I had exocad denture module and it was ok but very iffy. changes to the occlusal plane were very difficult had to go back ot the origin and do it all over again. 3_Shape gives us the ability to make changes on the fly and then redesign. I bought the blueline license and it is quite good but...
Do everything from resting position. Reduce 3-4 mm on the articulator and then try in. In some cases a of exaggerated diverging arches may need to close up until the arches are parallel
do you have the temperature and melt times for the tcs or valplast material in Flexpress. I think everyone having a flexpress is scrambling for a second source. Myself included. Thanks in advance.
Save your money. if you want to do flexible partial dentures, you might want to consider a duraflex injection system for about 5K new.....I have one and use it every week. But the duraflex doesnt work well on feather edge ridges becasue you will never achieve sufficient support. I have had to...
It is true about true expression. There is a new line called Delara from Hareus Kultzer that is about the same....We use Delara now for midgrade denture work. I really liked the way the True Expression 10 degree teeth set up. For posterior teeth thats all I stocked.
Wear a level 3 mask preferrably disposable. And invest in a small air cleaner such as a homedics dust filtration system. they are about 150 at Costco and work well. We have two of them one in our processing room, and one in the computer room. Havent had any dust issues since. our printer fanns...
Yes the quatro dcs or desktop containment system is really good for erradication of monomer odour. The included charcoal filter lasts a long time. our is three years old now and still running well. We only use it for repair material and mixing the press packed acrylic. The Ivobase is a non...
two favorites of mine have been discontinued lately. One is Plastogum impression correction plaster which I use a lot when taking a bite registration with a pin tracer. The other is Kerr disclosing wax which comes in a 57 gm jar which I am using for peripheral border checking for under or...
Prelims using zhermack trays and hydrogum 5....finals using custom trays and then virtual....Bite rims on a pin tracer using plastogum for an index....upper bite rim uses the existing denture as a guide with any corrections I might want to see....Then it goes either digital or analog but digital...
I apply three coats on a warm model and just before packing I will place a thin layer of fresh stuff on. No problems that way...Before it was lifting up off the model....Ivobase has no issues and I think the formula was reworked for Ivobase.
I suppose that requires some explanation. When the only remaining teeth are in a single upper quadrant it usually doesnt work.Ie when the canine and two bicuspids are ony remaining int he arch on one side, it usually doesnt work.
If this is an upper with a unilateral situation in the upper arch it will seldom work. Gravity will take over eventually working against it. Lower is noo problem but upper will never be stable. I usually in a unilateral case of upper arch get the patient to extract the rest...
