[QUOTE="TECHARTISAN, post: 91062, member: 1289"] Yes, as I said before bre-crystal, acry free, flexite mp are the current offerings of thermoplastic PMMA I am aware of. If we are losing something in translation I am sorry...be it ivo-capsules or handmixed Diamond D.....heating will initiate/accelerate cure leaving you with a solid mass. This mass should there have been initial residual formaldehyde will likely still contain it within the matrix. This is why injection pellets must be vacuum aged. The plain and simple of it is....while I am sure you have a scientific background, and are probably a decent dentist you are not an FDA licensed medical manufacturer, the expense to become one, and the required annual expenses is hard to justify unless you dont want to be a dentist anymore and want to be a manufacturer. ADA approved materials are only approved for use when used in accordance to the manufacturers instructions....so even if you skirt the FDA your still in troubled waters. As I said before, if the companies I have mentioned products do not meet your needs....contact them and contract a batch to your specifications. Do you ever have a client who has been playing dentist at home....cleaning their own teeth with metal pics...etc....Do you not believe that there is a call for relying on properly trained professionals within their specific field? Thanks for confirming....In truth I already knew but thought the comment would benefit others understanding of what you are doing. As I have mentioned in the past the use of thermoplastic acrylic is still pretty uncommon and few technicians are well versed in its nuances. Institutions reject radical ideas, Radical ideas that survive eventually grow into....Institutions that reject radical ideas. Early adopters of any technology or technique are oft faced with the dichotomy of trying to teach what they are doing, so others understand, while they themselves are still struggling to. There are serious benefits to thermoplastic systems...but unfortunately at this time, there arent a great number of options in providers...yet. [/QUOTE]
