Hoffmannʼs ULTRA VIOLET BASE PLATES
AREAS OF APPLICATION
Base plates for wax-ups
For making individual impression trays
Functional impression taking for crown and bridge restorations
Bite plates and plates for intraoral support pin registration
SAFETY NOTE
UV base contains methacrylates, which are potential contact allergens. In order to avoid direct skin contact, the plates must be provided with an inhibition layer out of Vaseline. After hardening in a light oven, this can be seen as a smear layer on the plates. The layer can be wiped off after light curing with a cloth soaked in alcohol. An additional step to protect the skin.
