Abstract
Abstract of Disclosure The invention provides a method of making a dental appliance by shaping a low ball tack polymerizable material. By including fluorescing agent the surfaces of dental appliances are visually identifiable.
Claims26
A method, comprising:
- providing a dental appliance having an outer surface and fluorescing agent, said fluorescing agent being visually perceptible,
- applying a bonding agent to said outer surface to form a prepared surface, and
- applying a reline material to said prepared surface.
A method, comprising:
- providing a dental appliance having an outer surface and fluorescing agent, said fluorescing agent being visually perceptible,
- said dental appliance being selected from the group consisting of:
- night guard, splint, and orthodontic retainer.
A dental appliance, comprising:
- denture base having a fluorescing agent, said dental appliance being selected from the group consisting of full denture and partial denture.
A dental appliance, comprising:
- a fluorescing agent, said dental appliance being selected from the group consisting of:
- night guard, splint, and orthodontic retainer.
A method of making a dental appliance, comprising:
- shaping a low ball tack polymerizable material to form a dental appliance, said dental appliance being selected from the group consisting of:
- full denture, partial denture, night guard, splint, and orthodontic retainer.
The method of claim 10 wherein said dental appliance being is a full denture or a partial denture.
A dental appliance, comprising:
- a substantial portion of a low ball tack polymerizable material, said dental appliance being selected from the group consisting of:
- full denture, partial denture, night guard, splint, and orthodontic retainer and trays.
The dental appliance of claim 14 wherein said dental appliance being is a full denture or a partial denture.
The dental appliance of claim 15 wherein said low ball tack polymerizable material polymerizes to form a polymeric material having a flexural modulus of at least 250,000400,000 psi and a flexural strength of at least 700012,000 psi.
