2. Bredent’s “New” K2 Wax
3. Technical Education Facility Open
4. OC Female Technical Alert
Recently one of our Quebec dental lab customers called to place an order for VKS attachment refills. He mentioned that there were some problems with the combination cases. The removable cast partial without the VKS attachments were not seating properly and were tight. Our technical support staff asked the customer about their lab procedure. We learned that the lab would fabricate the crowns with the male attachment and then send it to the dental office where the dentist would pick up the crown in a rubber base impression. Back at the lab the models and the removable cast partial were then processed. Somewhere during the process, accuracy was lost and thus seating problems occurred. Our suggestion was to use a VKS metal analogue. The crowns are first cemented and then a rubber based impression taken. At the lab the analogues are placed into the impression and the model poured. You now have a model with VKS metal males that will not move during cast partial production Our customer was convinced that we had a solution for his problem and promptly purchased a package of analogues for his lab.

We have just found out about a potential problem that you should inform your dentist about. If your dentists are using the VKS attachments from Bredent, inform them not to have the patient bite their dentures into place. This causes premature wearing of the male. Passive insertion using the finger’s pressure is recommended.
Don’t forget that cost performance is considered much more than price. High product quality eases the buyer’s price sensitivity. Nearly 90% of buyers agreed that paying more for quality products and services is more cost effective in the end. Quality adds Value.
