The Triad light-cured resin system appears to have potential for making processed record bases for special patients. The close adaptation of this material to the dental cast often results in internal voids and defects. These defects are greatly reduced when a dry cast is used instead of one with a high moisture content. Vacuum-assisted adaptation using a sheet of rubber dam in connection with a vacuum adaptor also results in an improved internal surface. Finger pressure alone is not a dependable method of adaptation.
