Overview

The Bredent VS-3 Mini is an attachment system that can be used to combine fixed and removable restorations using gentle glide in friction. It is suited for all types of mesial/distal extension and free-end saddled removable partial denture frames; as well as on some implant bar retained overdenture designs.

The VS-3 is the most popular attachment system in Europe because of the many benefits it provides. It comes in two different variations to accommodate many possible case designs. The VS-3 Mini is suitable for cases with limited bucco-lingual width. It has also been refined to suit cases with overall limited spaces. The VS-3 Mini SV is great for cases where a lingual arm is not wanted and for unilateral applications. The VS-3 attachments are the longest lasting and most hygienic plastic to metal Bredent attachments because they offer lots of surface area for friction and do not trap plaque or food which could cause wear on the retentive parts.

In essence, the VS-3 Mini attachment system has proven its clinical longevity through thousands of successful cases made in Europe. It is an excellent compliment to the attachment lines favored here in the United States and it will deliver years of comfort and function for patients.
 

XPdent introduces the new precision metal housings for the VS-3 Mini attachment. Made of Brealloy F-400, a nickel free alloy, VS-3 metal housings provide an incredible ease of use to the dentist because it allows a fast exchange of the retentive matrices without the use of self-curing acrylic.  They can be incorporated directly into acrylic, soldered or welded to fit a variety of case situations.
 
Perfect for repair and Retro-fitting
Can be soldered or welded
Made of Brealloy F 400 nickel and beryllium free alloy (MSDS available)
Brealloy F 400 corresponds to the standard DIN EN ISO 6871- part 1: 1996

VS-3 Mini Wax Matrices for Stress Breakers & Blue Patrices  - NEW!
 
The VS-3 Mini Wax Matrix for stress breakers was designed to work with the VS-3 mini patrix to create keyway style attachments for splinting non-parallel abutments.
The benefit of using the VS-3 Mini with wax matrices as stress breakers is that it provides additional restorative options compared to its competitors.
For example, segmented C&B work utilizing the VS-3 Mini may be easily converted into an RPD with adjustable levels retention should there be any loss of abutments.
The VS-3 Mini Wax Matrix for stress breakers is made of ASH-FREE WAX that can easily be adjusted and incorporated into a myriad of case scenarios.

SV Paralleling Mandrel

for the VS 3 Mini Patrix and the VS 3 Mini SV Patrix. This universal mandrel can be used for many paralleling applications including bars.

All of the VS-3 attachments can be reduced up to 40% in size to fit the case’s specific needs. The parallel prongs of the SV mandrel can be used as a guide when reducing the VS-3 Mini and VS-3 Mini SV. Bredent USA recommends using the Ceragum Silicone Polisher when reducing attachments (#PRK G22 12).

Grinding down the SV corners at approximately a 45° angle will provide additional clearance and will facilitate the fitting and seating of the chrome framework.

Above you can see a properly modified VS-3 Mini SV. The same procedure can be used for all our SV style attachments including the VKS-SG/SV. For additional information, please contact our technical support department at 800·328·3965.

SV Paralleling Mandrel

When waxing the copings, VS3 Mini SV does not need a lingual arm rest. The patrix is waxed into place with the SV Mandrel.

The height of the patrix can be reduced by up to 40% in size. The bottom end of the patrix can be adjusted to fit the tissue shape.

After casting and fitting on the model, polish the attachment lightly. If the attachment is not polished, residue and oxide may wear the matrices prematurely.

Before duplicating the case, the duplicating matrix is slipped onto the attachment and all undercuts are blocked out. No wax should get on the matrix.

A refractory model of the case with the duplicating matrix is then created.

Before waxing the partial framework, the wax matrix sleeve is inserted. This assists in creating a precise housing.

 

The partial framework is then waxed up onto the wax matrix sleeve.

The framework is then cast and fitted down. The matrices are adjusted for height and inserted into the framework.
