[QUOTE="Car 54, post: 243687, member: 85"] What works good on bridges in helping to keep them moist during building, is to leave a little facial tissue buccal and lingual under your pontics. Not only does using tissue help when pulling the bridge off after building, but it provides a wick for you to dip your brush in water and let it absorb into the tissue up into the pontics and surrounding contact teeth to keep them moist. If you use tissue or TP for the pontics or blotting, make sure it's a lotion free brand, which is usually the cheaper store brand, as lotions in Kleenex etc will hamper efficient blotting, as well as I'm not sure what, or if the lotion could get into the build up. I used to mist as you mentioned, but I got tired of picking up the bottle, so I just wet my brush and re-hydrate through the lingual. So I always start by building some body porc on the linguals of all my build ups, this way I can add water from there from the brush, or blot from there without disturbing the buccal/labial porc. build up.
