DPI Pinnacle Greenstick Compound is a dental material used for border molding. Border molding is the process of adapting a border of a dental impression material to the contours of the oral mucosa (soft tissues in the mouth) in order to produce an accurate impression of the patient's gums and teeth. \n \nPinnacle Greenstick Compound is a thermoplastic compound that softens when heated and becomes pliable, allowing the dentist to shape it easily to the contours of the patient's gums. It is used to create a precise impression of the oral tissues for the fabrication of dental prostheses such as dentures. 

Features: 

• It is a thermoplastic, green-colored compound that softens at a temperature of about 150-160 degrees Celsius.
  
• The material has good flow properties and adapts well to the contours of the oral tissues, making it ideal for border molding.
  
• Good tear strength and elasticity, which helps to produce a durable and accurate impression.
  
• Moderate setting time, which allows the dentist enough time to shape and adjust the material before it hardens.
  
• Single-use material and should not be reused or sterilized after use.
  

• 1x Box of 10 sticks(90gm)
  

• Start by selecting the appropriate size and shape of the greenstick compound stick for the area that needs border molding.
  
• Hold the greenstick compound and heat it over a flame (such as a Bunsen burner) until it becomes molten.
  
• Carefully drip or apply the molten greenstick compound onto the border of the custom dental tray
  
• Use your fingers or a modeling instrument to shape the molten greenstick compound to the contours of the oral tissues.
  
• Use a moistened finger or instrument to smooth out any irregularities or air pockets in the border molding compound.
  
• Perform various types of movements to record intraoral soft tissue landmarks.
  
• Once the border molding is completed, allow the compound to cool and harden for a few minutes before removing the impression tray from the mouth
