SUBJECT: MouthPiece Bite Plate
I was wondering if anyone has tried to use a product by the Majestic Drug company called D.O.C Denture Repair? It looks like it maybe suitable for bite blate replacements. I'm not sure but I think its a white powder tht you mix with a hardner. It says its FDA approved for oral care. http://www.majesticdrug.com/denrepair.htm Thanks, Brandon Keller

Note from Paul Coats--I just received this from one of my correspondents, a dentist himself: Paul, Thank you for your response. I have over the years gained a reputation for treating musicians and at times their mouthpieces. My most famous dental patient is Maynard Ferguson, who had me mentioned in an article of Windplayer Magazine. The most important thing about using various resins is the leeching that can sometimes occur and especially in the presence of the oral cavity. I use something that is made for dental temporaries called Duralay. It is a tooth colored material and is considered a polycarbonate. I have used it numerous times and it can be polished to a high lustre. The old Dukoffs seemed to be ones that I did most often and it was important to make sure the old stuff was completely out, and usually it came out in one piece. Thanks again for the information on the Holton. I traded a buddy of mine for dental work for his wife. He plays this horn and found mine on Ebay and rebuilt the whole horn. I play mostly tenor and alto with a big band, but always wanted to just keep the soprano around for quick warmups at home. Let me know if I can be of any further help.
