Sending the Container to the Laboratory to Have the Laboratory Inject the Wax Pattern

In the event that only minor changes are necessary, the Celara™ Denture System enables the dentist to send the container with the cast and the alginate to the laboratory for fabrication of the wax pattern.

Make sure to seal the wax pattern to the cast when sending the Celara case to the laboratory. Also include the alginate container in a tightly sealed bag. This gives the laboratory the option to re-inject if they elect.

A small wet towel must be placed between the alginate and stone halves of the containers. The containers must be secured together and placed in a tightly sealed bag. The Celara alginate is specially formulated so that it will not shrink or distort for up to 96 hours if these instructions are followed correctly.

If cleaning and disinfection of the alginate is required, use a disinfection process and technique which does not cause distortion. Immediately after disinfection procedures, place the alginate container back in a sealed bag. Celara alginate will not distort in a sealed bag, but will distort if left out unsealed.

You can request the laboratory to provide back a Celara Wax Pattern over a stabilized hard base, to be used as a typical base plate and rim (Figure 20). Alternatively, you can request a complete set- up for try-in over a stabilized hard base, providing the lab receives a bite from the impressions in the mouth along with the mold and shade of the teeth (Figure 21. A partial set-up with anterior teeth only can also be requested from the laboratory (Figure 22).
