Pneumatic vessels used in dentistry provide a pressurized environment to enhance the outcome of many laboratory procedures. A pressurized environment directs volume loss associated with polymerization shrinkage, minimizes air inclusions in powder/liquid mixtures, raises the boiling point of liquids, and facilitates flow of impression and replication materials, improving surface detail. The following report illustrates the usefulness of a reliable pneumatic vessel during denture base repair resin processing and replication of pattern details.
