only 1.2mm thick light cured base plates
product details
uses:
- full and partial denture bite registration
- denture set up and try in
- temporary partials (flippers)
advantages:
- only 1.2mm thick, so hardly any need to adjust and/or shorten denture teeth to match the given vertical dimension during the set-up
- same strength as conventional double the thickness impression tray materials
- extremely precise – to an extent that the base plate with the set-up teeth “adheres” to the palate during the try-in (suction effect)
- does not require a second curing cycle off the model upside down
- cures in most conventional light curing units (do not use strobe lights!)
working procedure:
- Apply separator to the model (preferably Metatouch IM200)
- Adapt the base plate to the model with your fingers and/or instrument
- For an even more precise fit use the Metavac suction device (TZ-KIT). This will ensure maximum precision
- Cure for 6 minutes – no second curing cycle off the model needed
- Remove base plate and finish it
technical tips:
Use a bit of Metatouch (IM200) finger and instrument separator on your fingertips to smoothen the primobase surface after adaptation.
For the most precise fit use the Metavac vacuum suction device (TZ-KIT). This will ensure that the base plate is fully pressed against the model during the light curing process.
