Perfect. Thank you all very much!

My script says to move incisal edge apical .5 millimeters across anterior teeth. Can anyone translate this for me. My guess was to move down and lingual at a combined angle to move toward the root. Thanks

10 minute wax up = flow wax above teeth and in embrasures the heat a baseplate sheet and lay in 1 layer for the gingival-cut it off at tip of enbrasures. Push the wax into the necks with your fingers while its warm. Sloppy is okay. Chill the wax in water. Then with a wide lathe brush wheel...

It's worth it if you are wanting to train someone without experience. It goes over all the steps with natural setting of the teeth. A special bite block protocol, how to use tools for measurements, like an alameter. How to mark outlines, etc on the models. Set teeth wax and finish. nothing on...

Yes. 446F or 230 C for 12.5 minutes with a 3 minute hold time but be aware that those temperatures were tested on Myerson's FlexPress machine and your machine may have different temps so you might want to test it out first. I would lay a sheet of baseplate wax on a model and wrap clasps around...

There doesn't seem to be a lot of info online about the company. You are taking a risk by using a material that hasn't built a reputation for it's success. If you can find that somewhere, then you are better off proceeding with it. If not, well good luck. I took a risk using a flexible acrylic...

I just read this and had to add that I also use Duraflex and love it! The main reason that I chose it is because it doesn't pull in moisture so it doesn't stain. But since then I have learned to love it for it being easy to polish, easy to repair or add a tooth-clasp with the Hot Shot Gun and a...

The soft-resilient layer should be very accurate too but if thhard with no soft works for you then that's great.

I use Dentsply's Eclipse heat and seat material and the dentists love it. It's light curable so you just form the uncured material over the teeth by hand, tap in the occlusion and vwalaa! You have very little to finish if you form it by hand correctly. You cure two separate layer. The inner...

Nice technique. I'll look into the medical grade wire for that very purpose. Thanks!

Great ideas! Thanks alot!

Those are really great points. I can definitely try silicone for duping and turn the work around quicker. If they let me do provisionals or at least seat the work asap than I think that would be really good thing. Thanks!

I am duplicating my models with hydrocolloid and I block out the necessary undercuts and I get good feedback from the dentists. But can anyone suggest some ideas on how to make a partial (flexible or rigid) fit perfectly in the patients mouth without the need for the dentist to reduce tight...

Can anyone please tell me how to leave a patients identification in an flexible partial? Cutting out a space to bury it in cold cure acrylic won't work and grinding it in will leave a trap for bacteria to catch into. I'm using Duraflex but any suggestion from anyone that is injecting their...
