| Injection Perfection Precision Heat Curing of Dental Acrylics with the SR Ivocap Injection System |
|
In 1976 the SR Ivocap System was launched. This leading edge injection system revolutionized the field of dental prosthetics. Since the introduction of SR Ivocap, more than 9000 quality laboratories throughout the world have taken advantage of this exceptionally precise processing system.
Denture base acrylics are subject to chemical shrinkage during polymerization. As a result, the finished dentures often exhibit considerable inaccuracy, particularly if conventional fabrication methods are used.
With SR Ivocap, chemical shrinkage is not an issue. The SR Ivocap system is based on a special injection technique that is capable of compensating for chemical shrinkage. Controlled heat/pressure polymerization compensates for acrylic shrinkage by pressure feeding additional material into the mould.
|
| SR Ivocap Advantages To The Patient |
- A healthy mucous membrane – Because of the exceptionally homogeneous denture base, the risk that the dentures will irritate the mucous membrane is reduced.
- Ease of cleaning – The exceptional polish ability of the denture base material, composed of cross-linked, high-impact acrylic reduces the build-up of plaque.
- Comfort – Optimum shrinkage compensation enables the fabrication of dentures that fit precisely.
- High impact strength –The impact modifier, inside the SR Ivocap acrylic, assures high fracture strength.
|
| SR Ivocap Advantages To The Dental Practitioners |
- Saves time with less post insertion adjustments – The SR Ivocap precision technique helps saves time, provides successful results, and ensures a high level of patient satisfaction.
- Accuracy of fit – Controlled polymerization prevents raised bites and spherical deformation. As a result, time-consuming adjustments of occlusion and the destruction of occlusal morphology can virtually be eliminated.
|
|
Complete compensation for polymerization shrinkage will continue to be the Ivocap standard in the fabrication of great fitting dentures.
At Klausz Dental Laboratories, we are proud to be able to provide our clients with this time tested and proven technique.
Consistency – just another way we are working harder and smarter for your practice!

| Soft denture liners provide excellent solutions for patients whose dentures are causing a discomfort. Made of a specially compounded dental plastic, soft denture liners make a substantial difference for "sensitive" patients. |
Situation |
| |
| Most denture patients can wear rigid dentures satisfactorily. Experience has shown, however, that some people have difficulty wearing rigid dentures and would be better served with dentures that have soft liners. There are many reasons patients would need permanent soft liners added to their dentures. For example, when the tissue covering the bone is thin, unyielding, sensitive and easily irritated by denture impingement. There are times when a hard palate cannot comfortably accommodate the conventional rigid denture base. Or when recent surgery or such anatomical irregularities as torus palatinus or mandibularis indicate special consideration for the bearing area. If the underlying ridge is narrow, thin, irregular or spiny; or when, because of the health or age of the patient, indicated surgery is not employed to correct the form or size of the ridges or to remove bony spicules. |
Characteristics |
| |
| The soft lining is a specially compounded dental plastic. This plastic is designed to make dentures more comfortable and efficient despite tissue irregularities. Most patients find that this cushion will remain comfortable for many months. How long it will remain soft depends on many factors, however we use some of the most advanced materials presently available. |

| Klausz Dental Labs' vast experience in the field of removable cosmetic dentistry enables us to offer outstanding cast partial solutions. The key to providing superior cast partial solutions lies in the materials used and in the design of the partial. Our extensive experience has led us to use the finest materials and enabled us to develop highly efficient design techniques. |
Materials |
| |
| For many decades, cast partial dentures have been the method of choice when it came to the rehabilitation of the partially edentulous patient. Cast partials can be made from a variety of materials to match the needs of each individual patient. Dental gold and chromium cobalt have been the standard materials of choice, however, newer, lightweight and more biocompatible metals, such as titanium alloys are now available. |
Design |
| |
| Just as important as the material, is the design of the partial. Not only must the partial fit and function, but it should also provide support to the teeth it is utilizing, as well as be aesthetically pleasing. With our extensive experience in the field of removable cosmetic dentistry, we have come to favour the "Hidden Clasp Partial Denture". It is highly effective in protecting, preserving and strengthening the abutment teeth. It is both retentive and stable, designed to provide the patient with complete comfort. The fact that the clasps are hidden is an aesthetic feature that most patients will appreciate. Viewers can read an article called "Hiding Denture Clasps: A Cosmetic Dilemma -- Stephen H. Abrams, DDS " that is in our Tips Section. |

| Klausz Dental Labs offers a variety of occlusal splints. Following is a brief description of the four different splint types that we offer. Please feel free to contact our lab for further product specific information. |
Horseshoe Splint |
| |
| The Horseshoe Splint is a popular appliance with a flat occlusal surface made from high impact clear acrylic resin. |
Impact Splint |
| |
| The Impact Splint is made from a unique thermo-plastic material and was developed for greater patient comfort. The advanced properties of this material allow it to flex when softened under warm water and thus conforms to the contours of the patient's teeth when inserted. |
Hard/Soft Splint |
| |
| The Hard/Soft Splint was developed for those heavy bruxers and clenchers. Its unique combination of a tough impact resistant occlusal surface with its pliable tooth and tissue side offers your patients the best of both worlds, lasting durability and custom comfort. |
Pankey Splint |
| |
| The Pankey Splint is made from a tooth coloured acrylic resin material. The occlusal scheme is created with one point occlusal contact per posterior tooth, combined with anterior and cuspid guidance. This allows for total posterior disclusion in all excursions. |

| The Adjustable TheraSnore is an exceptionally efficient oral appliance, designed to treat snoring. Clinical trials have shown an efficiency rate of up to 90 percent in the treatment of simple snoring and mild sleep apnea. Besides helping your current patient base, the Adjustable TheraSnore will enable your practice to attract a substantial number of new patients. |
Snoring |
| |
Virtually all of us snore from time to time. In fact, it is estimated that as many as 25% of us snore regularly. For some, snoring is no more than an occasional, inconvenient habit; but chronic, heavy, loud snoring can be more serious.
Snoring usually occurs when a person's airway at the back of the throat constricts, causing air to be inhaled at an increased speed and pressure. This results in the soft tissue in the back of the mouth vibrating, creating the snoring noise. Simple snoring can disturb others and cause a dry mouth or sore throat. Heavy snoring is often a symptom of sleep apnea, which is frequently associated with hypertension, stroke and other cardiopulmonary problems. |
The TheraSnore Appliance |
| |
The Adjustable TheraSnore appliance is a small oral appliance that is worn only during sleep. The upper tray of the device fits securely over the maxilla while the bottom tray prevents the tongue and jaw from dropping back into the airway at night. This allows the upper airway to remain open and permit the patient to breathe more easily while sleeping.
Clinical trials have shown that oral appliances are up to 90% effective in treating simple snoring and mild sleep apnea.
The Adjustable TheraSnore can treat snoring quickly, and easily. It is 87% effective as it positions the mandible from centric to 7.5mm protrusive, in precise 1.5mm increments, treating most cases of snoring. It allows lateral freedom and will not lock the jaws together. When fit correctly, there should be no TMJ discomfort. Comprised of a soft, silicone liner on a hard, acrylic shell, it assures universal fit, stability in the mouth and excellent retention, with little or no trimming. It is easy to adjust and can be moved forward or backwards. The key to its success is the fact that it is comfortable; the compact design results in high patient compliance. |
