Fiber is Good For You!

Tom Bormes explains where, when and how to use eFiber and Perma Mesh to increase the strength and toughness of composites and denture-base resins up to 100 times. The new eFiber and Mesh are easy to use and increase the number of products and services you can offer, including bondable esthetic temporaries for single-tooth implants.

Precision Attachment-Retained Removable Partial Dentures: The Lost Art

Tom Bormes explains how to make the first tooth in the removable partial denture natural.

Removable Partial Dentures: The Lost Art

Traditionally, removable partial dentures are not easy to present to patients because, too often, they don't enhance the patient's esthetics. Tom Bormes covers a new patented technology where the first tooth in the removable partial denture becomes a veneered pontic that matches and blends with the veneered crown(s) on the retaining abutment--making it part of the removable partial, not a cantilever. He also discusses how to fabricate and market Preci-Vertix, castable spherical attachments, CEKA and I.C.
