BPS® Dentures
Our second best denture offering. BPS® Dentures are precision dentures that provide optimum function while eating, speaking or laughing.
The BPS® system utilizes a modular and standardized approach to denture construction. Following a strict protocol to assure success of the prostheses.
Ivoclar teeth such as “SR Vivodent PE” are natural like teeth that recreate the character of your smile. They are made of three layers of cross linked or double cross linked acrylic reins that contribute to their life like appearance and well known resistance to wear.
BPS® impressions are made utilizing the Accu-Dent impression system.
A Stratos 200 or 300 Ivoclar articulator is used to strategically position the teeth.
BPS® Dentures are made using the SR Ivocap processing system. This unique system uses continues heat and injection to produce dentures that are comfortable and functional.
BPS® Dentures are made to restore the natural look of your lips and support of your facial muscles.
BPS® Dentures are extremely life-like, comfortable, functional and durable.
The three core components of the BPS system are:
- Stratos® articulator system
- Ivoclar Vivadent denture teeth
- the SR Ivocap® injection moulding system
BPS® Core components
- Stratos 200 or 300 articulator
The Ivoclar Stratos 300 is an individually adjustable articulator. With its newly constructed joint mechanics, all the important parameters can be continuously set; including the protrusion angle, Bennett angle and immediate side-shift, as well as, lateral, retrusive and protrusive eccentric movements can be accomplished.
Thus, the Ivoclar Vivadent prosthetic system offers an articulator for complex denture prosthetics for the first time ever.
- Ivoclar teeth
SR VIVODENT PE, SR ORTHOSIT PE, BLUE LINE, ORTHOLINGUAL & ORTHOPLANE
The Ivoclar teeth are manufactured using a layering process that produces a natural opalescence. Lifelike characterizations, such as demineralization points, are captured within every tooth.
- Ivocap injection moulding processing system
The SR Ivocap® system uses a controlled heat/pressure polymerization procedure during which time the exact amount of material flows into the flask to compensate for Shrinkage which ensures a perfect fit.
This pressure also optimizes the physical properties of the SR Ivocap® High Impact denture base material and enhances the bond of the acrylic teeth to the base. An increase in the vertical dimension of the denture is also avoided.
SR Ivocap® Advantages:
- Complete polymerization - reduced irritation to the gums from free monomer
- Strong - extremely dense material reduces the chances of breakage. Dentures are guaranteed against breakage for two years.
- Clean – because of the injection process the denture base become non porous limiting the traditional odour expected from dentures.
- Accuracy – again, due to the injection moulding process, conventional imensional changes do not occur. Dentures are accurate and they fit as expected.
- Health – because BPS dentures are accurate, none irritating, comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, patients can eat better than conventional dentures.
- Esthetics – Due to the natural appearance of Ivoclar teeth, resistance to wear and the attention to detail and precision incorporated during the construction of the dentures, dentures appear as natural as possible, so patients can smile, speak and laugh with confidence
- Fit - due to extreme care incorporated in the construction of the dentures, it results into a better fitting, more comfortable prostheses (dentures that will require fewer adjustment appointments)
- Normally BPS® Dentures require 5 – 7 Appointments, however the number of appointments could be reduced to four appointments only, but the time per appointment will increase accordingly.
