Abstract

For anyone desiring to cast anatomical models, a simplified technique for external casting has been developed using dental impression materials readily available in dental supply houses. These impressions yield life-like permanent models retaining topographical features of normal as well as pathological skin and nails.

Duplication of anterior provisional fixed partial dentures for the final restoration.

Using the provisional restoration as a testing ground to increase the predictability of a final restoration is well understood. With the resolution of issues through a well-developed provisional restoration comes the challenge of duplicating its contours in the final prosthesis. A method is described using elastomer impression putty and a molten wax technique by which the contours of a provisional anterior fixed partial denture can be duplicated. The described method is particularly useful when the replication of a specific irregular tooth arrangement is mandated.

Light-cured resin for post patterns.

A method of using light-cured acrylic resin as an alternative to the use of chemically-cured acrylic resins with elastomeric impressions for direct post patterns is presented. The GC Unifast LC acrylic resin is a powder/liquid type resin cured by exposure to visible light. The polymerization process has four stages before final curing: slurry, stringy, dough-like (plastic), and rubber-like (elastic). Advantages over current direct and indirect procedures include ease of manipulation of the material and no change in laboratory handling procedures. While in the dough-like state, the material can be contoured. In the rubber-like state, it is flexible to disengage from minor undercut areas.
