Introduction
Contemporary materials, equipment and techniques
enable dental technicians to manufacture high precision,
aesthetic restorations – and naturally they prefer
procedures, which are clear, easy to learn and safe to
apply. In this context, accessory materials, which may at
first glance appear unimportant, have in fact become
absolutely indispensable.
Dental prostheses are as individual as the patients. It
takes real teamwork to achieve perfect technical results
and genuine satisfaction for patients. An exact transfer of
intraoral situations to the laboratory using precise and
reproducible laboratory methods makes the teamoriented interaction of dentists and dental technicians
easier. ”Little helpers”, such as a universal high precision
modelling resin are invaluable for these procedures.
PATTERN RESIN LS
GC Pattern Resin LS
Low Shrinkage Modelling Resin
A modelling resin with unique properties
In more than 15 years of service to the dental and dental
technician professions Pattern Resin LS Low Shrinkage
modelling resin has proven a safe, versatile and easy to
handle material. Pattern Resin LS was specially developed
for the brush technique. Its unique handling properties
make it suitable for as different indications as attachment,
crown and bridge, implant and electroforming techniques.
Pattern Resin LS is further well established and proven
for a number of detail applications – such as resin dies,
fixation prior to soldering or milling, or core build-ups.
Our aim is to enable you to take full advantage of this
unique material. The present manual lists some of the
numerous chairside and laboratory indications and
provides you with application examples from various
fields of dental technology.
