De Thermeo frees schijven van pro3dure hebben een flexibel, slim, duurzaam en comfortabel eigenschap. Deze zijn te verkrijgen in diktes van 16, 20 en 25 mm.
THERMEO® is flexible.
Who doesn’t know it – “crooked impressions” during conventional impression taking or imperfections during intraoral scanning that lead to “data holes” on the surface of the generated data set? A conventional hard splint then wobbles on the plaster model and thus in the patient’s mouth. The splint is exposed to greater tension at this point, the risk of breakage is significantly increased and the patient complains about a lack of wearing comfort. The unique THERMEO® splint material compensates for such inaccuracies with its patented thermomemory effect. The THERMEO® material becomes flexible at body temperature and adapts optimally to the tooth surface. This increases the wearing comfort of the splint and minimizes the risk of breakage. THERMEO® thus supports the satisfaction of the dental technician, dentist and patient through greater safety, exceptional wearing comfort and fewer “recalls”.
THERMEO® is smart.
Smart materials/responsive materials are materials that react independently to changing environmental conditions such as temperature. This reaction is reversible. The high-tech plastics of the THERMEO® family belong to this group of smart materials and are characterised by a unique patented thermomemory effect. In comparison with hard dental splints, inaccuracies during impression taking can therefore be compensated for with a THERMEO® splint. THERMEO® products can also be used to produce functional therapeutic bite splints. THERMEO® splints are characterised by a high level of wearing comfort and are self-adjusting due to the thermomemory effect. The special properties of THERMEO® combine the advantages of both hard and soft splint materials.
THERMEO® is comfortable.
THERMEO® meets the highest medical technology standards. For example, THERMEO® does not use phthalate-based plasticisers, but instead uses a patented flexibilisation technology that ensures unique biocompatibility in this material class. Compared to other suppliers, this results in a significantly higher pressure drop on the tooth after insertion of the splint (Fig. 1 and 2), which in turn increases the wearing comfort for the patient. In addition, the thermomemory effect and thus the resilience of the THERMEO® material is greater than with competitors due to the technology used (Fig. 3). The THERMEO® splint returns to its original position faster and more precisely due to body temperature. THERMEO® can be processed conventionally using the casting or stamping-press technique or integrated into the digital workflow in the form of THERMEO® blanks. The blanks are available in thicknesses of 16, 20 and 25 mm. This allows tooth-supported and also soft-tissue-supported splints to be efficiently manufactured. Both the powder/liquid system and the milling rounds are also available as THERMEO® SO in the colours A1, A2 and A3 for the manufacture of “snap-on splints”.
THERMEO® is durable.
The materials of the THERMEO® family, characterized by their exceptional wearing comfort, are developed for durability. The stability of the material was documented in an extensive chewing simulation study conducted by LMU Munich**. Despite the higher flexibility and higher resilience of THERMEO® compared to its competitors on the market, comparable wear values were determined. This increases patient comfort without reducing the clinical benefit. In addition, amine compounds and MMA were avoided in the development of THERMEO® in order to reduce the yellowing of the material and the potential for irritation and sensitization. In addition, tested cleaning recommendations for THERMEO® are available to the patient in order to sustainably guarantee the special properties over the entire life of the THERMEO® splint.
