Dental Lab Materials:
If we follow the instructions, there will be no air bubbles in all of our three types of powders; the 3mm wall thickness of the denture base tested in our lab did not show any problems.
All the three types (traditional, fast, self-curing) are fine if we follow the instructions.
In the case of heating up to 100℃ for 30 minutes first, then boiling for 30 minutes is possible, that is to say, the overall spending time is 60 minutes.
Yes, it is acceptable.
Yes. The curing effect is not guaranteed if not combined with light curing unit or machine. And we recommend customers to use our light curing unit which can ensure the curing effect for 3-min curing.
One flat spoon of base plus one flat spoon of catalyst mixed well together can duplicate one mandible model and one full spoon of base plus one full spoon of catalyst mixed well together can duplicate one maxillary model.
The main difference lies in hardness and the polishing performance. The soft type is Shore A 40 and the hard type is Shore A 70. The hard type is much easier to polish than soft type, which may conform to use habits of some technicians. Both of these two types are recommended to fabricate artificial gum in implant restoration.
There are many factors that may affect the matching effect, like viewer, light, and background, etc. We recommend customers to compare by shade machine or human under suitable light: sunshine natural light, inside room beside the window, face north, 10am or 14:00. Under this condition, the contrasting result is very precise and we ensure that the difference will be △E≤1.0 which is acceptable.
Dental Impression Materials:
Yes. In addition to the traditional liquidity classification. Putty, Heavy Body, Light Body, Bite Registration all have regular and quick-setting versions. Multiple options make it as convenient as possible for the dentist.
Yes. The excellent hydrophilicity of PERFIT Impression products allows the material to flow optimally into the subgingival areas, resulting in precise impression results.
Yes. Especially PERFIT Heavy Body because the material achieves a very high final hardness thus facilitating optimal fixation of the impression posts and preventing torsions. It can be used with Light Body, relying on its excellent fluidity and hydrophilicity, it can well surround the planting pile and achieve precise impression.
No. PERFIT Regular Body is an elastic impression product specially launched by HUGE. It is transparent and colorless. Unlike traditional impression products, it mainly acts as a mold, simplifies the operation process, solves various defects, and has excellent aesthetic effects.
Its main applications are: 1) Anterior aesthetic restoration 2) Indirect method of orthodontic brace bonding 3) Occlusal stamp for composite restorations
Up to 4 weeks.
Remember to keep the mixing tip immersed in the material while dispensing. That goes for dispensing the Light Body onto the tooth or dispensing heavy body into the tray.
Glass Ionomer Cement:
Powder: silica-alumina-fluorine glass powder, polycarboxylate powder, pigment；Liquid: Polycarboxylic acid aqueous solution
Luting II is a glass ionomer cement specially launched by HUGE. Depending on the ratio of powder to liquid used, it can be used for bonding and filling. Works great for both purposes.
No. To ensure the effect of use, please strictly follow the instructions for use. Use with original product powder and liquid.
1. It can release fluoride ions to prevent the occurrence of secondary caries. 2. The operation is simpler and easier to clean. 3. Good biocompatibility with teeth and excellent edge adhesion. 4. Since there is no need for acid etching treatment, there is basically no risk of postoperative sensitivity, and it is a safe repair method. 5. With ideal film thickness and particles, easy to adjust. It ensures the precise positioning of the restoration in the mouth
Possible reason one is that there is too little powder and too much liquid. It is recommended to follow the instructions, or the doctor can adjust it according to the environment, temperature, and personal usage habits. Possible reason 2: The powder is damp. It is recommended to tighten the cap tightly after use and store in a dry place.
Possible reason 1, there is leakage of pulp and near the pulp (<1mm). It is recommended to use calcium hydroxide cement or zinc oxide clove oil cement to protect the marrow before repairing. Possible reason 2: Glass ionomers will absorb a certain amount of water when they are solidified. If the teeth are dried or blown dry, it may cause soreness. It is recommended that the tooth should be properly moistened (without water drops) before the crown is glued to compensate for the moisture absorbed by the glass ionomer during the curing reaction.
PMMA Blocks:
Huge PMMA blocks are with good compactness, ensuring outstanding ability to resist stain. With appropriate polishing treatment, the restoration would retain high gloss even after prolonged utilization. If the restoration is still stained or discolored, you could remove the stained areas by cleaning and polishing the surface. You have to replace the stained restorations when the above operations are not permitted.
It depends on the applications. If you’d like to mill full dentures or full-arch implant prostheses, the 25mm or thicker blocks are more recommended. For conventional crowns or bridges restorations, you could choose the thickness according to the size of restorations.
The design of Huge Multilayer PMMA blocks are strictly follows the principle “ Seamless Gradient from cervical to incisal “, ensuring the restorations to own outstanding gradient appearance. No matter which thickness the prostheses milled from, they could achieve the excellent beauty of natural teeth.
The lifetime of dentures is related to the oral conditions, maintenance habits and other factors. Generally speaking, the lifetime of digital dentures is not much different compared to traditional dentures.
The treatment is the same as conventional dentures.
Zirconia Blocks:
There are no more than 3 missing teeth, preferably 2.
HS can do a half-mouth long bridge with 14 teeth.
The number of restorations made on a piece of block is related to the size of the restoration and the ability of typesetting. Unsure how many can be made, usually about 15.
Possible reason analysis
a problem with the sintering process or the sintering furnace. Insufficient crystallization time will cause problems such as under-cooking and whitening of zirconia (the main crystallization temperature is between 1000-1450, the heating speed is slow, and at least 120 minutes of heat preservation is required). If the sintering temperature is too high, the dyeing effect will become lighter. First confirm whether the sintering program used by the customer is the standard sintering curve provided by us, and then confirm whether the customer’s sintering furnace has problems such as unstable temperature field or uncleaned for a long time. If necessary, check the temperature field, or suggest that the customer replace the sintering furnace for sintering .
The teeth are not dried during the dyeing process, resulting in uneven local staining, and the residual water in the teeth may cause a large difference in local temperature of the teeth, resulting in insufficient local crystallization or cracks.
Due to the abnormality of the bur or engraving machine, cracks in the restoration were not found during the cutting process or re-grinding process, resulting in fracture after sintering.
Not dried after dyeing, resulting in uneven local temperature during the sintering process, cracks or breaks
There is a problem with the sintering process, the heating speed is too fast or the cooling speed is too fast, causing cracks or fractures
The customer's tool has been used for too long, the customer's engraving machine has been uncalibrated for a long time, or the spindle has been deviated, and the restoration design has problems
Yes. Since the sintering machine used by individual customers cannot complete the 6-step sintering setting, we can modify it to 4 steps according to the guidance of the project department. But it is necessary to control the sintering temperature and time.
Invisible Orthodonic Aligner:
VinciSmile invisible aligners are made of a special medical grade thermoplastic polymer material composed of PET-G. All aligners are supported with American FDA and European CE certifications. They are taste free, non-toxic and harmless to humans and animals.
VinciSmile clear aligner is suitable for patients between the ages of 3-5 with an underbite and suitable for patients with mixed dentition between the ages 6-12 years. Designed to intervene and correct, VinciSmile clear aligner for kids is clinically designed to prevent the further deterioration of malocclusion or to reduce the difficulty of correction in the future.
It depends on the patients and the treatment required. Generally, it takes between 12-24 months.
Compared with the traditional fixed appliance, VinciSmile clear aligner is more suitable for patients with periodontal disease as the aligner sits above the gum line and eliminates the chance of trapping plaque over the gums. It is necessary to ensure the stability of any periodontal condition at the earliest stage possible.
Following your treatment plan, you need to ensure you wear your retainer all day every day for 6 months (remove only when eating and brushing teeth). It is then recommended that the retainer is worn at night 7-12 months post treatment (whilst sleeping). If you have been diagnosed with periodontal disease, it is strongly recommended to wear a retainer every day for life.
Most people experience tooth soreness for a few days when starting each new stage. This is totally normal and indicates that the aligners are exerting orthodontic force on your teeth. This soreness will gradually disappear in the following days. If it doesn't, please immediately contact your doctor.
Dental Restorative Materials:
No. HUGEBOND Universal is a single bottle system, which is light-cured only and formulated to work with all light-cured, self-cured, and dual-cured materials.
All restoration parts need to be prepared following the instructions from laboratory or manufacturer. Zirconia, metal and composite restorations should be primed with HUGEBOND Adhesive. For glass ceramics, the ceramic primer is needed instead of HUGEBOND Adhesive.
Yes, the tooth surface to be restored should be acid-etched and rinsed, and the etching time should be strictly controlled and should not be too short or too long.
Yes, when used as hand-mixing type, the whole mixing time should be within 2mins.
To remove the excess cement, light cure the margins for 2-3 seconds, then remove excess cement prior to final curing easily.
Dual Cure Resin Cement is intended to use with the dental adhesive. HUGEBOND Adhesive is compatible with self-cured & dual-cured cements.
Yes, however, we recommend to use TopCEM Veneer cement for veneers cementation. It is light-cured only which allows longer working time and shorter curing time, also efficiently increases color stability and shelf life.
Yes. We should roughen the surface of the core build-up material, clean up and dry it totally with alcohol, apply the HUGEBOND dental adhesive on the surface.
a. Reduce unnecessary dentin removal, maximize the preservation of the target restoration space (TRS) while obtaining the target restoration space.
b. Tight margins are needed for restorations fabrication, whether temporary or permanent, especially in teeth with pulp.
c. It is recommended that sensitive patients use desensitizing toothpaste for a period of time after tooth preparation and restoration bonding.
