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.

• 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.
  

• 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.
