1. WHAT IS IT?

What is Eclipse?
Eclipse is a revolutionary new prosthetic resin system. monomer-free* and investment-free. The
Eclipse System uses three resins to form the denture: Baseplate Resin, Set-up Resin and Contour
Resin. The resins were developed to handle like wax, yet be cured into a denture base material
without investing and flasking. The baseplate used at try-in will be incorporated into the denture that
will be delivered. The fit at try-in has been shown in a clinical study to equal fit at delivery.

What is the benefit of Eclipse to me, the Clinical Professional?

- The fit at try-in equals the fit at delivery
- Monomer-free*
- Teeth are more stable during try-in and in transit to/from your dental laboratory

Is there any reason why I would not want to use an Eclipse denture?
Though there are a few slight difference, we designed Eclipse denture base material to stay within the
workflow of conventional denture base materials. We feel the superior fit and comfort, monomer-free*,
and using the final processed baseplate for the occlusal records and try-in, will overshadow any
concerns a dentist may have about using Eclipse denture base materials.

However, if a patient has a very tight vertical distance, the Clinical Professional may choose to use a
conventional material since teeth must have retention grooves ground into them. If a tooth must be
ground down to a point where there is no depth remaining to cut retention grooves or a collar groove,
then Eclipse may not be suitable.

What is the benefit to my patients?

- The fit at try-in equals the fit at delivery.
- Its methyl, ethyl and butyl methacrylate free.

Was the material clinically tested?

Yes. A multi-site clinical study was conducted to make sure the product is efficacious and performs
well. Additionally, Eclipse has been proven safe. Eclipse materials have been thoroughly tested and
comply with FDA requirements, ISO 10993 guidelines, and International Standard ISO 7045. The
toxicological/biocompatibility test matrix includes cytotoxicity, genotoxicity (Ames), sensitization,
irritation, and oral toxicity evaluations.

What is the difference between Eclipse and Triad Denture Base Material?
Eclipse materials use a different chemistry. Eclipse is stronger than Triad. With Eclipse, the three
different resins are combined to create the denture.

- Eclipse is wax-like, tried in like a wax try-in, and then cured; Triad is not.
- Eclipse is carvable and can be tried-in; Triad can not.
- Eclipse is shaded like Lucitone 199; Triad is not.

What is the difference between Eclipse and Lucitone 199?

- Eclipse handles like a wax; Lucitone 199 does not.
- Eclipse is monomer-free*; Lucitone 199 is not.
- Eclipse does not require investing or boiling out; Lucitone 199 does.
- With Eclipse, fit at try-in equals fit at delivery. This claim can not be made with Lucitone 199 unless a
processed baseplate is used, which is rarely done due to the extra labor required.
- Eclipse has about a 3% volumetric shrinkage while conventional acrylics and Lucitone 199
are about 7%.
- Eclipse requires mechanical retention between the resins and the teeth; Lucitone 199 does not (but a

high percentage of laboratories use mechanical retention with conventional denture resins).

Before requesting an Eclipse denture, is there anything I need to purchase?

The Clinical Professional may need a warm water bath to soften the resins to adjust teeth, or silicone
based materials to take a new bite registration (DENTSPLY Caulk Regisil ) and to "plump" the gingival
areas (DENTSPLY Caulk Reprosil ). Other than that, there is no equipment to be purchased.

If I pour my own models, do I need to do anything special?

If you pour your own models and send them to the laboratory, you need to make sure that the land
areas are no greater than 1mm above the depth of the sulcus to allow light penetration for complete
curing of the border areas. Carve the postdam in the master model if not included in the impression.

How is the curing process for Eclipse different than Triad?

Eclipse and Triad are both based on urethane dimethacrylate chemistry and are cured by light and
heat. However, the similarities end there. Eclipse uses different initiator species from Triad Denture
Resins which ensures high strength. The Eclipse Processing Unit contains six lamps, two fans and is
designed specifically to properly cure the complex, three dimensional geometry of devices
encountered in prosthodontics.

How is the curing process for Eclipse different than Lucitone 199?
L199 is a peroxide-initiated heat cured MMA powder-liquid resin that must be processed at
temperatures above 163F. Light activation is not possible.
2. GENERAL QUESTION AND ANSWERS

Can Eclipse materials be characterized?

Yes. You may mix the different shades of Contour Resin to achieve the desired esthetics (lighter or
darker shading) in the finished denture. Because Eclipse Resins are easy to handle, the various colors
can be applied exactly where you desire.

Different colors are required for orthodontic applications. When will you have
more shades?
We do not have any immediate plans to develop orthodontic shades.

Can Triad Air Barrier Coating and Model Release Agent be used with the
Eclipse System?
There are only three materials that can be used for both the Triad and Eclipse systems: Air Barrier
Coating, Model Release Agent and Sealing Gel. The similarities end there. No other materials from
one system can be used with the other system.

Why do I have to be concerned about the cleanliness of the area used for
Eclipse?
All of the Eclipse materials, once processed, become part of the final restoration that the patient will be
wearing. Therefore, it is essential that the Eclipse materials stay free of dirt and debris that could
become incorporated into the material and, ultimately, the finished product.

Can the Eclipse System be used for the wax-up of implant bars)?
Not at the present time.

When fabricating nightguards, is it Ok to apply separator to the opposing

articulated cast and "tap in" the occlusion?
Yes. This technique is included in the Directions for Use (DFU).

How do you process dentures that need "clear palates"?

This technique is not shown in the Eclipse Directions for Use (DFU). However, technicians report
making a clear baseplate (unprocessed), then removing clear material from the labial ridge and adding
shaded Baseplate resin in its place. Careful attention must be made to integrate the clear and shaded
resins on the ridge.

Can a wax solvent or acetate be used to clean wax off of a model?

Use only boiling water.

If doing a "one-shot" denture, is it necessary to process the baseplate

separately?
This is not recommended and is not included in the Directions for Use (DFU).
We use Steam cleaning at our lab; will the steam be an issue on this material?
Steam cleaning is an excellent method for removing wax from the baseplate.

How long do you have to warm the model before adapting the baseplate?
The models can take from 10 minutes on up. The amount of time it takes depends on how many
models you have in the oven at one time, and how frequently you open the oven door, and how wet
the models are. The model must get to 50 degrees C and then the baseplate materials will flow well
onto the model. Paper temperature indicators (reorder #905136) are provided in the introductory kit,
and sold separately, to help you know when the model is ready to adapt the material to it.

Any problems using on patients with extremely thick cases? Processing time
affected?
See Eclipse Materials Section.

What are the standard instruments needed with this material?

You can use the same "type" of instruments for carving and setting teeth that you currently use. The
difference is that the instruments you use for Eclipse need to be dedicated and used only for Eclipse
materials. Do not use your current instruments because they may contaminate the Eclipse materials
with wax.

How do you apply Ruggae?

Ruggae is best formed using Contour resin and the Electric Spatula.

How do you know you have an even palate?

If the pallet becomes too thin, it will start to become transparent in the "thin" areas.

Why isnt Eclipse Baseplate Resin packaged like Triad (in sheets)?
Eclipse Baseplate Resin has a "cold flow" property. This means the material will slowly creep if not
contained in an airtight package that is dimensionally stable. Because of this, it is not possible to form
and store Eclipse Baseplate Resin in sheets.

How is material for carving around teeth?

The Contour Resin carves nicely when allowed to cool properly.

Can I make nightguards with a soft occlusal surface with this material?
At present, this has not been tested.

Why is a finish line or shoulder required on the baseplate?

A finish line helps to create a butt joint with the Contour Resin material. This is very important so that a
"feathered edge" is not created. A feathered edge may be prone to delamination.
3. MATERIALS

Which materials are available in clear?

The upper and lower baseplates are available in clear, perfect for nightguards and occlusal splints.

Can the clear material be used to fabricate a clear baseplate, or a baseplate

with a clear palate?
Yes, though we anticipate the clear material being used primarily for nightguards and occlusal splints.

Do the materials bond well together? Is there any problem with the layering?
The Baseplate, Set-up and Contour Resins all bond well together. Eclipse appliances may also be
relined with various materials that you are accustomed to working with, such as DENTSPLY Austenal
PermaSoft.

How long can the Eclipse materials be stored?

Eclipse materials have a 2-year minimum shelf life.

Can the Eclipse resins be over-cured?

The Eclipse Processing Unit is designed to provide the correct amount of light and heat for the various
procedures. Just press in the menu number for the application your are processing and the processing
unit will do the rest.

Do you preheat material before handling?

The baseplate will become sticky if too warm, very short exposures (2 minutes) in the 55 C oven are
done by some technicians if they desire a softer resin for easier adaptation.

Will Eclipse material cure from heat alone?

No. Heat alone can not cure Eclipse. Light is required, in addition to heat, to polymerize the material.

Can you boil the wax off the processed baseplate?

Yes. After the wax-rim appointment, the instructions call for using hot water to remove wax from the
processed baseplate, while it is still on the model. Scoop hot water over the baseplate/model to
remove all wax. Do not submerge the baseplate/model into boiling water to avoid warping.

Can I save the unused material?

The Baseplate or Set-up Resin remaining from making an appliance can go back into the package it
came in, and then be stored in a light safe bag for future use and keep clean. The Baseplate Resin
must be placed on a level surface or the shape will distort due to its "cold flow" properties. Any unused
contour resin in the melting pot must be cleaned out at the end of each day and discarded.

What is the working time of the materials?

Eclipse materials are designed to be light polymerized in a processing unit developed for this purpose.
Accordingly, these materials are also sensitive to ambient light and have a minimum "working time" of
60 minutes under typical room illumination. Exposure of Eclipse materials to direct sunlight prior to
processing must be avoided.

How long can the baseplate material sit, once adapted to the cast, before the
"cold-flow" properties cause the materials to distort?
We recommend that the fabricated baseplate go into the processing unit within 10 minutes of being
adapted.

Does this material dry out your hands?

No.

Will I leave fingerprints on the materials?

The Baseplate Resin is the softest material and will show fingerprints. However, lightly rubbing the
surface will quickly smooth any imperfections. Further, the baseplate surface will be roughened later
before your begin setting teeth.

If there are tiny air bubbles in the materials when I open the package, should I
be concerned?
Any air bubbles you may find in the packaging will not have any effect on the performance of the
Eclipse Resins. However, avoid air entrapment as much as possible. Bubbles on the surface should
be polished out so that the denture is esthetic and so that no stain occurs or plaque attracts to an
exposed "hole."

How thick can the materials be fabricated? How thin?

In clinical situations requiring thick devices, the case should be fabricated by building up the baseplate
thickness rather than adding Set-up Resin. In these instances, Eclipse baseplate thickness should be
limited to 8 mm when using a single 10 minute cure. In clinical situations requiring even more buildup
of BPR, i.e., greater than 8 mm of thickness, the baseplate should be fabricated in two steps requiring
two 10 minute cures.

The limit of 8mm for baseplate is due to the fact that the resin is visible light cured and light
penetration decreases as the thickness of the device increases. Please call Trubyte Technical
Services for more details.

The minimum Eclipse device thickness should be equal to what is used for pour dentures and/or
HyPro dentures when clinical cases require small thickness dimension. This will be effective since
Eclipse mechanical properties exceed those of pour acrylics and conventional heat cure acrylics.

Bear in mind that thinner appliances, whether they are Eclipse or pour acrylic, will not be as long lived
as thicker appliances since the thin device will bend more under load (as the denture becomes less
well fitting due to changes in the mouth). That said, thin Eclipse appliances should last as long as thin
pour acrylic devices.

How do I know if I have the correct thickness? How far should I press the
material out?
Press material so no thin areas are visible.

How should we deal with severe undercuts on the master model after
processing?
To remove the master model from the processed baseplate that has severe undercuts, it must be
sectioned and destroyed.
After baseplate fabrication, rather than "burring" the surface, could the tech
use a micro blaster, sand or otherwise, to rough up the surface?
No. Sand blasting will leave unwanted particles on the surface of the baseplate. Shell blasting may
result in the same issues.

When you boil off the wax, does the appliance begin to cure?
At the wax-rim appointment, the baseplate is already cured. When removing wax from the baseplate
after the wax-rim appointment, we recommend that the baseplate remains on the model and that you
scoop hot water over the baseplate until all the wax is removed. Do not submerge the baseplate in
boiling water to avoid warping.

A technician who had once worked in the automotive industry where they
cured Urethane resins containing Isocyanates. These types of Isocyanates are
know as being bad for your health.
Eclipse resins differ from what is used in the autobody industry. Eclipse base resins, i.e., starting
materials, are made with isocyanates however they are reacted urethanes; Technicians, doctors or
patients will never touch a concentrated isocyanate resin. Toxicological tests have been done to show
acceptable biocompatibility.
4. QUESTIONS ABOUT PROPERTY

How does the stain resistance of Eclipse compare to Lucitone 199?

The Eclipse chemistry is inherently resistant to common staining chromophores that are consumed
during eating and drinking. Good stain resistance was demonstrated with two common staining
agents, coffee and mustard, in an accelerated in-vitro stain test.

Two important factors:

Air Barrier Coating (ABC) must be used to prevent air inhibition, which causes staining.
It is important to achieve a smooth surface when polishing the denture since rough, unpolished areas
did show slight stain.

Eclipse provides acceptable in-vitro stain resistance to both coffee and mustard when properly
polished. In-vitro mustard stain resistance is similar to L199. Dentures, repairs and relines and fracture
repair all show acceptable stain resistance.

Is there any micro leakage between the Eclipse material and the teeth (similar
to porcelain teeth and acrylic)?
Based on the results from our multi-site clinical study, there has been no evidence of leakage or
staining.

Is Eclipse color stable?

Eclipse has undergone rigorous testing including the standard ADA testing for color stability. In
addition, no significant color changes have been noted from the clinical study.

Unlike other monomer-free materials that are known to have color stability concerns, Eclipse has
excellent color stability.

Does this material attract bacteria, more or less than conventional materials?
Bacterial growth in prosthedontic materials is generally due to the sorption of water. Eclipse passes
the ADA specification for water sorption and no significant bacterial or candida growth has been
observed in the clinical study.

How does disinfectant affect material?

The following disinfectants have been used sucessfullly with the cured and uncured Eclipse resins:
Glutaraldehyde-based disinfectants
Quaternary ammonium chlorides
Quaternary ammonium chlorides/isopropyl alcohol (low concentration)
Spray-based phenolics
Use of other disinfectant products may not be suitable with Eclipse. Avoid disinfectants containing
iodine.

Has Eclipse been tested on patients, and have there been any sensitivity or
allergic reactions?
Eclipse materials have been thoroughly tested and comply with FDA requirements, ISO 10993
guidelines and International Standard ISO 7045. The toxicological / biocompatibility test matrix
includes cytotoxicity, genotoxicity (Ames), sensitization, irritation, and oral toxicity evaluations.
What is the amount of shrinkage during processing of the Eclipse material?
Eclipse has about a 3% volumetric shrinkage while conventional acrylics and Lucitone 199 are about
7%. This is why Eclipse is able to deliver on the claim, fit at try-in equals fit at delivery.

Shrinkage is similar to Triad, and less than heat-cured acrylics. Shrinkage of the individual Eclipse
Resins comprising the devices approximately 50-70% less (Baseplate = 50% and Contour = 70%)
than that of heat-cured acrylic and on par with Triad Denture base.

Whats the bond look like between baseplate and contour/finishing resins?
Contour and Setup Resins bond to the baseplate by micro-mechanical retention. The surface of the
ground baseplate is irregular and the molten / liquified Contour and Set-up Resins flow into and
around the rough surface contours while setting teeth and contouring the denture. When the Contour
and Set-up Resins are cured, the resin is locked into place. This bond is the same as for bonding of
plastic teeth to acrylic denture resin. There is no actual chemical bond of Contour Resin to the
baseplate.
The key in obtaining the best lock of Contour Resin and Set-up Resin to the baseplate is a good melt
interface which is why the Directions For Use stress that the Set-up Resin surface must be melted
prior to placement on the baseplate.
5. EQUIPMENT

Do the processing units need to be routinely calibrated?

No. The Eclipse Processing Unit is checked before it is sent and does not require further calibration.

Can the Triad Processing Unit be used instead of the Eclipse Processing Unit?
No. The Eclipse Processing Unit was designed specifically with the light and heat requirements
needed for the Eclipse resin materials. Eclipse runs much hotter that Triad, since it uses six lamps.
The two processing units are not similar and are not interchangeable.

The Triad Processing Unit only gets to a temperature of 168 F. The Eclipse Processing Unit attains a
temperature of 265 F. A denture processed in a Triad Processing Unit will not cure properly, even
though it may appear cured when you take it out of the unit. A Triad cured Eclipse denture will not
have the strength required of a denture.

Can light bulbs from the Triad Units be used in the Eclipse Processing Unit?
The lamps used in the Triad I & II are identical to the laps used in the Eclipse Processing Unit. Do
NOT use the same lamps as in the Triad 2000. The Triad 2000 lamps will not work in the Eclipse
Processing Unit and will trigger an error message to appear on the screen indicating that the bulbs
must be replaced.

How long do the lamps last?

Lamps average 135 hours.

Are there different times and temperatures for different appliances?

Yes. The Processing Unit is programmed with various menus to cover the different processing times
for the different procedures. The Directions for Use, and the menu screen on the Eclipse Processing
Unit will help you select the correct program for your application.

Is there heat involved in the process?

Yes. The light triggers the polymerization process, but both light and heat are needed to cure the
appliances correctly.

Do you need to cure the tissue side of all appliances?

No. Tissue side curing is only required for relines and repairs.

Does the DENTSPLY Melting Pot need to be regulated?

The temperature required to melt the resin is 87 C or 189 F. The technician can adjust the temperature
slightly to alter the handling of the resin. However, the temperature should not reduced to the point that
the Contour Resin becomes thick or viscous, otherwise air will become entrapped and/or white areas
may appear after processing.
6. TEETH

Can Eclipse be used with both acrylic and porcelain teeth?

Yes. You can choose acrylic or porcelain teeth for your cases. However, since there is no chemical
bond between the tooth material and the Eclipse materials, mechanical retention is necessary.

How are the teeth retained in the denture?

Acrylic teeth must have retention groves cut into them. Teeth will not adhere to the material without
mechanical retention.

What about displacement of the teeth at try-in?

Eclipse is more stable than wax. Teeth will not move unless the dentist warms the material in a warm
water bath to adjust them, or the patient uses excessive biting force.

Is there any staining at the gingival margin of the tooth, similar to porcelain
teeth?
A clinical study has not demonstrated any gingival staining.
7. RELINES AND REPAIRS

Since Eclipse is monomer-free*, can relines and repairs be done on the Eclipse
dentures? Other monomer-free* materials, such as those used in flexible resin
systems, do not reline and repair well.
Yes. Eclipse can be relined and repaired just like conventional denture materials.

Can I reline in-office?

Your Eclipse dentures can be relined in either the office or at the laboratory. Relines can be done with
quick curing materials, such as DENTSPLY Austenal PermaSoft reline material, as well as Lucitone
199 Denture Base Material.

Can I use Eclipse to repair/reline conventional dentures?

Eclipse materials can only be used to reline and repair Eclipse appliances. Though other materials
may be used to reline or repair an Eclipse denture, the temperature required to cure Eclipse materials
is too high for conventional materials. The conventional materials may warp.

Will Eclipse dentures accept soft liners?

Cases that have been done have been satisfactory using DENTSPLY Trubyte Luci-Sof silicone soft
liners, and DENTSPLY Austenal PermaSoft.

Does Eclipse need a bonding agent for repairs and relines?

No, not when using Eclipse resins or conventional methylmethacrylate materials.

Are Eclipse repairs strong? Other monomer-free* materials have proven to

break easily in the same location once they are repaired?
Yes, Eclipse repairs are strong. Through extensive laboratory testing we have found that Eclipse
repairs fail across, and not along, the interface which is a key indication of a durable repair. If an
Eclipse denture is broken a second time, the fracture typically does not occur at the repair site,
another indication of a robust repair.
8. TRY-IN

Why is the try-in returned in a light-safe bag?

The material has a degree of light sensitivity. Having the appliance in ambient light while you are
working with your patient is not a problem. Otherwise, keep the appliance in the light-safe bag.

Is it possible to make in-office adjustments and move the teeth at try-in?

Yes. If the teeth need minor adjustments, you can do this chairside by preparing a water bath at 110F
(43C). Then place the set-up into the water for approximately 30-45 seconds to warm the uncured
denture base material and move the teeth. When moving the teeth, warm the resin and push on the
Contour Resin near the base of the tooth to move it into position. Do not push directly on the tooth as
a gap or void may be created that can impact tooth retention. The Chairside Aid explains this, as well
as the Clinical Procedures CD.

If the occlusion is not acceptable at try-in can the teeth be removed for a new
bite registration?
Yes. Use a silicone material, such as DENTSPLY Caulk Regisil, to make a new bite registration. Do
not use wax.

What disinfectants can be used with Eclipse?

Uncured Eclipse dentures are sensitive to, and are softened by, some types of disinfectants.

Cured Eclipse dentures are resistant to common disinfectants thus a broad range of materials can be
used on the finished device including phenolics, quaternary ammonium chlorides, and glutaraldehye-
based disinfectants. Thus a dentist or lab technician does not need to be concerned about disinfection
of a finished denture whose origin is unknown. [Note: One caveat is iodine-containing disinfectants;
these may stain Eclipse (and probably acrylics too) and are not recommended.]

The specific disinfectants that we have tested and found to work well on UNCURED Eclipse dentures
are:
ProSpray
Cavicide
Banicide

The specific disinfectants that we tested and found to work well on CURED Eclipse dentures are:
ProSpray
Cavicide
Banicide
Prophene Plus
Birex se

What about displacement of the teeth at try-in?

Eclipse is more stable than wax. Teeth will not move unless the clinical professional warms the
material in a warm water bath to adjust them, or the patient uses excessive biting force.

Why not deliver the case with a conventional wax-up, get DDS approval and
"jump" the teeth with a matrix, and process in lab?
Conventional dental wax can be used to set teeth in combination with an Eclipse processed baseplate
to make a try-in denture. Directions for this procedure are found in the Directions For Use, page 6.,
first column, III. OPTIONAL METHODS FOR FULL AND PARTIAL DENTURES.
9. CLINICAL PROFESSIONAL QUESTIONS

Is it possible to make in-office adjustments and move the teeth at try-in?

Yes. If the teeth need minor adjustments, the dentist can accomplish this chair-side by preparing a
water bath at 110F (43C). Then place the set-up into the water for approximately 30-45 seconds to
warm the uncured denture base material and move the teeth. When moving the teeth, warm the resin
and push on the Contour Resin near the base of the tooth to move it into position. Do not push directly
on the tooth. The DDS Chair-side aid explains this, as well as the instructional CD or video supplied to
the DDS.

How would Clinical Professional reposition the midline chairside?

If moving the teeth more than 1mm, send the case back to the lab for a reset.

Is there an educational component for the Clinical Professional?

Yes. There are a few small differences between working with an Eclipse denture made from light cure
resin, and traditional materials. A CD or video is available to the dentist to explain the system to them,
as well as a chair-side aid and a Q&A sheet.

What is the recommended procedure/material requirement for a Clinical

Professional to do a chairside reline?
The Clinical Professional would do a chair-side reline in the same way they have always done a chair-
side reline.

Many Clinical Professionals ask us to hydrate the appliance for 72 hours prior
to delivery; will the appliance absorb water?
Similar to acrylics, the appliance will absorb small amounts of water. Eclipse materials meet the ADA
specifications for water sorption.

How do you take a bite registration with this material?

If you need to re-take the bite registration, use silicone based material, such as DENTSPLY Caulk
Regisil, and proceed as usual.

What about displacement of the teeth at try-in?

Eclipse is more stable than wax. Teeth will not move unless the dentist warms the material in a warm
water bath to adjust them, or the patient uses excessive biting force.

If the Clinician pours their own models, do they need to do anything special?
If you pour your own models and send them to the laboratory, you just need to make sure that the land
areas are no greater than 1mm above the depth of the sulcus to allow light penetration for complete
curing of the border areas. Carve the post dam in the master model if not included in the impression.

Can the Clinical Professional take a wash impression if needed?

Yes. If necessary, take the wash impression at the occlusal appointment, not at the try-in appointment.
Any changes should be made as early in the process as possible.
At the occlusal records appointment, does the Clinical Professional need to do
anything special?
As with all dentures, the accuracy of the records is reflected in the try-in and final dentures. As always,
make sure to: Indicate the inter occlusal distance between the upper and lower arch, the mid-line
between the two maxillary centrals, and the width of the anterior six.

Why is the try-in returned in a light safe bag?

The material has a degree of light sensitivity. Having the appliance in the light while you are working
with your patient is not a problem. We suggest you keep the appliance in the light safe bag when you
are not working on it.

If the Clinical Professional wants to plump or reduce the gingival areas at try-
in, how should this be done?
To plump, use Silicone Putty, such as DENTSPLY Caulk Reprosil to add volume to the gingival area.
Do not use wax. To reduce, just carve material away, or instruct your laboratory to do so.

If the occlusion is not acceptable at try-in can the teeth be removed for a new
bite registration?
Yes. Use a silicone material such as DENTSPLY Caulk Regisil to make a new bite registration. Do
not use wax.

Can the Clinical Professional still adjust the teeth?

Of course! Dip the area you want to adjust the teeth into a warm water bath at 110F (43C) to soften
the resin. Then adjust the teeth as necessary. When moving the teeth, warm the resin and push on the
Contour Resin near the base of the tooth to move it into position. Be careful not to create air voids
under teeth that may impact tooth retention.

Can Clinical Professionals reline Eclipse dentures? In-office?

Eclipse dentures can be relined in either the office or at the laboratory. Relines can be done with quick
curing materials, as well as Lucitone 199.

What disinfectants can be used with Eclipse?

Uncured Eclipse dentures are sensitive to, and are softened by, some types of disinfectants.

Cured Eclipse dentures are resistant to common disinfectants thus a broad range of materials can be
used on the finished device including phenolics, quaternary ammonium chlorides, and glutaraldehye-
based disinfectants. Thus a dentist or lab technician does not need to be concerned about disinfection
of a finished denture whose origin is unknown. [Note: One caveat is iodine-containing disinfectants;

How are the teeth retained to the denture?

Mechanical retention is required to retain teeth in the denture.

* Eclipse contains no methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl methacrylate monomers.
