Denat Equipment Supplier.

Do any of the experts know a supplier for dental equipment, new or secondhand would do.

I,m looking for a dental pressure pot , for use in resin casting. So a second hand one would do. I know they are available in the US, but sourcing one nearer home, would be handier.

On another note, I had an eye tooth extracted 2 days ago, by a dentist in Tullamore. I was shocked at the price of the extraction, and the service.
Both were excellent:D

I never felt any pain, either during the needle, extraction, or payment. This guy was top class, and I would recommend him highly. I expected to pay an awful lot more than I did. So I was pleasently surprised by the bill, for a full checkup, and extraction. I will be going back in a week or two for another extraction, and a couple of fillings.

I just thought I,d mention it.:)

Sorry, I cant edit the thread title.....spelling.

I got one recently from an American supplier on ebay. Fast shipping. You do need a compressed air supply for these.

I checked out on google. And it seems that many dental technicians make their own , by adapting pressure cookers.

So not to be out done by them;), I did the same. Bought a pressure cooker from argus, 35 euro. A valve for tubeless tyres, 2 euro.

Home to the workshop. less than 1 hour later, a perfect pressure pot for curing . Tried it out. Works a treat:D

Some of the technicians have said that they have used this method for over 20 years.

A lot of acrylics / resins like in excess of 2 bar, make sure your pot can handle it long term. Also is there any mechanism to stop you over pressurising it. If it is for research purposes, this will throw off your variables a bit. The proper ones have pressure release valves and will repressurise themselves if the pressure drops.

If it explodes and kills you dont come running back to me

No problem.

I know all about the specs for the acrylics and resins. And I am quite happy about the safety features, and settings of the valves on the pressure pot. And I know how to pressurise it safely.

I,ve worked on machinery, and with compressors, and air pressurised equipment for years. But thanks for highlighting the issues involved in my McGyver mods....queue music:)

In the event that I blow me gnashers out in an explosive mishap:eek:, can I avail of special mod rates on the rebuild of me chops:D:D

Safety first, everything else second:)
