Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | March 2015a14 INDUSTRY NEWS Ad As the digital evolution in dentistry contin- ues, with the new CAD/CAM techniques, the Rhein’83 research laboratories, under the di- rection of vice president of technology Gianni Storni, have developed a new line of threaded interchangeable attachments. The various product lines include the Spher- ical OT cap line, in micro (1.8 mm diameter) and normo (2.5 mm diameter), together with the new Equator Profile, which is the small- est dimensional attachment in the market. These threaded attachments are screwed di- rectly inside the milled bar, mounting on the special 2.2 mm thread. Or, in cases where the CAD/CAM software produces an overdenture bar without thread- ed holes, Rhein’83 offers a threaded titanium sleeve that can be cemented into the hole of the bar. The threaded sleeve is glued into the hole that will receive the attachment, which is threaded into place. To learn about the threaded interchange- able attachments and other Rhein’83 products in more detail and for more-comprehensive presentations on technical applications, email Rhein’83 at marketing@rhein83.it, or visit online at www.rhein83usa.com, or contact the distributor, American Recov- ery, by phone at (877) 778-8383 or by email at info@rhein83usa.com. About Rhein’83 Rhein’83 was founded in 1983 in Bologna by Ezio Nardi, who was keen on research, specializing in overdentures. Spherical attachments had been on the market for some time, but were made mostly in metal. Rhein developed a series of cast- able attachments with elastic retention, introducing the first “silicon materials” on mobile prosthesis retention. Within a few years, silicon materials would completely replace metal attachments. Today Rhein’83 works with many Italian and foreign universities to test the innova- tions produced by Rhein research and de- velopment. Awards include the MIUR cer- tificate and the “Laboratory of Quality and Excellence” from the Ministry of Research and Development of Health. Research has led to design and produc- tion of components for systems such as Sphero Block (normo and micro) and Sphero Flex allowing to correct divergent implant cases up to 46 degrees. Recently the new low-profile OT Equator attach- ment was developed with a complete sys- tem defined four in one, offering titanium abutments for all implant brands, castable solution for natural teeth, a passive bar connection and a complete line of attach- ments for CAD/CAM applications (avail- able already in the most common dental software world wide). All products are manufactured in titani- um with an additional tin coating bearing the hardness of the surface to more than 1,600 Vikers. The company is also known and recognized for its dentists’ and dental technicians’ reports and its conferences and courses worldwide. Rhein is consid- ered a world-leading producer and distrib- utor of dental attachments, with an active presence and distribution in more than 90 countries. The company operates in accordance with European product certification (Di- rective 93/42 CEE) in addition to UNI EN ISO 9001:08 - UNI CEI EN ISO 13485:12. It also has product certifications in many foreign countries, including the United States, Canada, Russia, Israel, Korea, Brazil and others.
