10 Dr. DiTolla’s Clinical Tips Dr. DiTolla’s CLINICAL TIPS PRODUCT ....... LuxaGlaze ® Light-Cured Varnish CATEGORY ...... Provisional Crown & Bridge Glaze SOURCE .......... Zenith/DMG Englewood, NJ 800-662-6383 www.zenithdental.com I had an instructor in dental school who told me not to make my temporary crowns look too good or patients will never come back for the permanent crown. Huh? First of all, if you collect all the money at the prep appointment you don’t have to worry about the patient not coming back. Does anyone really want to spend $1,000 on a temporary? How many patients really are so in love with the look of their temps that they decide, “Forget that fancy porcelain one, I’m sticking with the superior esthetics of this plastic one!” Needless to say, I strive for gorgeous temps, and LuxaGlaze is a great way to make your temps look like glazed porcelain. Paint a thin layer on, cure for 10 seconds, and admire. If your patient doesn’t come back for the permanent crown, it’s either because you give lousy injections or your breath stinks. Great looking temporaries keep patients coming back to you for more restorative dentistry.
Dr. DiTolla’s CLINICAL TIPS PRODUCT ....... CeraGlaze ® Ultimate Porcelain Polishing Set (RA/Latch) – LS-506 CATEGORY ...... Porcelain Polishing Logic Set SOURCE .......... Axis <strong>Dental</strong> Coppell, TX 800-355-5063 www.axisdental.com Nobody knows more about how to effectively smooth porcelain than your dental laboratory. Oddly enough, dentists don’t seem to consult with their laboratories when it comes to polishing ceramic materials. Most dentists think if they send a restoration back to their lab for “reglazing” that the lab will paint on the glaze and run it back up in the oven. The truth is there’s too great a risk that the restoration will fracture when this happens, and the lab is able to achieve nearly identical results with polishing wheels. We use the CeraGlaze Ultimate Porcelain Polishing Set here at the lab, and the key is that we use it in a high torque electric handpiece. Polishing ceramics outside of the mouth is an easy enough task, but it becomes more difficult when it needs to be done post-cementation. With my KaVo ELECTROtorque handpiece and the different shapes in the CeraGlaze Logic Set, there is no area in the mouth that I can’t polish to a high glazelike shine. Dr. DiTolla’s Clinical Tips11
