Scented plaster models?

[AnAppleaDay]

Hello all,

We came across scented models from a customer.
It was sometimes vanilla, chocolate or mint.

Anyone know whether this is from an actual dental product or do you think they used regular scented oils and such?

could be anything from hand lotion of the model handler, to simple flavoured algenate so the patient doesnt gag to death.

It wasn't a coincidence, as it was on all their models (and you could tell the models were really meticulously poured and trimmed) and the scents would stay the whole time we handled them.

I would prefer using a product made by a dental supplier, but would consider using something else as well.

Talladium was making a scented stone. I didn't think they still did but not sure. Should check there.

Personally I would never use the stuff. Found it quite disgusting tbh.

Most probably the flavor of the alginate they use. The stone absorbs it.

Got an impression once that smelled like sausage, thankfully the smell didn't transfer.

This was a green non-polyether material. Never did find out what it was, except it broke down really badly in heat.

Aren't you thinking of keilbasagum?

If you insist on an appetizing models with scent, just buy yourself a big bottle of vanilla extract from restaurant depot or others and add to stone mixture. You could also color your stone mixture if you want.

Tempra paint used to be the additive of choice for coloration. Anything better?

We got a sample a couple of years ago that smelled of vanilla.....very nice. Can't remember where it was from though.

That's it. Really common. Usually GPs 'cause specialists don't care if you don't like the flavor
