Denture Flask

Denture flasks are dental instruments used in the process of making dentures. They are part of the supply class Dental Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies.

Denture flasks are typically made of metal and consist of two parts: the upper flask and the lower flask. These two parts are used to hold the dental stone or plaster material during the flasking process.

The flasking process involves pouring the dental stone or plaster material into the lower flask, placing the denture mold on top, and then pouring more material into the upper flask. The two flasks are then clamped together to create a tight seal, allowing the material to set and form the shape of the denture.

Once the material has set, the flasks are separated, and the denture is removed from the mold. The denture flask helps to ensure that the dental stone or plaster material sets properly and accurately captures the shape of the denture.

Overall, denture flasks are essential tools in the fabrication of dentures, providing a reliable and efficient way to create high-quality dental prosthetics.
