4. Pattern Resin™ LS
Pattern Resin™ LS is a general-purpose acrylic resin used to create patterns for fabricating copings, post and core build-ups, lingual and palatal bars, implant attachments, adhesion bridges, clasps, telescoping crowns, and specific pre-soldering techniques. This material is designed to provide a near-perfect fit for dental procedures requiring complex restorations. It sets quickly with minimal volume loss, allowing direct and indirect patterning. It does not leave any residue when it burns out.
- Formulated to provide a perfect fit
- Ideal for dentists and laboratories who perform complex restorations
- Sets quickly with minimal shrinkage
- Allows both direct and indirect pattern making
- Leaves no residue after burnout
5. Aron Alpha Aerosol Accelerator
Aron Alpha Aerosol Accelerator should be used when a high-speed cure of Aron Alpha cyanoacrylate (instant) adhesives is required. This product facilitates extremely fast cure and bond times for instant adhesives. Post-application on cyanoacrylate adhesives is mainly facilitated to ensure fast fixturing.
This product can create a build-up or mound of material to fill in gaps on a porous surface. The material is either pre-or post applied to the bond, allowing for optimal bonding. An acetone-based accelerator/setter is used to accelerate and set the material. It has a viscosity of 0.4 cps and a 1-hour on-part life. It also has a 30-second dry time and is acetone based.
- It can be utilized to “build” or “mound” a surface to fill gaps
- Allows for improved bonding on porous surfaces
- Can be either pre- or post-applied to the bond
- Liquid accelerator/setter
- 0.4 cps viscosity
- Acetone base
- 1-hour on-part life
- 30-second dry time
6. DuraLay Inlay Resin – Reliance Dental Manufacturing Co
DuraLay Inlay Resin provides a strong, dependable pattern that won’t shrink, sag, crack, or change temperature when trimmed, handled, or invested. It burns out at the same temperature as wax, leaving no residue. The setting takes about five minutes.
7. Permabond Adhesive
Permabond Adhesive is an ethyl cyanoacrylate contact cement that bonds to stone or plastic. It bonds to stone or plastic.
- Fast – sets in 20 seconds
- Regular – sets in 40 seconds
8. Aron Alpha® Aerosol Accelerator
Aron Alpha® Aerosol Accelerator can be employed to accelerate the curing of Aron Alpha cyanoacrylate (instant) adhesives, which require a more rapid cure speed. This product enables extremely fast curing and bonding times for instant adhesives. It is especially suitable for post-application on cyanoacrylate adhesives for rapid fixturing.
The filler material can be used to build up a surface to fill in gaps if desired. This material can be applied before or after the bonding application to improve adhesion on porous surfaces. The material is clear/amber in color, has a 0.4 cps viscosity, and is acetone-based. It dries in 30 seconds after being applied onto the bond.
- It can be utilized to “build” or “mound” a surface to fill gaps
- Allows for improved bonding on porous surfaces
- Can be either pre- or post-applied to the bond
- Clear/amber color
- 0.4 cps viscosity
- Acetone base
- 1-hour on-part life
- 30-second dry time
9. MDS Adhesive QX-4
MDS Adhesive QX-4 Adhesive is a high-quality, fast-bonding cyanoacrylate that bonds virtually any material to itself or other materials. QX-4 is the only cyanoacrylate adhesive used to bind dry models together. The only cyanoacrylate that bonds dry models together is batch tested and coded for precision and consistency. The non-clog Teflon dispenser is ideal for applying precision adhesion. Even flow minimizes clogging and ensures consistent viscosity. The product’s shelf life is extended because it does not need to be refrigerated.
- Guarantees consistent viscosity and setting time
- Batch tested and date coded.
- The precision non-clog Teflon dispenser makes it easy to apply
- Low viscosity spreads evenly
- Produces thin, even coating for die surface hardener
- Flows easily into hard-to-reach or tight areas
- Extended shelf life: unopened – up to 3 years refrigerated; opened – up to 6 months not refrigerated
10. Pinpro Cyanoacrylate Adhesive
Pinpro Adhesive is a special formulation of cyanoacrylate adhesive for dowel pinning. It adheres to both oily and dry surfaces.
