Wax Occlusals

• The Gnathoflex is filled with modeling wax of your choice.
• As soon as the wax begins to gel, place the Gnathoflex on the die.
• Close the articulator and attach the Gnathoflex using a drop of wax.
• A high lustre precision wax production of the mould is created.

Acrylic Occlusals

• Prepare the coping as usual, and apply the crown and bridge acrylic (dentine) of your choice.
• No separating agent is needed. Fill the cusps with incisal, then fill the mould completely with dentine. Place the mould on the bridge.
• Close the articulator, if using light cure acrylic, begin light curing in order to fix the bite.
• Remove the bridge, apply interdental contact areas and complete polymerization

Porcelain Occlusals

• Apply the opaque, fire it and build up the bridge using dentine. Apply a thin coat of Gnathoflex separating agent.
• First fill with the incisal, then with dentine. The incisal material should be brushed out from the cusps toward margins.
• In order to allow for shrinkage, keep articulator open by more than 0.5 mm when building up porcelain occlusals. Place Gnathoflex on bridge.
• Dry porcelain as usual. Carefully remove the Gnathoflex, remove bridge from model, apply further porcelain to contact areas and fire as usual.
