Advance Preparation

Add water to the pressure pot and prepare a stand that will position the CA- DK2-FX (cold-cured) or the silicone stand (heatcured) within the range indicated by the water level gradations. 

Usage Method

This section explains how to create dentures with this kit. Cold-cured resin or heat-cured resin may be used.
There are two workflows: the Denture Base workflow in which the resin is polymerized before the denture base is milled and the artificial teeth are affixed and the Removable Denture workflow in which the mold for the artificial teeth is milled and arranged and the resin is polymerized before the complete denture (full denture) is milled. The work procedure varies depending on the resin and method used.
Cold-cured resin
• Denture Base Workflow (P. 5)• Removable Denture Workflow (P. 8) Heat-cured resin
• Denture Base Workflow (P. 12) • Removable Denture Workflow (P. 17)

Cold-cured resin

Denture Base Workflow
In this method, polymerize the resin, and then mill the denture base and affix the artificial teeth.
1. Create the denture resin.

1. Mix the cold-cured resin powder and the liquid together well.
   After mixing, use a vibrator to extract the air bubbles.

2. Pour the mixture into the CA-DK2-FX (hereinafter referred to as the FX).

3. Wait for the surface of the mixture to dry.

4. Place the FX in the pressure pot.

5. Check the pressure pot’s water level.
   Adjust the amount of water if it is not at the level indicated on the pressure pot.
   

6. Set the pressure, temperature, and time on the pressure pot to polymerize the resin.
   Set the values that are required in order for the cold-cured resin being used to polymerize.

7. After polymerization, cool the resin at room temperature.

2. Mill the denture resin.

   Use a torque screwdriver to loosen the adapter’s cap screws by turning them approximately four times each, and then remove the adapter cap.

2. Attach the adapter base to the FX.
   Align the edge of the adapter (A) with the edge of the FX (B).

3. Attach the adapter cap.

4. Tighten the cap screws (in four locations).
   Tighten the screws until this state is reached.
   Important
