LAB DAY Product Launch: Heraeus Expands Mondial Denture Tooth Line
LMT Communications, Inc. · LAB DAY · Apr 2012
To meet the needs of implant, geriatric and TMJ patients, Heraeus Kulzer launched its Mondial 8i-5° posterior tooth line. "New indication areas such as implant prosthetics are placing increased demands...See more on the stability, function and esthetics of denture teeth," said Lesley Melvin, Heraeus Laboratory Product Manager. "That's why we've worked so closely with leading technicians to ensure that our Mondial 8i-5° posterior teeth complement our existing Mondial and Mondial i teeth to give dental practices and laboratories a comprehensive denture teeth line that is unsurpassed for its natural appearance, comfort and reliability." Like Mondial and Mondial i teeth, Mondial 8i-5° posteriors feature Heraeus' NanoPearls® filler material that offers color stability and resistance to fracture, abrasion and plaque. Since the manufacturing process is identical, all three lines can be used in combination. The key features of the new tooth line are: •The flat occlusal morphology of the teeth ensure precise centrics and freedom in the paths of movement. The naturally reduced cusp angle minimizes shear forces and offers chewing efficiency with comfortable, interference-free, accurate function. The flattened multipoint contact area of the teeth minimizes the initial abrasion on implant cases. They offer a smooth, functional and easily cleaned morphology for geriatric patients and are ideal for TMJ therapy because of their exact centric keying and wide range of motion. •The wider tooth base offers esthetics in both implant and combination work and allows shaping of the gums so the patient can easily clean his prosthesis. The greater basal width and tooth length conceal the tertiary and implant structures. •Because of the unique centrics, technicians can set up the Mondial 8i-5° posteriors easily and securely.

The technician-participants displayed...See more their proficiency in removables by fabricating a fully removable upper and lower bar-retained overdenture. Taking first prize and winning $1,000 is Arian Deutsch, Deutsch Dental Arts, Surprise, AZ; second place and $750 went to Jonathan Trotter, Choate Ceramic Lab, Conroe, TX; and in third place is Andrea Hegedus, Great Lakes Smile Design Studio, Muskegon, MI, who wins $500. All three cases are now entered into Candulor's International KunstZahnWerk competition, which it has held since 2001, with winners announced at the 2013 IDS in Cologne, Germany. Winners in other categories are: - Jack Edwards, Jack Edwards Dental Studio, Fullerton, CA; Andrea Hegedus; and Choate Ceramic Lab for Best Digital Documentation. - Joe Minuk, Minuk Denture Clinic and Dental Implant Centre, Manitoba, Canada for Top Canadian Case. - Gary Reininga, H & R Dental, Stephenville, TX for Creative Implant Solution. - Rochdi Baladi, Ryan Wrobel and Al Faschingbauer, Valley Dental Arts, Stillwater, MN for Team Collaboration. "The purpose of the competition is to challenge and inspire participants to create and execute the highest level of quality work in their field and this year's cases were no exception," said Ted Smudde, Managing Director of Candulor U.S. The contestants were required to set up the cases in lingualized occlusion using the Gerber technique and submit them on the Candulor Articulator. They received all materials free of charge, including plaster models and Candulor Composite NFC denture teeth from Candulor and implant components from Camlog. The cases were reviewed by a panel of five judges--including a university professor, dentist, two master dental technicians and a Candulor specialist--and all entries were displayed in the Candulor gallery in the Sheraton Hotel during LAB DAY.
