Abstract

U L C A N I T E is perhaps one o f the most abused and least understood materials in the practice of dentistry today. Because the technic o f manipula­ tion is relatively simple, many have grow n careless in their treatment o f it. M ost denture cases are flasked and packed in an uncertain fashion, and are then vulcanized for a more or less indefi­ nite time and temperature. Some have noted that certain vulcaniz­ ing technics yield a vulcanite which ap­ pears stronger than that produced by other methods. T h ere are practically no data to show how much the increase in strength might be. Neither are there any specifications set up for the strength o f vulcanite.
