is the periphery of the coronal-maxillary area - most of the time you will find that gap close...

Need to ask 'when is it loose?' During function or whilst reading a book.. you can sorta grasp an answer from there Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk

Implants and some sort of attachments. If they need a graft, bone can be taken out from the torus i dont think a full upper denture will work because there wont be enough soft tissue compression. Soft lining JUST over the torus miight help but it still needs to be blocked out sightly...

Dentures break for a reason whether it be due to a clinical fault or a technical fault. IMO repairs should not be guaranteed but on the same token, i like to keep my clients. If a repair that i have done breaks again, i will charge for it regardless of fault. It is the responsibility of the...

Not the biggest fan of processed bases or light cure bases (unless you need to take a wash impression) - however I use Metrowax. There are a few different formulas but being in a warmer part of the world, we use the formula for tropical weather. I buy in a 20kg box (44lbs?) but you can buy in...

tried.. nothing on their website and the supplier in australia says i need to wait a month for it to arrive. maybe we live too far!

Hi all, Just wondering, does anyone have or know where I can get a copy of the Lumin Acryl V Mould Chart? I've been searching for one for days and I still can't find one.. Need it ASAP as one of my new clients uses those teeth but I really can't find any information on them! ack! Many...

Actually, this reminds me. We have a problem with suckdown retainers too. We are currently using the new Erkodent Erkopress 300 and sometimes we are getting bubbles in the material and sometimes we find that it doesn't form properly. Any ideas? Oh yeah.. I'm in Australia so it's bloody hot...

microwaveable hydrocolloid.. does the job. never had much of a problem with it

do you think the patient is stressed?

I normally put the hydrocolloid in the microwave for 3 minutes on about 3/4 power then check if all the material has melted. if not, then it goes back in for another 2 minutes on 3/4 power but after i give the material a stir for about 10-30 seconds just my 2 cents.. :p
