In our fast-paced world, dental By Carsten Fischer, Germany E ven in the case of complex prosthetic reconstruc- tions, patients want their dentures to look natural in addi- tion to having the basic functions (speaking, chewing, tasting) re- turned to their stomatognathic system. Dentures should by no means have an adverse effect on the patient’s esthetic appear- ance. Esthetic soft tissue design reflects this philosophy. The IvoBase® denture base sys- tem offers an efficient method to create custom-made esthetic soft tissue reconstructions. The patients’ expectations can be ideally met with a flair for es- thetic design and a combination of three materials – IvoBase den- ture base material, SR Nexco® light-curing lab composite (cus- tomization) and ideally designed denture teeth. Discovering the World of Ceramics from Ivoclar Vivadent laboratories are confronted by many questions. They look for enhanced efficiency and cost- effectiveness; for solutions that provide reliable support in their everydaywork.Manyareunable to keep track of the continuously increasing variety of products, product systems and processes IvoBase System The IvoBase System is based on a fully automated injection and polymerization process. All the components (flasks, cap- sules, injector, etc.) are coordi- nated with each other. Chemical shrinkage of the resin is com- pensated during the polymeri- zation process due to thermal management in the flask. As a result, volumetric shrinkage is prevented by the continued sup- ply of additional material dur- ing the polymerization process to provide a denture base that demonstrates a high accuracy of fit and an excellent surface finish. Chemically, the IvoBase denture base materials fall into the category of self-curing poly- mers but offer the qualitative advantages of heat-curing poly- mers. As the self-cure process of IvoBase commences at a start- ing temperature of 40°C, ther- mal shrinkage is reduced com- that are entering the market and thus seek direction. Increasing productivity and ef- ficiency The new online platform www. worldofceramics.com provides useful tips on the issues that concern laboratory owners. For pared with that of conventional heat-curing polymers. Monomer and polymer are supplied in pre- dosed capsules to ensure an op- timal mixing ratio and to elimi- nate direct skin contact with the monomer. The IvoBase System results in denture bases that demonstrate lifelike pink esthetics and closely resemble the light-optical prop- erties of the natural gingiva. Characterizations can be easily applied to the denture bases to accommodate the specific ex- pectations of the patient. Case presentation A partially edentulous upper jaw was to be restored with a pal- ate-free denture retained with telescopic crowns. The inner (primary) zirconia copings for A blog delivers answers to questions about dental ceramics which concern dental laboratories today.
