We mill our temps from PMMA discs. Can Voco's structure 3 composite be used to reline them when the doctor delivers the temps after prepping?

I've seen the past few years that it's lost on some, PMMA is not some new space age material invented for C&B milling pucks. It stands for Poly-Methyl-Meth-Acrylate. In short, acrylic. The same stuff that assistants we're making temporaries with splint suckdowns in the office for decades.

Therefore whatever "reliner" that is indicated for acrylic will work for PMMA. On the other hand, if you are limiting yourself to a composite "reliner", as John Wilson has said, you will need a composite-to-resin bonding agent for them to stick together.

Yeah I'm sure they have half a bottle of yellowed 20year old monomer they bought once sitting in the cardboard can in the back of the cabinet to go with the Jet Powder.

Who doesnt? I threw away the jet acrylic in bioform shades to end up buying more jet acrylic a few years later after I couldn't really find anything that worked better.
