Though demand for removable prosthetics continues to grow, there are fewer labs and technicians equipped to address this increasing workload. This leaves many labs sacrifi cing quality and performance for processing speed, or sacrifi cing profi t for quality and performance.
L u c i t o n e 1 9 9 ®
For faster, heat-cure processing inject Lucitone 199® using the Success® Injection System and its microwaveable fl ask.
It’s time for faster, more profitable processing.
That’s not the only obstacle. The use of heat-cured acrylic severely limits the number of dentures that labs can produce in a day, leading to missed opportunities for profit.
Our workflow solution for traditional dentures includes stronger, higher quality denture teeth and a faster process to deliver greater speed and profitability.
Costly remakes are commonly caused by denture breakage during the divesting stage or tooth breakage and pop-offs. Poor-quality materials and products are costing labs serious time and money.
The average lab has an internal remake percentage of 3%-4%, plus an additional external remake rate of 3%-4%. In a single year this can cost a medium size lab up to $40,000, and a large lab $120K.1

Our products and workflow deliver reliability and consistent performance you and your bottom line will appreciate.
Many dental labs rely on workflows that leave room for unpredictability and costly remakes. But that’s far from the only concern. Breakage, color instability, and inconsistent tooth shades all create uncertainty.
Each tooth successfully bonding to its denture base is one of the top five quality concerns for labs.2

WAX-UP + TOOTH SELECTION
Dentsply Sirona Set-Up Wax offers
strong adhesion, fi rmly securing
teeth in place during shipping and
at try-in. The wax carves easily and
does not allow the transfer of heat
from the spatula to the adjacent
teeth, for easy placement.
Portrait® IPN® delivers more mould
options to support natural patient
aesthetics than any other brand,
with seven anatomical facial forms,
42 maxillary anterior mould forms,
20 mandibular anterior mould forms,
27 maxillary/mandibular posterior
occlusal options, and 27 shade
options.
60% of patients would pay more
for natural aesthetic dentures.3 That
means labs offering premium, highly
aesthetic restorations with Portrait®
IPN® can achieve higher margins.
INVEST/BOIL OUT
Flasking of traditional stone or
plaster takes time and is messy.
Polyfl ex® is different. It fl ows into the
fl ask, quickly investing the wax-up.
PROCESSING
Lucitone® HIPA cures in just 30
minutes compared to two to nine
hours for heat-cured acrylics. Its high
strength means a reduced chance
of breakage.
Compared to heat cure, Lucitone®
HIPA can save you 21% of hands-on
working time per denture without
sacrifi cing strength, color stability or
fi t.
Predictable performance means success for your lab.

DIVEST
Lucitone® HIPA’s increased
durability reduces the potential
for fractures in the lab or by
the patient. And an accurate
fit to model enables consistent
production of well-fitting dentures.
Portrait® IPN® and Lucitone® HIPA
have superb bond strength when
combined.
Traditional stone or plaster
investment materials stick to
acrylic denture base and prosthetic
teeth, making divesting time-
consuming and risky. Polyflex® is
different. It simply peels off the
appliance far more easily than
stone or plaster, minimizing time
and breakage from chiseling.
Polyflex® can be re-melted and re-
used, saving you money.
FINISHING
Portrait® IPN’s® highly cross-linked
chemical design provides a balance
between wear resistance, bond
strength, wear against
natural teeth, and natural
patient aesthetics. It has
five distinct shade zones,
available in 27 shade
options, delivering superior
tooth shading consistency.
Proven performance, over
400,000,000 IPN teeth
produced,
Lucitone® HIPA finishes to a
high shine, just like traditional
compression packed acrylics.
Its advanced color stability
formulation ensures that
dentures maintain their color,
reducing costly remakes.
With Lucitone® Intensive Colors,
you can add an extra level of
premiumization by individually
characterizing the acrylic to
match the patient’s gingiva.
