Maarc Brown Shellac Base Plate

• Thickness: Upper / Lower Base Plate: 1.3mm, 1.7mm. 2.0mm, 2.5mm and 3.0mm (+/- 0.15mm) (Custom Thickness Catered)
• Colour: Brown

Shelf life and storage:

• Best before 24 months.
• Store below 30°C under proper storage and avoid from direct sunlight.

a) Fabrication of Trial Denture Base:

Purpose: The trial denture base is fabricated using the Shellac base plate over the final impression model to facilitate recording the occlusal relation and teeth arrangement.

Heat the Shellac Base Plate:

• Heat the Shellac base plate directly over a flame to soften its consistency, making it adaptable.

Adapt the Plate:

• Apply the softened plate onto the gypsum model with uniform pressure to maintain the trial denture thickness at 1-2mm.

Trim Excess Shellac:

• Use a hot wax knife to cut away any Shellac extending outside the model.

Mold the Borders:

• Mold the borders to maintain the flange thickness, providing extra strength to the trial denture base.

b) Fabrication of Custom Impression Trays:

Purpose: The custom impression tray is fabricated to provide an accurate recording of the secondary impression in completely edentulous patients.

Draw Tray Extension:

• Draw the desired tray extension on the plaster model.

Heat the Shellac Base Plate:

Heat the Shellac base plate over a direct flame to achieve an adaptable consistency.

Adapt the Plate:

• Apply the softened Shellac onto the plaster model, then cut away any excess plate using a hot wax knife.

Border Extension:

• Ensure the border extension is approximately 2–3 mm above the depth of the vestibule to allow space for border molding.

Attach the Handle:

• Mold and attach a handle to the custom tray using the excess Shellac material.

Additional Info

• Ready to Use: Providing convenience for immediate application in dental procedures.
• Optimum Heat Resistance: Designed to minimize overheating during use, ensuring consistent performance and preventing deformation of the plates.
• Easily Adaptable: The material softens effectively when heated, allowing for easy manipulation and precise shaping to fit individual patient needs.
• Shape Stability: Maintains its form well, preventing warping or distortion upon cooling, which is crucial for accurate fit and functionality.
• Non-Adhesive Surface: The surface does not adhere to plaster, facilitating smoother workflows and easier removal during the impression process.
• Smooth Finish: Provides a refined surface that contributes to accurate impressions and adjustments, enhancing the quality of dental work.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for use in occlusal rims and trial dentures across various prosthetic procedures, making it a flexible tool for practitioners.
• User-Friendly: Simple to handle and work with, catering to both experienced dentists and those in training for efficient usage.
• Durable Composition: Made from high-quality materials to ensure longevity and reliability, supporting multiple applications without compromising performance.
