[QUOTE="drm313mac, post: 91085, member: 5830"] Heating prior to injection: Yes, I agree with what you are saying, but I am only advocating heating to 60 Celsius, so will this also have the same effect? Will I lose the material by heating only to that lower temerature? Also, if I am heating prior to injection, but otherwise following manufacturer requirements, it is a non-issue. Besides, dentists always vary things somewhat. Take as an example amalgam. By law if we spill any we are required to call EPA for a cleanup, yet, do you really think any dentists do that? By law, if you break a fluorescent bulb you must call the EPA, as again it contains mercury, but have you ever done so? Thus, the variations issue is a moot point, and only becomes an issue when something goes wrong. Per thermoplastic systems, I totally agree; the fields are limited, in techs trained, in materials. Say I am successful, and order gobs of said materials. This will cause the fields to expand exponentially, as other ofices will get on board. Take as an example a primary competitor of mine. He is challenging my advertising to the state board. He does not want me to advertise that I use better quality impression materials, or anything for that matter that result in a better denture. He does not want me to advertise monomer-free dentures or relines or repairs. He uses THE cheapest acrylics, cold-cure for all procedures, Nordent and Z-Dent teeth, alginate, Type-II stone, etc. Who is correct? Do I have the right to spend the extra money and deliver a denture that fits better and last longer, and also so state? According to him I cannot educate patients on the differences in dentures. Who is correct? Say I win, he and others will lose market share, and only then will they change how they are delivering, and this will change the market. [/QUOTE]
