What's everybody using for acrylics for processing, repairs, relines and flippers. Pack processing dentures, using reline jig for my relines.
I use Vitacrilic fibered #7 for denture processing and special fibered #7 self curing for repairs and relines on a jig also 1-3 tooth temporary partials.What's everybody using for acrylics for processing, repairs, relines and flippers. Pack processing dentures, using reline jig for my relines.
Lucitone is a well established(read as: old) brand presence that many people in my area use as a generic term. That's about the only nice thing I have to say about it.Heres another question, a lot of people are using diamond d instead of lucitone, pro and cons on them?

Diamond D:
polishes faster with sharper detail and 'higher shine'
Cures harder
packs easier
has better working properties during mix and pack stages
It has enough time to roll it out and get all the veining lined up for more natural look, doesn't stick to the separation sheet nearly as bad during trial pack
Finishes easier
smells up the lab less
Doesn't turn brown, in fact it has shown no color degredation at all yet on any cases I have out with it. I also make and keep test chips every six months and with every lot I receive. A set is kept wet, a set is kept dry. Dry set from 2 years ago still looks like the wet set from the latest chip make.
The cold cure and heat are an absolutly perfect and undetecable match.
Call them and ask for a sample, the people are kind and gracious. It's so good they only need to get you to use it once to keep you coming for more.
The heat cure can be microwaved or water bath cured by changing monomers, same powder.
I have no connection to them, just thought I was dreaming when I packed, devested, fi ished and polished my first case.
Lucitone, well, I try not to speak ill of the aged and infirm. I don't know if it is possible to be a regional environment issue with 199 being so poor in long term appearance here. We have exceptionally high limestone content in the water and it may exacerbate issues.
I will say that they outright lied to me when I asked if their new pourable HIPA, since they had the chance to being a completely new formulation, chemically bonded to the teeth enough that diatorics were no longer needed. They said yes. The IFU says you must make them.
If someone wants to buy it, I have a hardly opened Lucitone HIPA trial pack...
Remind me Monday and I'll put a pic up.How does the Diamond D match up to the 199 Original shadewise???
