Clinical Overview
GC PATTERN Resin LS is a self-curing acrylic resin specifically designed for precision pattern fabrication in dental applications. It is ideal for both direct and indirect techniques, including copings, post and core build-ups, implant superstructures, and cast clasp frameworks. This resin offers low polymerization shrinkage, excellent handling properties, and a clean burnout with no ash residue—ensuring precise fit and reliable casting results.
Key Benefits
- Low polymerization shrinkage (approx. 0.36%) for highly accurate patterns
- Ash-free burnout ensures clean castings without contamination
- High flexural strength maintains shape integrity during manipulation
- Fast working and setting times improve clinical efficiency
- Excellent brush handling for fine detail and smooth layering
- Versatile use for a wide range of prosthodontic and implant cases
Kit Contents
- 100 g Powder (Polymer base)
- 105 mL Liquid (Monomer solution)
- 2 Mixing cups
- Brush #4
- Pipette
Working & Setting Times
- Working time: Approximately 2 to 3 minutes at 23°C
- Setting time: Approximately 4 minutes at 23°C
Indications
- Coping and crown pattern fabrication
- Post and core patterns
- Implant attachments and bar frameworks
- Electroforming and soldering patterns
- Temporary anchorage and splinting in indirect techniques
- Telescopic and adhesive bridge patterns
Instructions for Use
- Pour equal parts of powder and liquid into separate mixing containers.
- Dampen the brush with the liquid and remove excess.
- Pick up powder with the moistened brush to create a workable resin bead.
- Apply to the desired area in thin layers, shaping as needed.
- Allow the material to polymerize (approximately 2–3 minutes of working time).
- After final shaping, let it set completely (around 4 minutes).
- Proceed with investment and burnout—no residue will remain post burn-out.
Summary
GC PATTERN Resin LS delivers a reliable and accurate patterning solution for a wide range of prosthodontic procedures. Its low shrinkage, high strength, clean burnout, and brush-on ease make it an ideal choice for precise, efficient lab and chairside workflows.
