Instructions for Use
Introduction
Please read these Instructions for Use carefully
and familiarize yourself with the application
techniques.
The prefabricated SR Vivo TAC / SR Ortho TAC tooth line
is a diagnostic, radiopaque tool that is designed to help
dental technicians fabricate implant-supported
restorations. Because of their special composition, these
teeth are radiopaque.
Advantages
– A defined radiopacity achieved through industrial
fabrication
– Moulds corresponding to those of the popular
SR Vivodent / SR Orthotyp and SR Vivodent PE /
SR Orthotyp PE tooth lines
– Easily prepared diagnostic aid
– The shape of radiopaque teeth can be modified with
radiopaque monomers and polymers
– Strong bond with heat-curing as well as cold-curing
polymers
– Prefabricated radiopaque teeth save time in the
fabrication of stents
– The teeth ensure the accurate placement of dental
implants during the planning phase
– Homogeneous dispersion of the radiopaque material
in the teeth
Composition
The resin teeth are composed of the following
ingredients:
Polymethyl methacrylate and barium sulphate
66–67 wt%
Methyl methacrylate and dimethacrylate 33–34 wt%
Additional components: catalysts and stabilizers
0.5 wt%
Modifier Monomer:
Methyl methacrylate and dimethacrylate 99 wt%
Catalysts and stabilizers 1 wt%
Modifier Polymer:
Polymethyl methacrylate and barium sulphate
> 99 wt%
Catalyst < 1 wt%
Indication
For the fabrication of fixed and removable implant-
supported dental restorations in situations where the
set-up of teeth is beneficial to the pre-surgical radio-
logical diagnosis (CT, teleradiography as well as OPG),
eg:
– severe dysgnathia
– severe atrophy of the alveolar ridge
– reconstructive surgery of the mouth, jaw or face
Pre-surgical planning of the restoration enables the ideal
placement, location and angulation of the implant to be
established.
Contraindication
The product is contraindicated for all the applications
that are not specifically recommend by Ivoclar Vivadent
as well as for permanent restorations in the mouth of
patients.
In case of fixed metal prosthetics, metal fillings or metal
osteosynthetic materials, the image quality of the CT and
thus the recognizability of the radiopaque tooth may be
impaired.
Side effects
To date, no systemic side effects are known. In rare
cases, allergic reactions have been reported in
conjunction with methyl methacrylate and polymethyl
methacrylate materials. Do not use SR Vivo TAC / SR
Ortho TAC or Modifier Polymer and Monomer if a
patient is known to be allergic to any of the products’
ingredients.
