 VS-3 Instructions

The VS3 Patrix is waxed onto the copings. If the Short Patrix is used, the SV paralleling mandrel should be used. A lingual rest & arm is recommended.
 
The patrix can be reduced by about a third in height. After casting and fitting, polish the attachment lightly.
 
The model is duplicated with the duplicating matrix. The undercuts are blocked out and the case is duplicated.
 
After the refractory model of the case is created, the wax matrix housing is slipped over the refractory matrix.
 
The chrome cobalt framework is waxed over the refractory model onto the wax matrix housing. It is recommended to have a lingual arm.
 
The framework is then cast and fitted. A light deplating is usually required. Acrylic is added as usual.

 VS-3 Castable Housing Instructions

The VS-3 Patrix is cast onto the copings using techniques described by the VS-3 instructions above.
 
The yellow matrix is placed on the patrix and the VS-3 Matrix Housing is slipped over.
 
Retention beads or crystals are placed on the cylindrical part of the housing and the lingual arm is fabricated using bredent Pi-Ku-Plast resin.
 
The housing is removed from the model and the matrix is removed from the housing. The housing is then cast; ideally in the same metal as the copings.
 
After casting, the housing is finished and fitted on the model. The Pi-Ku-Plast resin creates a precise replication of the lingual arm.
 
The VS-3 Duplicating Matrix Housing is placed over the housing, all undercuts are blocked out and the case is prepared for duplicating.
 
After the refractory model is created, the wax housing is slipped over the refractory duplicating matrix.
 
The chrome cobalt framework is waxed onto the matrix housing. Bredent retention beads or cyrstals can be used to create a more retentive surface.
 
Vaseline is brushed onto the model as a separating agent to keep the bonding agent from adhering to the model.
 
After the overcasting is fitted, DTK Adhesive is placed into the wax housing (as seen above) and onto the retention tail of the matrix housing.
 
The partial framework is pressed onto the model firmly. Excess adhesive should be cleaned off the model and frame.
 
This shows the final product. Since both metals are of the same type where the partial is removed & inserted, the case is optimally biocompatible.

 VS-3 SV Instructions

The VS3 SV Patrix is waxed onto the copings using SV paralleling mandrel. A lingual arm is not needed.
 
The patrix can be reduced by about a third in height. After casting and fitting, polish the attachment lightly.
 
The model is duplicated with the duplicating matrix. The undercuts are blocked out and the case is duplicated.
 
After the refractory model of the case is created, the wax matrix housing is slipped over the refractory matrix.
 
The chrome cobalt framework is waxed over the refractory model onto the wax matrix housing.
 
The framework is then cast, deplated and fitted. The matrix is inserted using the insertion pin.

FAQ

  What is the retention sequence of the matrices (females)?
Green is low, Yellow is normal, and red is high retention.
