CORiTEC splint comfort

APPLICATION

• CORiTEC splint comfort blanks are used for the CAD/CAM-production of occlusal splints. Use suitable cross-cut carbide burs only.
• Do not clamp the blank too tightly in the milling machine, 0.6 Nm is sufficient.
• For removing the splint from the blank use suitable cross-cut carbide burs or cutting discs suitable for composites. Do not apply pressure.
• Minimum wall thickness: 0.9 mm (for aesthetic reasons 0,8 mm is permitted in the labial region)
• In order to avoid plaque accumulation, subsequent polishing of the splints is essential.  Please pre-polish with suitable silicone polishers and goat's hair polishers. Avoid heat development at all times.
• Upon completion, use an ultrasonic bath with water at a maximum temperature of 35 °C. Cleaning solutions are not recommended.
• For repair and addition of material please use THERMEO^® powder liquid system by pro3dure medical GmbH to preserve the advantageous wearing comfort of the splint, which is lost when not using this system. Please observe the instructions for use.

• Radial path distance: 0,6 mm
• Z depth increase: 0,6 mm
• Feed: 1.600 mm/min

Finishing:

• 2 mm ball radius cutter – single cutter
• Speed: 22.000 rpm
• Radial path distance: 0,1 mm
• Z depth increase: 0,1 mm
• Feed: 1.600 mm/min

Rest-roughing:

• 1 mm ball radius cutter – single cutter
• Speed: 28.000 rpm
• Radial path distance: 0,1 mm

The cooling/irrigation nozzles located on the spindle should be aligned with the tool tip. In this case, a uniform programming length must be observed or a tool length of 2 mm should be assumed. Air is sufficient as a cooling medium.

Please also observe the instructions for use.

Important information for the patient
In certain cases, the individual oral environment can lead to deposits, discoloration, smell and taste impairments as well as wear and tear (abrasion) on your splint over the course of its use. Regular inspection of the splint by your dentist and careful cleaning can extend the useful life of your splint. In certain cases, it may be necessary to replace the splint.

Instructions for use

1. Always clean your teeth thoroughly before inserting your splint.
2. To make it easier to insert the splint, it is advisable to warm it for about 30 seconds in warm water (approx. 113 °F/45 °C).
3. Always remove the splint for eating and drinking, to avoid the risk of breakage, abrasion and discoloration.
4. After eating and drinking start again with step 1.

Cleaning and Care
Rinse your splint with warm water after wearing it and clean all surfaces with a soft toothbrush. To get rid of deposits and to avoid bad smell and taste (refreshing the splint), cleaning with a professional non-alcoholic cleaning agent (EU: e.g. Cetron by Scheu Dental / USA: Denture Cleanser by CVS Pharmacy Inc. or Citrus II by Beaumont Products Inc.) is recommended once a week or as required.

Avoid the following cleaning agents

• toothpaste or commercially available denture cleaning agents
• alcohol-based detergents or mouthwashes
• abrasives or general household cleaners
• hot water (> 140 °F/60 °C) or ultrasonic cleaning devices

Storage
If you are not wearing your CORiTEC® splint comfort, please store it in a dark and dry place at room temperature.
