[QUOTE="JMN, post: 254323, member: 8469"] In most states impressions and prosthesis are to be sanitized by both the office and the lab, leaving and arriving. Additionally, I dislike assumptions, and to that end, always disinfect. They won't tell you if the Pt has a recorded history of a transmittable disease, in most cases. Nor will you know in advance you have a cold while contagious and asymptomatic. Also, some offices won't/don't either assuming we do it... Always use the material as the directions/IFU (Instructions For Use) indicate. Store at the temperature indicated, mix at the ratio indicated, for the time indicated, cure at the temp indicated, under the pressure indicated, for at least the duration indicated. My process steps: Cure in at least 64 oz of water, at absolute minimum. Generally more. Leave it in the water until I need the pot or need the workpiece. Inspect Grind/polish Clean with Dawn dish soap - it's an oil base, so it cuts things without great amounts. Peasize on a toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly under running water, not a dip and swish. Q/C (issues loop back to the beginning) Bill Cavicide treatment on both/all sides. Rinse thoroughly under running water, not a dip and swish. Put into Glad quart size zip-seal bag Spray mouthwash into bag 2x on each side. Zip Bag-n-tag It stays in the zippy bag mouthwash environment until the office removes it. This is not anywhere close to much mouthwash, but it makes a difference. Always happy to help. What material are you using? I'm insistent on this as Astron Clear Splint has residual odor as a known issue. [edit] sorry orthoace, I saw you put it up there and I missed it [/QUOTE]
