[QUOTE="David Laville, post: 324835, member: 17659"] I use to make the Impak night guards for lab I use to work, Using the manufacturers mixing ratio they came out too soft, like gummy bears. I altered the ratio, sorry can't remember it was too long ago, and they came out harder and still had thermoplastic characteristics. A lot of the dentist didn't like them because they said the soft material caused the patient to clench even harder. I started making splints using hard acrylic on the outside and lined with Impak material on the inside.They functioned as a normal hard splint with great retention and the patients said they were more comfortable to wear.
