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.

Brush Technique – Step by Step

1. Mix powder and liquid: Dispense adequate amounts of powder and liquid into the respective mixing cups.

Tip: The pipette helps to dispense the exact amount of liquid.

2. Slightly moisten the brush.

Tip: Squeeze out excess moisture by pressing the tip of the brush on the inner wall of the mixing cup. This also creates a finely pointed tip.

3. Pick up a small amount of Pattern Resin LS powder with the moist brush.

Due to the material’s thixotropic properties, a small resin bead will form on the tip of the brush.

7. Repeat the above procedure to cover the whole surface with a thin layer of Pattern Resin LS.

Tip: As fresh Pattern Resin LS adheres perfectly to already polymerized material separate small dots can easily be connected.

8. Even where high precision is required, e. g. at primary crown margins, Pattern Resin LS exhibits perfect flow and fit.

9. After polymerization of Pattern Resin LS carefully remove the pattern to check the internal surface.

Tip: Small retentions help to remove the pattern from the primary crown.

4. The resin bead remains stable on top of the brush and is ready e. g. for modelling of secondary crown patterns.

5. Deposit the resin bead on the metal surface of a primary crown. Working time: 2-3 min Setting time: 4 min

Tip: No separating agent is needed on smooth metal surfaces.

6. Tip: To clean in between times - dip the brush into Pattern Resin LS liquid and dry with a tissue.

10. The inside of the pattern shows the same glossy surface as the primary crown.

11. Place the pattern back on the primary crown and make fine adjustments with a suitable grinding instrument (e. g. cross-cut tungsten carbide).

12. Evenly reduce the thickness of the pattern to

0.3 - 0.4 mm and check with a calliper. Also check the margins.

13. Place the pattern back on the primary crown.

14. Prepare the wax-up using an appropriate inlay wax. Check occlusion, contact area and contour as usual.

15. The wax-up is ready for connection of the sprues.

19. Heating-up is carried out according to the schedules given in the instructions for use. Cast in the usual manner.

20. Deflask in the usual way and clean the cast metal surface with glass beads.

21. Check the inner surface carefully and remove inaccuracies with an appropriate grinding instrument.

16. Connect the sprues according to the casting system and method used.

17. Position crown in the casting ring.

18. Mix and pour phosphate-bonded investment (Fujivest Super, Stellavest or Fujivest II) according to the instructions for use.

Tip: Investing Pattern Resin LS workpieces always requires a greater proportion of investment liquid than wax patterns. For detailed information refer to the respective instructions for use.

22. The inside of the secondary crown shows a homogenous, glossy finish.

23. The secondary crown fits perfectly on the primary crown.

Implant Restorations

Some examples for the use of Pattern Resin in implantology:

Case 1

1. Step-by-step build-up of an implant suprastructure with Pattern Resin LS.

2. Suprastructure with integrated horizontal screw threads. Further crown buildup will be carried out with modelling wax.

3. The high precision fit of the cast suprastructure manufactured with the aid of Pattern Resin LS is immediately evident.

3. The implant analogues have been fixed with Pattern Resin LS and cast-on titanium tubes screwed into the analogues prior to manufacture of the superstructure

4. Pattern Resin LS buildup as a preparatory step for the manufacture of the superstructure

5. Reduced Pattern Resin LS frame as a stabilizing basis for the superstructure.

Case 2

Example of a technique for passive transfer of the intra-oral situation to the working die.

Case 3

1. Maxillary transfer template after intra-oral connection of the transfer abutments with Pattern Resin LS. Implant analogues are already inserted for preparation of the working die.

2. The transfer template on the working die.

Investing and casting

Mixing ratios:

When investing Pattern Resin LS workpieces, always use a higher proportion of investment liquid than with wax patterns. For details please refer to the instructions for use of the respective phosphatebonded investments.

Modelations:

All Pattern Resin LS workpieces should be covered with a thin layer of wax to avoid deterioration of the investment surface during heating-up.

Heating-up:

In connection with larger Pattern Resin LS workpieces, heat up progressively to avoid aggressive burningout. It is recommended that the temperature is kept at 250° C for 1 hour before raising to the final burn out.

Questions

1. Should I insulate the surface of the primary component before building up Pattern Resin LS?

Insulation of the primary component is not required if Pattern Resin LS is used on a smooth, milled metal surface.

2. How can I tell that I am using the right mixing ratio of powder and liquid for the brush technique?

After dipping the wet brush into the powder, the little bead on the tip of the brush should be slightly wet and have a shiny surface.

3. Which burs are recommended for adjustments of the polymerized Pattern Resin LS surface?

For adjustments or milling use tungsten carbide burs or cross-cut instruments.

4. Can I mill the surface of Pattern Resin LS in the same manner as wax?

Dies and workpieces made of Pattern Resin LS can be shaped, contoured and milled by means of a milling machine.

5. Which steps should I observe when I use Pattern Resin LS on stone dies?

Check the stone die, stumps or cavities for undercuts, inaccuracies or rough surfaces. Block-out undercuts with an appropriate wax and seal the die surface with Die Hardener. Wet the cavity or stump surfaces with a separating agent.

and answers

6. In connection with the brush technique, can I apply Pattern Resin LS in small dots?

Pattern Resin LS can be built up in small sections or dots. Each section will polymerize separately and adhere to the other sections. After covering the complete base, Pattern Resin LS shows a homogenous surface. This technique minimizes total polymerization shrinkage.

7. How can I clean the brush?

For intermediate cleaning dip the brush into Pattern Resin LS liquid and dry with a tissue.

8. How can I remove a secondary pattern from the primary omponent in a safe and easy way?

Small opposing retention beads attached to the surface help to remove the pattern.

9. Should I treat Pattern Resin LS objects with a wetting agent before investing?

Generally, the quality of casting surfaces depends on the use of a wetting agent. However, if Pattern Resin LS is applied on smooth or polished metal surfaces without undercuts, there is no need to use a wetting agent. If there are wetting agent residues the internal surface of the cast restoration will not be smooth.
