[Experience from a study visit in Denmark].

Abstract

The author paid a study visit at Dental Royal College in Aarhus, Denmark from 3rd September to 5th November 1987. The postgraduate course was devoted to progressive methods of fixed prosthetics. The author draws attention to some conceptual differences in Danish fixed prosthetics. In the preparation technique there are particularly differences in grinding the grinding of support teeth in metalloceramic works. In the impression technique preference is given to the method of double mixing with injection discharge of elastomer subgingivally and around the circumference of the prepared stump while using a bitumen individual spoon. In the laboratory technique they have been using the American PIN-DEX system of pull-out necks, modelling of buttress construction without relief and together with the construction, in addition to ceramic facet making to chemical facet-making by means of composite bitumen made by KULZER, trade mark DENTACOLOR XS, which polymerize in Ultraviolet light.
