DIRECTIONS FOR USE
ProTech PLUS® SELF CURING HARD RELINE & REPAIR ACRYLIC is an unique product
having features not found in ordinary self curing repair acrylics. It cures on the bench without
porosity in just 2 to 3 minutes at normal room temperature. (Setting time can be
slowed by chilling the monomer before use). Since it does not slump, teeth
placed in the material will not move. High density and formidable strength make this
product ideal for all of your hard relines and acrylic repairs.
Dentures repaired with ProTech PLUS® are permanently repaired . . . not through
adhesion, but by fusion. A repair made with ProTech PLUS® will never discolor,
and the material is guaranteed against premature polymerization.
ProTech PLUS® is available in the shades of "199," Light Characterized,
and Light Reddish Pink. The material is cross linked for strength, and will render
uniformly successful results following these directions:
SQUEEZE BOTTLE METHOD
Squeeze the powder into the area to be repaired. Using an eye dropper, drip sufficient
liquid onto the powder to wet it thoroughly. Allow the mix to set for 2 to 3 minutes. The
repair is now completely hardened and ready for finishing and polishing in the usual
manner.
FLASK PACK METHOD
Prepare denture and invest the case in the usual way. Remove the wax with clean boiling
water to which some detergent has been added. Apply a thin coat of PROTECH™ SEPARATING
MEDIUM. Paint indicated areas with ProTech PLUS® liquid. Pack ProTech
PLUS® into a slightly warmed flask (90°F to 100°F). Cover
with wet cellophane and compress in a bench press. Use moist cellophane when trial
packing. ProTech PLUS® will cure in approximately 2 to 3 minutes at room
temperature. Trim and polish as soon as material has completely hardened using the PROTECH®
ACRYLIC POLISHING & HI-SHINE BARS.
BRUSH METHOD
Rub a small amount of petroleum jelly or mineral oil on the model. Seat the denture
onto the model. Place a small amount of ProTech PLUS® powder in a small, clean jar or
dappen dish and a small amount of ProTech PLUS® liquid in another dish. Use as little
powder and liquid as possible for any excess material must be discarded.
Paint repair area with ProTech PLUS® liquid. Dip the brush into the liquid, then into
the powder, picking up a bead of powder. Place the bead quickly onto the repair area.
Repeat this operation. At all times, be sure the material that has been previously
deposited possesses a very high sheen. Over-pack slightly. It is important that the area
continues to have a high gloss! Should any spot appear dry, moisten it with pure monomer.
When the repair has been completed with a slight excess, allow the gloss to disappear.
While still plastic, cover the repair with a drop of glycerin to prevent evaporation of
the free monomer and to eliminate porosity of the surface. Allow to set for approximately
5 minutes. Finish and polish as usual using the PROTECH®
ACRYLIC POLISH & HI-SHINE BARS.
After each use, the brush should be thoroughly cleaned by immersing the bristle portion
into pure monomer, which has been put aside for brush cleaning only. Straighten out brush
by drawing bristle end through fingers or clean towel.
POUR METHOD
Prepare area to be repaired by damming off the area with wax. Prepare mixture to the
consistency of thin pea soup. Pour the mixture into the area. (Use a stainless steel
spatula, if necessary). After the cavity has been filled with the mix, place the repair on
the bench. The curing cycle can be hastened by immersing the denture into a warm (100 °F to 120°F) water bath for a few minutes. The water bath will seal off the repair
hermetically, eliminating the evaporation of free monomer and preventing surface porosity.
Care should be taken to be sure that the mixture is of a consistency at which it will flow
freely.
DROP METHOD
Rub a small amount of petroleum jelly or mineral oil onto the model. Pour the powder
from the dispenser bottle into the area to be repaired. Take the dropper and drip
sufficient liquid on powder to wet thoroughly.
CHAIRSIDE METHOD : PART 1 : MIXING
This technique uses finger pressure only. Prepare denture to assure sufficient space
for ProTech PLUS® to flow into the entire repair area. Just before packing, paint all
margins with ProTech PLUS® liquid to insure proper chemical union. Make a soft mix of
ProTech PLUS®. When no longer sticky, pack this dough to excess. Cover with moist
cellophane.
CHAIRSIDE METHOD : PART 2 : FABRICATION
Insert denture in same manner as taking an impression. Have patient close to biting
position lightly; allow to remain in mouth for about ˝ minute. Remove denture (take off
the wet cellophane) and trim excess material. Have patient rinse mouth with cold water.
Reinsert denture into mouth and have patient bite down in normal position, moving lips and
cheeks to obtain correct muscle trim. After 3-5 minutes, remove denture and allow it to
bench cure, which requires a few additional minutes.
FINISHING
ProTech PLUS® can be polished as any other acrylic. Finish with sandpaper cones or
sandpaper discs, using plenty of pumice. High shine is obtained with a dry rag wheel at
low speed and the PROTECH® ACRYLIC POLISHING & HI-SHINE BARPROTECH®
ACRYLIC POLISHING & HI-SHINE BAR . Use low speed motor to avoid over heating. If
the material becomes too warm, it will tend to gum.
ATTENTION
ALL MIXING PROPORTIONS BETWEEN POWDER AND LIQUID VARY ACCORDING TO
THE DIFFERENT METHODS AS REQUIRED! DUE TO THE HIGH DENSITY OF THE MATERIAL, PRESSURE
POTTING DURING POLYMERIZATION IS NOT NECESSARY. HOWEVER, PRESSURE POTTING WILL RESULT IN
THE ELIMINATION OF ANY EXCESS MONOMER!
PATIENT CARE
The patient should care for their prosthetic with the same degree of diligence as
required for natural dentition. We strongly recommend that the prosthetic be cleaned with PROTECH®
PROSTHETIC CLEANER. The use of this product will insure a clean prosthesis
without the damaging effects experienced with other denture cleaners.
