Do I need to use a face-bow to use an articulator?

MORITA.........................................................................................................13 1

Are Whip Mix Articulators interchangeable and why is having an articulator that is interchangeable important to me?

Yes. With the exception of the original Model #8500 Articulator, all Whip Mix semi-adjustable articulators feature the “ACCUMOUNT” system of interchangeability, which makes them interchangeable within like series. The accuracy of interchangeability is within 101 microns.

No you do not. However, it is recommended to provide as much patient information as possible when reproducing the patient’s occlusion. Taking a face-bow is not difficult or time consuming, as seen here. Another option, if not taking a face-bow, would be to use a mounting platform to get casts at Bonwills Equilateral Triangle.

5 KURARAY NORITAKE ..................................................................................13 Cost savings. There is no need to purchase several articulators for your practice/laboratory. Using an articulator that is interchangeable allows you to exchange mounted casts between like articulators without loss of accuracy. Only the mounted casts need to be sent between the doctor’s office and the laboratory. There is an additional saving in shipping cost for the weight of the articulator being sent back and forth between the doctor’s office and the laboratory. Finally, you would eliminate repairs that are a result of the articulator being damaged in transit between the office and laboratory.

How can I tell if my articulator is out of alignment?

Fortunately Whip Mix Articulators are extremely durable. With normal care and maintenance you will probably never need to have it re-calibrated. However, in the unfortunate event that it gets damaged due to being dropped or knocked off the workbench, you may need to send it back for re-calibration.

GC...........................................................................................................14, 15

A quick and easy way to check for damage would be to do the following: look for any parts on the articulator that appear bent (i.e. brass face-bow mounting pins, incisal guide pin, or incisal guide pin screw). Set the right and left side shift guides to the 10 degree mark on the Model #2340, 3000, and 4000 Series Articulators, and set the side shift guide to the zero mark on the Model #2240Articulator; release the centric latch and elastic straps if available on your model; check to see if there is any side-to-side movement of the upper member. If you detect any movement it is possible that damage has occurred.

EDUCATION & EVENTS ...............................................................................16 2 Do you have an accessory that allows me to make a custom incisal guide table that’s also reusable?

2

Orders: 1300 65 88 11

Yes, the Dovetail Incisal Block. During the wax-up procedure on the mounted stone casts, the laboratory technician or dentist may have to move the casts through frequent excursive movements on the articulator to check the positioning of the wax to ensure ideal occlusion is achieved. During this procedure wearing away of the stone casts is likely. To prevent this unwanted wear, a custom incisal guide table made out of auto polymerising acrylic resin should be fabricated either on the flat plastic Incisal Guide Table that comes with the articulator (but is disposable) or on our metal Dovetail Incisal Block (which you can reuse).

3

Can I convert my articulator over to the magnetic system? If so, how?

Many semi-adjustable articulators on the market can be retrofitted

Another way to verify if damage has occurred is to remove the plastic incisal guide table from the articulator. With the side shift guides locked in place as described above, lock the centric latch to secure the upper member.

Then, lower the incisal pin slightly and secure it. Check to see if the incisal guide pin will slide freely through the slot on the lower

ARTICLE PUK WELDER SEMINAR REVIEW

The Laboratory Division of Henry Schein Halas hosted the second Lampert Laser Welder Roadshow in Australia during March 2015. Due to popular demand we were able to bring Claus Reith, Specialist Laboratory Technician and Technical Trainer at Lampert, Germany back to Australia.

Claus travelled straight from IDS in Cologne, bringing with him the latest technology from Lampert: The PUK D2 welder with newly launched, innovative electrodes and chrome cobalt welding wire.

The second Australian Lampert roadshow took place in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane and we were overwhelmed with the response of customers who attended at each venue. Claus Reith’s seminars catered for customers who already have the PUK D2 Welding Device in a ‘Master class’ to refine the techniques further. In addition to that he also offered ‘Precision Welding Workshop’ for complete beginners where he shows and instructs the customers how to work with the PUK D2. All customers walked away confidently with background knowledge for PUK welding, practical training. Claus also shared some special tricks to weld difficult applications.

Customers were especially impressed with the intuitive operation of the PUK D2. The controller with its intuitive user interface through the touch display, the welding microscope and the rapid precision handpiece together form a perfectly matched welding system. It‘s the interaction between all of these elements that makes reliable and reproducible welding possible – the perfect device for every dental laboratory.

The technique of PUK welding is easy to learn. However, customers should take enough time to familiarise themselves with the device. Customers can use the supplied stainless steel plates to practice material application, play with the power and welding time regulators or weld a clean joint. Change the electrode‘s angle to the workpiece and see what happens. With a little practice, customers will achieve very good results very quickly.

THE TOOTH LINE VITA MFT – MULTI FUNCTIONAL TEETH EFFICIENT WORKING PROCEDURES FOR FUNCTION AND AESTHETICS IN COMPLETE DENTURE PROSTHODONTICS With the „VITA MFT“ denture teeth for universal application, the laboratory can implement an efficient aesthetic and functional concept. On account of their specifically developed morphology, the teeth are easy to set up and feature a natural appearance. Furthermore, their opalescence, fluorescence and translucency facilitate the achievement of good anterior aesthetics. The streamlined assortment of moulds simplifies tooth selection for the laboratory‘s particular case. These acrylic denture teeth are suitable for all prosthodontics applications.

The name „MFT“ stands for „Multifunctional Teeth“.

This multifunctional concept comprises both anteriors and posteriors in a single tooth line (fig. 1), and also ensures universal application and compatibility with all current setup methods. It covers the areas of both conventional and implant-borne complete dentures as well as partial and telescopic dentures.

The teeth are easy to set up: they find their centric position, as it were, all by themselves („Easy centric concept“). This refers in particular to an exactly calculated cusp-fossa relationship, the flatter cuspal inclination and the preabraded occlusal surfaces. This occlusal design also permits the efficient lingualised setup which minimises horizontal shear forces. That stabilises the prosthesis during the process of mastication and increases its longevity.

FiFig. 1) VITA MFT anterior and posterior teeth sets

Efficiency in the dental laboratory is furthermore ensured by the lean mould assortment comprising the categories oval, triangular and square in addition to equidistant size distribution of the teeth sets. This enables quick selection of the appropriate teeth set.

The patients thus benefit from this mould assortment design, since it supports natural dental harmony and phonetics, even in the case of a difficult anatomical situation prior to treatment.

Shade selection is equally fast. Eight tooth shades are available, based on the VITA System 3D-Master with its equidistant distribution of shades within natural tooth colour space. Classification tables to the VITA classical A1-D4 system are also given for the benefit of new users. Furthermore, the three-layer structure, in addition to the opalescence, fluorescence and translucency and the lifelike surface structure in the anterior area ensure a high standard of aesthetics following nature‘s model. The convex labial structure supports the lip contour and restores the harmony of the patient‘s facial profile. The broadened cervical area facilitates age-appropriate design of the papilla.

This has the advantage that the patient can quickly accept and identify with the new prosthesis.

Laboratories using VITA MFT can benefit from the time-saving working steps and the high degree of productivity. Thanks to the excellent function of the prosthesis and the high-quality red and white aesthetics, technicians can ensure the satisfaction of their dentist customers (fig. 2). The patient‘s natural appearance is restored. Along with restored chewing comfort, this gives the patient renewed quality of life.

Fig. 2 The VITA MFT teeth ensure good aesthetics and chewing comfort.

Headquartered in Bad Säckingen/Germany, VITA Zahnfabrik H. Rauter GmbH & Co. KG has been developing, producing and marketing innovative solutions for dental prosthetics according to consistently high quality standards for over 85 years, and has been known from the very beginning as a pioneer and worldwide trendsetter.
