The SR-Ivocap injection technique offers patients and dentists decisive advantages over the packing/pressing technique.
For the patient, SR-Ivocap provides sturdy dentures that fit, restoring proper suction with no bothersome pressure points or requiring numerous adjustments by the dentist.
For the dentist, there is no increase in vertical dimension - practically eliminating reocclusion and grinding. This saves time and results in greater certainty for successful prosthesis.
SR-Ivocap Injection Processing System
THE SYSTEM. . .
The system begins with predosed resin in capsules. This assures clean, perfect composition - no possibility of contamination and error-free mixing dosage monomer and polymer. Mixing of the pre-measured monomer and polymer is done in the patented Cap Vibrator - producing a fully homogenous mix of the materials.
Injection of the SR-Ivocap denture material into the flask is done under 6 bar pressure and is maintained during subsequent polymerization.
Controlled heat/pressure polymerization... The Ivocap unit under pressure is then placed in boiling water. The design of the flask plus the thermal insulator, enables controlled polymerization from bottom to top. Polymerization shrinkage is constantly compensated for by the continuous pressure feeding of the SR-Ivocap denture material.
Cooling... After polymerization, cooling off is done in a cold water bath. Injection and clamping pressure are retained. The SR-Ivocap denture material is still fed into the flask even during this curing process - continuing to compensate for shrinkage.
The above denture was packed with the Ivocap method using clear acrylic in the reservoir. The clear area shows how much acrylic needed to be injected to compensate for the shrinkage factor of conventional acrylic.
