Removable Laboratories
• Fixed laboratories hate
to work with acrylic.
• Dentists hate to work
with acrylic.
• Dental assistants hate
to work with acrylic.
• Removable technicians
love acrylic.

6. Planning Tool for implant placement

7. Single Gradient
using clear acrylic

8. Dual Gradient style for placing implants
used for bar retained denture.

9. Single or Multiple Tooth Guides

10. Single or Multiple Tooth Guides

11. CT Scanning

12. Radiographic Stents used with CT Scan
discern angle of placement in relation
to restoration to bone.

13. Aids in selection of fixture style based
on bone shape, bone availabilty and
restoration position placement.

14. Provides Closer approximation to
placement of implant fixture at bone
height.

15. Evaluate Bone Quality

16. Radiographic Stent/ Guide Fabrication

17. Positioning

18. Approximate restoration position

19. Emergence Profile
• Waxed in ridge contact.
• Follow contour of
emergence.

20. Duplication
• If using hydrocolloid, wax
tooth positions in sticky wax
or hard wax to avoid change
in position.
• Duplication silicone works
better.

21. Duplication complete

22. Pontic fabrication using laboratory
putty

23. PVS Putty

24. Injection Holes

25. Injection Holes

27. Mix 30% Scanocryl with self cure
monomer.

28. Load monoject syringe with Scanocryl

29. Inject Scanocryl into mold while on
model until scanocryl extrudes from
adjacent hole

30. Cure on model using convention self
cure method.

31. • Trim and fit to ridge to
evaluate the placement.
• Pontics should fit on
ridge and rest in place.

32. Create occlusal /incisal retention
• Thin out duplicate
model to allow for good
vacuum forming.
• Pro-form .120 or .100
splint material.
(P.E.Thalate) acrylic
needs to stick to it.

33. Trim index and check fit

34. Affix
• Affix pontics to index
with either light cure
clear, cyanoacrylate, or
some clear self cure. Do
not use Scanocryl or
any radiopaque
product.

38. Duplicate approved diagnostic
arrangement in PVS lab putty

39. • For dual gradiant guides • For single gradiant
fill tooth intaglios with guides fill tooth
30% Scanocryl and fill intaglios with 30%
the base with 10% Scanocryl and base with
clear self curing acrylic.

40. Dual Single
