Authentic pressing technique

The pressing technique has been a gold standard in the field for years and remains so to this day. However, this traditional technique still presents processing problems when it comes to manufacturing both complete and partial dentures. At Vertex-Dental, we see this course as a place to exchange ideas and share knowledge, potentially leading to new insights or more efficient methods.

Course topics

The course covers the following steps: fixating the wax model on the plaster model, protecting the tooth crown with Vertex Putty, separation, various moulding methods, pressing with Vertex Rapid Simplified, polymerisation, finishing and polishing. Individual oral pigmentation with Vertex Acrylic Stain is also covered during the course. The reason we do things a certain way and alternative methods are clearly explained for each step. All known issues and solutions that may present themselves will be addressed.

Purpose

To press a denture with a predictable end result and identify and eliminate any problems that may arise in the future.

Meant for

This course is designed for the denture department, the responsible dental technicians and all denturists.
