Available from DENTSPLY Trubyte®
DENTSPLY Trubyte has made tooth selection and set-up easier than ever for lingualized occlusion cases. The premium brand you’ve come to count on for superior aesthetics and wear resistance - Portrait IPN - now features Portrait IPN Lingualized teeth! Available September 2005.
PORTRAIT IPN Lingualized teeth are offered in three 33° maxillary posterior moulds (30L, 32L and 34L) and five corresponding mandibular posterior moulds, 22° (530 and 532) and 0° (630, 632 and 634). These mould forms minimize if not eliminate the need for grinding in the occlusion. The long lingual design of the Portrait 33° upper moulds provides optimum function in lingualized occlusion set-ups. And, the aesthetic European-style 22° and stable flat plane 0° lower moulds provide a secure food-table to suit any denture case.
With Portrait IPN Lingualized teeth, patients receive an aesthetically pleasing denture that has optimal stability and function. The posterior teeth allow denture wearers to penetrate and crush food for maximum mastication. For patients who have minimal ridge support, Portrait IPN Lingualized teeth are the answer to creating a stable denture. The highly wear-resistant IPN material helps to ensure that dentures maintain the lingualized set-up over time.
The concept of lingualized occlusion has been around for nearly a century; however it has regained popularity in recent years. The technique is a simple yet effective mortar and pestle type movement at the maxillary and mandibular contacting area of the posterior teeth. While DENTSPLY Trubyte has many mould forms that can be set in lingualized occlusion, now it is easier to select and order mould forms ideally suited for the technique. Portrait IPN Lingualized – making lingualized occlusion set-up easier than ever.
