Though demand for removable prosthetics continues to grow, there are fewer labs and technicians equipped to address this increasing workload. This leaves many labs sacrifi cing quality and performance for processing speed, or sacrifi cing profi t for quality and performance.

It’s time for faster, more profitable processing.

That’s not the only obstacle. The use of heat-cured acrylic severely limits the number of dentures that labs can produce in a day, leading to missed opportunities for profit.

Our workflow solution for traditional dentures includes stronger, higher quality denture teeth and a faster process to deliver greater speed and profitability.

Costly remakes are commonly caused by denture breakage during the divesting stage or tooth breakage and pop-offs. Poor-quality materials and products are costing labs serious time and money.

The average lab has an internal remake percentage of 3%-4%, plus an additional external remake rate of 3%-4%. In a single year this can cost a medium size lab up to $40,000, and a large lab $120K.1

Our products and workflow deliver reliability and consistent performance you and your bottom line will appreciate.

Many dental labs rely on workflows that leave room for unpredictability and costly remakes. But that’s far from the only concern. Breakage, color instability, and inconsistent tooth shades all create uncertainty.

Each tooth successfully bonding to its denture base is one of the top five quality concerns for labs.2

WAX-UP + TOOTH SELECTION

Dentsply Sirona Set-Up Wax offers

strong adhesion, fi rmly securing

teeth in place during shipping and

at try-in. The wax carves easily and

does not allow the transfer of heat

from the spatula to the adjacent

teeth, for easy placement.

Portrait® IPN® delivers more mould

options to support natural patient

aesthetics than any other brand,

with seven anatomical facial forms,

42 maxillary anterior mould forms,

20 mandibular anterior mould forms,

27 maxillary/mandibular posterior

occlusal options, and 27 shade

options.

60% of patients would pay more

for natural aesthetic dentures.3 That

means labs offering premium, highly

aesthetic restorations with Portrait®

IPN® can achieve higher margins.

INVEST/BOIL OUT

Flasking of traditional stone or

plaster takes time and is messy.

Polyfl ex® is different. It fl ows into the

fl ask, quickly investing the wax-up.

PROCESSING

Lucitone® HIPA cures in just 30

minutes compared to two to nine

hours for heat-cured acrylics. Its high

strength means a reduced chance

of breakage.

Compared to heat cure, Lucitone®

HIPA can save you 21% of hands-on

working time per denture without

sacrifi cing strength, color stability or

fi t.

Predictable performance means success for your lab.

DIVEST

Lucitone® HIPA’s increased

durability reduces the potential

for fractures in the lab or by

the patient. And an accurate

fit to model enables consistent

production of well-fitting dentures.

Portrait® IPN® and Lucitone® HIPA

have superb bond strength when

combined.

Traditional stone or plaster

investment materials stick to

acrylic denture base and prosthetic

teeth, making divesting time-

consuming and risky. Polyflex® is

different. It simply peels off the

appliance far more easily than

stone or plaster, minimizing time

and breakage from chiseling.

Polyflex® can be re-melted and re-

used, saving you money.

FINISHING

Portrait® IPN’s® highly cross-linked

chemical design provides a balance

between wear resistance, bond

strength, wear against

natural teeth, and natural

patient aesthetics. It has

five distinct shade zones,

available in 27 shade

options, delivering superior

tooth shading consistency.

Proven performance, over

400,000,000 IPN teeth

produced,

Lucitone® HIPA finishes to a

high shine, just like traditional

compression packed acrylics.

Its advanced color stability

formulation ensures that

dentures maintain their color,

reducing costly remakes.

With Lucitone® Intensive Colors,

you can add an extra level of

premiumization by individually

characterizing the acrylic to

match the patient’s gingiva.
