title: Equipping a dental laboratory: fabricating a pressure pot.
abstract: A pressure pot has many applications in dentistry. This article describes a simple method of converting an everyday kitchen pressure cooker into one that can be used in dentistry. The technique is simple, and the components needed are readily available at a local hardware or department store. The advantage of this pressure pot is that it can be made for one third to one half the cost of purchasing one from a manufacturer.
