How thick can the materials be fabricated? How thin?
A. In clinical situations requiring thick devices, the case should be fabricated by building up the baseplate thickness rather than adding Set-up Resin. In these instances, Eclipse baseplate thickness should be limited to 8 mm when using a single 10 minute cure. In clinical situations requiring even more buildup of BPR, i.e., greater than 8 mm of thickness, the baseplate should be fabricated in two steps requiring two 10 minute cures. The limit of 8mm for baseplate is due to the fact that the resin is visible light cured and light penetration decreases as the thickness of the device increases. Please call Trubyte Technical Services for more details. The minimum Eclipse device thickness should be equal to what is used for pour dentures and/or HyPro dentures when clinical cases require small thickness dimension. This will be effective since Eclipse mechanical properties exceed those of pour acrylics and conventional heat cure acrylics. Bear in mind that thinner appliances, whether they a
