182: Collaboration, Communication, and Caring with Eric Kukucka DD

When you think of world-famous Denturist, who comes to mind? Because of the lack of legal states in America, the list is short. But there is one gentleman out of Windsor, Canada who has been promoting the profession for years online. Eric Kukucka, from the Denture Center, comes on the podcast to talk about finding out that he wanted to be a denturist at a young age, getting in to school, partnering with Ivoclar and 3shape, opening a few practices, and helping develop the complete digital workflow when it comes to removables. Whip Mix’s new Veriwash resin cleaning station is the ideal piece of equipment to use in the 3D printed resin post process. It’s oscillating, multi-speed stirrer produces a tornado-like vortex every 30-seconds, and guarantees efficient, effective and powerful cleaning whether the units are individual or still attached to the build plate. The two alcohol baths make an effective step-wash system. It cleans more efficiently and there is less alcohol needed, since it is re-used for both a fresh bath and a dirty bath. The VeriWash’s intelligent design offers features such as Mode, Time, and Start/Stop button display which gives the operator full and automatic control of the cleaning process. A mesh basket used in the wash container makes it easy to keep track of small printed parts when cleaning. The affordable unit’s one-year warranty ensures peace-of-mind for the owner.
