Heat curing injection system passion vision innovation

The technique makes the difference INJECTION TECHNIQUE The success of the SR Ivocap Injection System is based on its well thought-out technique. With conventional denture fabrication techniques, the chemical shrinkage of the polymethyl methacrylate during polymerization results in inaccuracies of fit. The SR Ivocap Injection System features controlled heat/pressure polymerization, during which the exact amount of material keeps flowing into the flask to compensate acrylic shrinkage. The SR Ivocap injection procedure permits the fabrication of high-quality dentures that fit outstandingly and...

The advantages of a good idea The SR Ivocap Injection System has successfully held its ground for decades. Thousands of laboratories have decided in favour of this sophisticated technique and many more people worldwide enjoy the comfort of wearing dentures that fit precisely. ADVANTAGES FOR DENTAL TECHNICIANS Bond Pressure/heat polymerization enables both a high degree of polymerization and an excellent adhesive bond to resin teeth. Controlled polymerization prevents an increase in vertical dimension and spherical deformation. As a result, timeconsuming adjustments of occlusion can...

Optimum shrinkage compensation enables the fabrication of dentures that demonstrate exceptional accuracy of fit. Since processing-related increases in vertical dimension do not occur with SR Ivocap, wax patterns can be exactly reproduced. Destruction of occlusal morphology caused by time-consuming adjustments can virtually be eliminated. Cleaning The special polishing properties help reduce the build-up of plaque.

Intelligent components PRESSURE APPARATUS Consistent pressure enables controlled injection-moulding of the denture base material. This technique ensures continuous shrinkage compensation. Thorough mixing helps dissolve the polymer in the monomer quickly and cleanly. POLYMERIZATION BATH* FLASK The excellent material properties are the result of heat polymerization in the polymerization bath. The special thermal insulators ensure the compensation of polymerization shrinkage. CLAMPING FRAME The high clamping forces (3 tons) exerted on the flask prevent increases in vertical dimension. SR...

A component of the BPS® System BPS® (BIOFUNCTIONAL PROSTHETIC SYSTEM) With its carefully coordinated components, the BPS System provides the members of the dental team with the means to fabricate high-quality complete dentures for their patients. For that purpose, the special set-up concept with modelrelated positioning instructions are equally important as the logical occlusal concept with Ivoclar Vivadent teeth and the SR Ivocap pressure/heat injection procedure. The corresponding compulsory education courses ensure that the system produces successful results in dental offices and...
