Section 13 ~ myerson VisiClear
or myerson DuraFlex flexible clasps
to metal framework
Myerson
VisiClear
and myerson
DuraFlex
have been specially designed
for creating strong yet flexible clasps using the myerson
HotShotElite
handheld clasp injector. The following is the procedure for creating
VisiClear
clear clasps or
DuraFlex
tissue-coloured clasps onto a
metal framework.
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. Create the clasp using 12 gauge sprue wax. Place the wax
down at the gingival. Using a hot spatula, seal the sprue wax
to the model and extend the wax down onto the tissue.
This will give the clasp stability. Once you are done waxing,
make surethe clasps are 2mm by 2mm. Wax connection to
framework incorporating two or three squares of meshwork.
3. Mark the model where the tips of the clasps are located using
a marker. Mark a line on the front of the model and on the
palate or tongue side. These lines will help once the putty is
on the model, later you will have an idea where the tips of the
clasps are.
