DR. GY YATROS KENTUCKY ENGINEERING & THE TAP 3 ELITE ealing with dental D devices requires equal parts artistry and science. Prior to dental school, engineering was my thing which means I’m prone to tinkering. I successfully use the TAP 3 Elite for many of my patients, but every once in a while, I’ll have one where after some wear and tear, the hook begins retruding at night. Of course, I could always send it back to the lab but depending on the amount of time the patient has had the device, the warranty may not apply. More importantly, the patient will be without their TAP for several nights. In this video, I’ll demonstrate a bit of Kentucky engineering using ThermAcryl so you can have your team member quickly fix the issue and sleep soundly with their appliance that night.
