Radiopaque liquid?

[Sevan P]

Does an one know of any Radiopaque liquid that I can apply to a PMMA restoration for try-in purposes? Instead of cutting the ZR I like to cut the restoration in PMMA and send that out for tryi-in but my docs want to be able to x-ray and check the margins. I have found radiopaque cement but I just need a liquid form to brush on the PMMA. Or do they have radiopqaue PMMA?

Thanks

Sevan

Try pep to bismol it has bismuth which is radio opaque and mint flavored

You mean this stuff?

 

[2thm8kr]

Yes and approved for internal use.lol

Your a crack up. I love it. No but seriously, is there anything else?

 

[2thm8kr]

Don't know, but we have been experimenting with using it under dentures for ct scans.

Peek or make your own disks out of scan acrylic

I've mixed about 20% Zr powder (leftover from the mill) with regular acrylic powder (used a glass mortar to blend evenly) then made a disk to be milled from...looks a bit grainy on the x-ray but it works.

Making a Sicat stent at the moment, have designed the thing in Exo and am about to mill it in PEEK but not sure if the dental stuff we have is radio opaque as they have a specific brand/formula for doing that. fingers crossed it will work or I am going to have to do a hard pull down over the framework and fill it with a radio opaque acrylic. Great work to be doing but very time consuming............

Dear John

Where or whom can I get peek from?

Nice, so just use the liquid and brush it on the inside and margin area of the restoration? That will show up good in an x-ray?

Barium Sulphate ?

That was option number 3 for me if I could not get my hands on the RO acrylic.15% barium sulphate mixed wlth cold cure acrylic. Hope you get it sorted Sevan, as for PEEK if you ask the nice man from Juvora he will send you out a sample.

ScanoCryl is PMMA polymer premixed with barium....why complicate things?

That's what I have got as a back up, we milled the thing in peek but we don't know if it will work or not so we ordered the Scanocryl as a back up, but just in case it did not turn up we have some old school barilium sulphate at hand.
