Keystone Ind. will showcase "Versacryl", a denture liner that softens at body temperature & can be processed chairside by dentist or tech and re-adjusted by patient, at Dental Lab Show Chicago 2-23-08
United States of America (Press Release) January 9, 2008 --
This unique product has been developed to create thermo-adjustable relines. Imagine having the luxury to simply heat a denture and re-adjust the fit in seconds and if it’s not satisfactory the procedure can be repeated anytime by the dentist, the technician or even the patient themselves.
The Versacryl Reline is not a regular “soft reline” material. It is a heat sensitive liner that softens in warm water between 120F-205F. At body temperature the Versacryl has an extremely comfortable cushiony effect that yields to pressure and actually creates better suction than conventional soft liners. When heated the Versacryl reline becomes very soft and adapts to soft tissues and teeth over and over again. (At room temperature the Versacryl reline material will feel relatively hard to the touch).
VERSACRYL's success is based on four major qualities of the product:
1. The rigidity of VERSACRYL is controllable by varying the proportions of the Softener and Hardener, allowing an infinite range of consistencies: from very soft while heated, to as hard as denture base;
2. After polymerization, VERSACRYL remains thermo-elastic allowing it to be heat-softened in water for adaptation to soft tissues and teeth, over and over again;
3. VERSACRYL's unique memory, makes it automatically return to its original shape while heated, and;
4. VERSACRYL will chemically bond to itself and to any other acrylic product, both heat-cure or self-cur
To re-fit a VERSACRYL reline the patient (or practitioner) places the denture in shallow hot water at approx. 195 Fahrenheit (90 degrees Celsius), for 1 minute. Then, quickly dries off the excess water and inserts, making sure the bite is correct. Clench hard for 5 seconds, then keep gentle pressure for at least 20 seconds until cooled to body temperature.
Versacryl is manufactured by Keystone Industries in the united States and sold through Dental Dealers everywhere.
Versacryl Thermal Softening Relines are just one of the many laboratory applications of this Multi-Purpose Thermo-Elastic Acrylic. Please see WWW.Versacryl.net for many more applications.
