section 10 ~ adding a myerson
DurAcetal Clasp to an existing
removable partial denture
The following procedure outlines the steps necessary to create
DurAcetal
clasps onto an existing removable partial denture.
1. Using CDM brand Thermoplastic Model Separator paint the
area on the model where the clasp will touch. Be sure to wear
eye protection and use proper air ventilation. Avoid skin contact.
After the separator dries, place the partial on the model.
2. Mark where the clasp will connect to the partial. Using a #8
round bur (2mm) drill into the partial and exit the partial on
the lingual side. A counter angle will help the clasp lock into
the partial.
3. Wax the clasp and create the putty matrix as previously
described in section 9.
.
Next, follow steps 4 thru 18 from Section 9
for injecting a myerson DurAcetal Clasp.
