Int J Prosthodont. 2016 Nov/Dec;29(6):559-560. doi: 10.11607/ijp.4891.

Abstract

This article describes the use of a newly invented compound stick gun to take impressions for complete denture. The border molding process involves loading the modeling compound in an electric heating device and applying an even thickness of compound on the flange of a custom tray at a proper temperature without hot water tempering. This method provides a quicker and easier border molding process alternative to conventional techniques.
