Directions for Use.
LABORATORY
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
I. FULL DENTURES
A. Baseplate
1. Box and pour the master
model. The land area of the
model should be 1mm or less
above the depth of the sulcus
to allow light penetration for
complete curing.
2. Carve the post-dam in the
master model if not included
in the impression.
3. Due to undercuts, a duplicate
or working model may be
required for articulation
and set-up. The baseplate
must be cured on the master
model.
4. Place temperature indicator
on model. Paint a thin layer
of separator (Al-Cote®
Separating Agent) on the
dry master model and allow
separator to dry completely.
NOTE: Since the baseplate and
set-up will become the final
prosthesis, cleanliness is very
important to an acceptable
outcome.
5. Heat the master model to
120-130°F (49-54°C) in the
Dentpsly Sirona Conditioning
Oven set at 131°F (55°C).
Heating time will vary
depending on the number of
models in the Dentpsly Sirona
Conditioning Oven and the
water content of the gypsum.
Temperature Indicator
(provided) will turn black
when model is at correct
temperature.
6. Place the rounded sides
of the upper or lower size
Baseplate Resin arch on
the ridge and allow the
Baseplate Resin to warm on
the model for 30 seconds.
Carefully adapt the labial/
buccal surfaces to avoid
air entrapment. Begin
adaptation at the crest of
the ridge and slowly and
carefully adapt the material
down the buccal slope and
into the vestibule last. Follow
the same procedure for the
palatal/lingual section. For
the maxillary baseplate,
carefully join the two sides at
the midline without trapping
air.
7. Apply Eclipse Air Barrier
Coating to the entire surface
of the baseplate, and place it
in the Eclipse Processing Unit
within 10 minutes; then start
the baseplate cure sequence.
(Menu #1/Full Baseplate
Cure)
* Alternate Curing Units -
Austenal® Enterra™ VLC
Curing Unit/ Eclipse®
Junior (EU Only) - Refer to
appropriate Directions for
Materials Use in these curing
units.
8. When the curing cycle
is complete, remove the
baseplate/model from the
Eclipse Processing Unit
and allow the baseplate/
model to cool on the bench
until reaching ambient
temperature.
9. Soak the baseplate and
master model in tap water

3
for 5 to15 minutes to facilitate
baseplate removal from the
master model. If undercuts
are present, section the
master model carefully with
a separating disc from the
underside prior to removal.
10. Trim and smooth the
baseplate borders. If the
master model is damaged
during removal of the
baseplate, the duplicate
model may require
modification to allow
seating of this baseplate for
articulation and tooth set-up.
Alternatively, blocking out
undercuts in the processed
baseplate can help make a
working model. When making
a working model, protect the
borders by applying a utility
wax bead prior to pouring
stone or plaster into the
processed baseplate.
11. For the Hybrid Denture
Technique (Eclipse Baseplate
Resin + Lucitone 199®), refer
to Eclipse® Wax Remover
Directions for Use.
B. Occlusion Rims
1. Place wax occlusal rims on
the baseplate and send to
the clinician for aesthetic and
occlusal records.
2. When returned, mount the
models using the baseplate(s)
and occlusal rims with
the occlusal registration.
Transfer occlusal markings
and aesthetic markings
(i.e. midline, canine, smile
line, dominant side) to the
opposing cast.
3. While the baseplate is still
on the model, completely
clean all traces of wax from
the baseplate by rinsing
with clean boiling water,
or use a lab steamer. DO
NOT IMMERSE IN BOILING
WATER. Complete removal
of wax is critical to success.
4. Allow the baseplate to cool to
room temperature while still
on the model.
5. Roughen the entire outer
surface of the baseplate
with a coarse carbide bur or
diamond to enhance bonding.
A butt joint is recommended
about 1-2 mm above the
depth of the sulcus. The goal
is to eliminate feathered
edges of Contour Resin on
the flange.
6. Clean the entire
prepared surface,
thoroughly
scrubbing with a
clean denture
brush and tap water; then
dry. Following this, use a
brush and isopropyl or ethyl/
denatured alcohol to clean
the surface; then blow dry
with clean compressed air.
C. Tooth Set-Up
Interim Preparation Steps:
1. Soften Set-up Resin by
placing the package
inside the Dentpsly Sirona
Conditioning Oven at 131°F
(55°C) for about 5-10 minutes
if desired.
2. Melt Contour Resin in the
Dentpsly Sirona Melting Pot
(120V) on setting 8, or in the
Renfert Vario E Melting Pot
(230V) at a temperature of
189°F (87°C).
NOTE: Clean the Contour Resin
from the Dentpsly Sirona Melting
Pot after 8 hours to assure that
only fresh material is used. Limit
light exposure to the melted
Contour Resin by keeping the lid
on the Dentpsly Sirona Melting
Pot closed when not transferring
resin to the denture.
3. Remove wax from teeth with
clean boiling water using the
Dentpsly Sirona Tooth Cage,
or other means.
Cast

4
4. Store prepared and cleaned
teeth in the Dentpsly Sirona
Tooth Box until setting teeth.
5. Deglaze teeth.
6. When using plastic teeth,
prepare teeth using Eclipse
Bonding Agent. See Bonding
Agent Directions For Use
and follow Step-By-Step
instructions.
7. When using porcelain teeth
with pins and/or vent holes,
no tooth preparation is
required.
8. The Eclipse Set-up Resin
may be used as supplied or
cut lengthwise to preferred
diameter. Melt the bottom of
the Set-up Resin with the flat
surface of the Wax Pencil tip;
then place it onto the ridge
area of the baseplate. Use as
little Set-up Resin as possible.
9. Melt the surface of the Set-up
Resin with the Dentpsly
Sirona Wax Pencil Pro or
DentpslySironaHotAirGun
just prior to tooth placement.
Set teeth while Set-up Resin
is in a softened condition.
Use the Dentpsly Sirona
Wax Pencil Pro; temperature
set at 3 o’clock position is
suggested to flow molten
Contour Resin around teeth
to hold in position.
NOTE: Do not “slice” Set-up
Resin with Dentpsly Sirona Wax
Pencil Pro as you would wax, as
this will entrap air.
10. Complete contouring of the
denture base by using the
Dentpsly Sirona Wax Pencil
Pro, Temperature set at 3
o’clock position is suggested
to flow liquefied Contour
Resin onto the denture as
needed. Observe the Contour
Resin as it is applied onto
the denture and “pop” any
bubbles that are seen while
the resin is still fluid. Contour
Resin should cover all Set-up
Resin and exposed baseplate.
Contour to desired shape.
NOTE: Allow Contour Resin to
cool before contouring.
NOTE: Do not whip the Contour
Resin to re-suspend red fibers
as they settle out. Stir gently
to re-suspend fibers, which will
minimize air entrapment.
NOTE: Contour the denture to
the finished dimensions. Do not
“bulk-up.”
11. Carve around teeth with a
sharp instrument and festoon
Contour Resin with the
instrument of your choice.
Make sure teeth are clean
of all flash/Contour Resin
for best results. Instruments
should be free of wax
and dedicated for Eclipse
materials only. Use the
Dentpsly Sirona Hot Air Gun
to smooth the Contour Resin
around teeth and gingival
area, as well as the junction
of the baseplate and Contour
Resin. At this point, the
denture is ready for try-in.
NOTE: Due to the light curing
nature of the material, the
uncured try-in must be sent to
the dentist in a Light Safe Bag
(provided in Baseplate Resin
package).
D. Adjustments
1. If teeth must be re-positioned
in the lab after the try-in visit,
this is best accomplished by
keeping the uncured denture
cool and breaking the teeth
away from the uncured resin.
Refrigerating for a short
time will make this easier.
The teeth can then be re-set
with a melt interface using
a small amount of Set-up
and Contour Resin. Melting
the resins to loosen and
re-position the teeth may
cause air entrapment and
handling challenges.

5
2. Check uncured denture for
tight tooth-to-base margins.
Re-adapt if needed.
3. Remove model from
articulator mounting.
E. Processing
There are two methods for
preparing a denture for
processing to ensure the best fit:
A. Pour a fresh model into the
denture when ridges have
been broken, adjusted, or
if patient has flat ridges
(see step 1).
B. Use existing model and
EclipseGeltosealborders
on other case types (go to
step 2).
1. If pouring an upper model
(100% stone or 50:50 mix)
into the denture, keep
gypsum away from labial
and lingual surfaces to avoid
shadows that may
result in areas of
under-cure.
2. If pouring a lower
model (100%
stone or 50:50
mix) into the
denture, keep gypsum away
from labial surfaces and
keep the lingual open (model
forms a horseshoe) to avoid
shadows that may result in
areas of under-cure.
3. Apply Eclipse Air Barrier
Coating to denture, covering
all external resin surfaces and
teeth.
4. Place the denture/model
in the Dentpsly Sirona
Conditioning Oven set at
130°F (55°C) and pre-heat for
at least 1 hour (but not longer
than 8 hours).
5. Remove denture/model
from the Dentpsly Sirona
Conditioning Oven. If a fresh
model was used, go to step 6
immediately. If using existing
model, follow these steps:
 •Useabrushtoapply
Eclipse Model Release
Agent to denture flange
areas. Do not allow Eclipse
Model Release Agent to
come in contact with the
land area of the model.

the borders. Seal all border
areas except within about
1/4 inch of the buccal
frenum attachments. Do
this even if frenum areas
are not very pronounced
or are non-existent.
6. Place the denture/model in
the Eclipse Processing Unit
on the center of the turntable;
then start the curing process.
(Menu #2/Full Partial Dent.)
7. When the cure cycle is
complete, use heat-resistant
gloves (provided) to remove
the denture/model from
the Eclipse Processing Unit.
Then allow the denture/
model to cool until the
denture reaches ambient
temperature. Then separate
the denture from the model.
DO NOT TOUCH WHILE HOT!
ALLOW TO COOL TO ROOM
TEMPERATURE BEFORE
REMOVING CURED GEL! (if
used).
8. RemovethecuredEclipseGel
(if used) and wash away the
Eclipse Air Barrier Coating
with water and a soft brush.
9. Remount the denture(s) and
verify occlusion.
10. Finish denture using a lathe
or handpiece and polish in
the usual manner.
II. Removable Partial
Dentures
Framework Design: Use large
gauge retentive mesh for saddle
areas. This will improve the
ability to adapt the material and
minimize the chance of cure

6
shadows or air entrapment. Solid
metal areas should be minimized
and used only where strength
of the framework is a concern.
Rounded mesh designs are also
better than the square patterns.
If possible, use a 1mm (26 gauge)
block out thickness.
A. Baseplate
1. Box and pour the master
model. The land area of the
model should be 1 mm or less
above the depth of the sulcus
to allow light penetration for
complete curing.
2. Due to undercuts, a duplicate
or working model may be
required for articulation
and set-up. The baseplate
must be cured on the master
model.
3. Paint a thin layer of Al-Cote
Separating Agent on the
dry master model and allow
separator to dry completely.
NOTE: Since the baseplate
and set-up will become the final
prosthesis, cleanliness is very
important to an acceptable
outcome.
4. Heat the master model to
120-130°F (49-54°C) in the
Dentpsly Sirona Conditioning
Oven set at 131°F (55°C).
Heating time will vary
depending on the number of
models in the Dentpsly Sirona
Conditioning Oven and the
water content of the gypsum.
Temperature Indicators
(provided) placed on model
will turn black when model is
at the proper temperature.
5. Cut an appropriate section
from an Eclipse Baseplate
Resin arch. Apply Baseplate
Resin with the rounded
side to the crest of the
ridge of the warm model
and work material to the
desired extension. Avoid air
entrapment.
6. Warm the cast partial
framework in the Dentpsly
Sirona Conditioning Oven
or with the Dentpsly Sirona
HotAirGun;thenseatthe
warmed framework onto the
model and into the baseplate
material. Make sure the rests
and tissue stops are fully
seated.
7. Adapt the baseplate material
around retentive frame areas,
using finger pressure.
8. Trim excess Baseplate Resin
from around the major
connector with the Dentpsly
Sirona Wax Pencil Pro;
temperature set at 3 o’clock
position is suggested. Add
resin as needed to complete
the saddle area.
9. Apply Eclipse Air Barrier
Coating to the entire surface
of the baseplate. Within
10 minutes, place it in the
Eclipse Processing Unit;
then start the processing
sequence for partial
baseplate. (Menu #3/Partial
Baseplate)
10. Allow baseplate/model to
cool to ambient temperature.
11. Soak model/partial in tap
water for 5 to 15 minutes
to facilitate removal. If
necessary, section the model
carefully with a separating
disc from the underside prior
to removal.
12. Trim and smooth the
baseplate borders.
13. For the Hybrid Denture
Technique (Eclipse Baseplate
Resin & Lucitone 199®), refer
to Eclipse Wax Remover
Directions For Use.
B. Occlusal Rims
1. If bite registration is required,
return to the clinician for
occlusal records.
2. When returned, mount
the models using the bite

7
registration. Transfer any
necessary occlusal markings.
Completely clean all traces
of bite registration material
from the baseplate (while
on the model) by rinsing
with clean boiling water
or use a lab steamer. DO
NOT IMMERSE IN BOILING
WATER. Complete removal
of wax is critical to success.
3. Allow the baseplate to cool to
room temperature while still
on the model.
4. Roughen the entire outer
surface of the baseplate
with a coarse carbide bur or
diamond to enhance bonding.
A butt joint is recommended
about 1-2mm above the depth
of the sulcus. The goal is to
eliminate feathered edges of
Contour Resin on the flange.
5. Clean the entire prepared
surface, thoroughly
scrubbing with a clean
denture brush and tap water;
then dry. Following this, use a
brush and isopropyl or ethyl/
denatured alcohol to clean
the surface; then blow dry
with clean compressed air.

partial dentures. Place the partial
denture in the Eclipse Processing
Unit and cure. (Menu #2/Full/
Partial Dent.)
III. OPTIONAL METHOD
FOR FULL AND PARTIAL
DENTURES
Conventional dental wax can be
used to set teeth in combination
with an Eclipse processed
baseplate to make a try-in
denture.
1. After receipt of the try-in
denture from the dental
professional, use a matrix to
establish tooth position in
relation to the model. Then
remove the wax from the
processed baseplate and
teeth.
2. When using plastic teeth,
prepare the teeth using
Eclipse Bonding Agent. See
Bonding Agent Directions
For Use and follow the
Step-By-Step instructions.
(Mechanical retention is an
alternative method that may
be used at this point.)
If you prefer to
use mechanical
retention,
directions are
as follows:
Anterior
teeth: Use
keyed retention slots and
cut a collar groove around
the tooth or in the lingual/
gingival area.
Posterior teeth: Use keyed
retention slots or cut a collar
groove around the tooth if
insucient vertical dimension
exists to cut the keyed slots.
Keyed Retention Slots: Use a
handpiece and the Dentpsly
Sirona Knife Edged Diamond
(Re-order #905128) to cut
two keyed retention slots
into each tooth as shown.
It is important that the two
slots are not made parallel
to each other. Maximize the
distance between the slots
and cut at a 45˚ angle. The
slot depth should be 1 to 1.5
mm deep for small to large
teeth respectively. Similarly
the slot width should be
0.75 to 1.5 mm for small to
Retention
slots
Collar
groove

8
large teeth
respectively.
Collar
Groove: Use
a handpiece and the
Dentpsly Sirona Collar
GrooveDiamond(Re-order
#905129) to grind a groove
into the collar area of the
tooth as shown here. The
collar retention should be a
groove and not a slot. There
should be no sharp angles
in the groove. The groove
should be positioned 0.5 to
1.0 mm from the edge of the
ridge lap for small to large
teeth respectively. Similarly,
the groove depth should be
0.5 to 1.0 mm for small to
large teeth respectively.
Clean the ridge lap area by
lightly scrubbing with a clean,
dry sti brush; then blow with
clean compressed air.
3. Melt the bottom of the
Set-Up Resin with the flat
surface of the Dentpsly
Sirona Wax Pencil Pro Tip;
then apply Set-up Resin to
the roughened processed
baseplate. Heat with the
Dentpsly Sirona Hot Air
GuntosoftentheSet-up
Resin. Reposition the teeth/
matrix onto the processed
baseplate. Using Dentpsly
Sirona Wax Pencil Pro, melt
Set-up Resin around each
tooth to ensure that there are
no air voids. Finish denture
using Contour Resin as
desired.
IV. Denture /
Partial Denture Relines
A. Partial Dentures
1. Box and pour reline
impression in dental stone.
2. Remove boxing wax and trim
cast on a model trimmer to
desired dimensions and key
or index model. The land
area of the model should be
1 mm or less above the depth
of the sulcus to allow light
penetration for complete
curing.
NOTE: For best results and to
eliminate the need to box and
pour, a “pick-up” impression
should be taken over the seated
partial denture and natural teeth.
Apply Eclipse Model Release
Agent to the underside of the
major connector to prevent the
stone from locking the frame to
the cast.
3. Sparingly lubricate the
denture teeth with Eclipse
Model Release Agent, and
also lubricate the top of
the cast with Eclipse Model
Release Agent.
4. Using a standard reline jig,
articulator, or duplicator,
attach the model to the
upper member with mounting
plaster and allow the plaster
to harden.
5. Make a thick mix of mounting
plaster, attach it to the lower
member of the articulator,
jig, or duplicator, and close
the mounted denture into the
plaster mix to a 1/3 depth of
the denture teeth.
6. Carefully remove the
denture/model from the
mounting. Carefully remove
the denture from the model
and heat the model in the
Dentpsly Sirona Conditioning
Oven set at 131°F (55°C) for
at least 30 minutes to drive
o moisture.
7. Completely remove the
impression material and any
adhesive from the denture
base and grind o 1/3 of the
flange area from the resin
saddle. If the cast mesh
retention element of the
framework does not allow 1/3
of the resin to be removed,
Collar
groove

9
grind the flange area just
to the edge of the retention
mesh. Take care not to
expose the mesh. Remove
enough material from the
ridge area to allow ample
Eclipse Baseplate Resin
to flow under the saddle
area.Grindtheedgesofthe
flange to a beveled joint
configuration.
8. Clean the entire prepared
surface, thoroughly
scrubbing with a clean
denture brush and tap water;
then dry. Following this, use a
brush and isopropyl or ethyl/
denatured alcohol to clean
the surface; then blow dry
with clean compressed air.
9. Remove the cast from
the Dentpsly Sirona
Conditioning Oven and place
a temperature indicator on
the model. Apply a thin coat
of Al-Cote Separating Agent
to the model and allow to dry.
Place the mounted model and
the denture in its index in the
Dentpsly Sirona Conditioning
Oven until the temperature
indicator turns black.
10. Remove sucient amount
of Eclipse Baseplate Material
from the package to
complete the reline. Remove
the cast from the Dentpsly
Sirona Conditioning Oven,
adapt the Eclipse Baseplate
Resin onto the tissue areas,
and place the cast back in the
Dentpsly Sirona Conditioning
Oven for 1 minute to soften
the resin.
11. Remove the cast and denture
from the Dentpsly Sirona
Conditioning Oven and
further warm the saddle area
of the partial denture with
the Dentpsly Sirona Hot Air
Gun.Placethedentureonto
the cast, slowly compressing
the Eclipse Baseplate Resin
until the rests are fully seated
into their stops. Verify the
occlusion by replacing the
cast/denture assembly in the
jig.
12. Remove the cast from the
jig and, using the Dentpsly
Sirona Wax Pencil Pro;
smooth the junction between
the cured and uncured resins.
Take care not to entrap air.
Warm the contoured areas
slightly with the Dentpsly
SironaHotAirGun.
13. Apply Eclipse Air Barrier
Coating to the denture saddle
areas and place into the
Eclipse Processing Unit and
cure. (Menu #4/Tooth/ID/
Reline SD1)
14. Allow to cool to ambient
temperature and then
carefully remove the partially
cured reline from the model.
Coat the tissue bearing
surface with Eclipse Air
Barrier Coating and insert
the denture into the Eclipse
Processing Unit, tissue side
up, and cure. (Menu #6/
Repair/Reline SD2)
15. After curing, allow the
denture to cool to ambient
temperature and wash o the
Eclipse Air Barrier Coating
with a brush and water.
16. Finish and polish in the usual
manner.
B. Full Denture
1. Follow Steps 1 through 6
as outlined in the Partial
Denture Reline technique.
2. Trim ⅓ of the remaining
flange to a beveled joint
configuration. Remove palate
on full upper to ¼” of lingual
of teeth.
3. Clean the entire prepared
surface, thoroughly
scrubbing with a clean
denture brush and tap water;
then dry. Following this, use a
