Model System

Removable dies in fixed prosthetics

In crown and bridge work, preparation margins and proximal surfaces often need to be examined from several angles. Removable die systems allow an individual tooth segment to be lifted out and returned to the same position. A stable base and accurate guidance help prevent play and inaccurate repositioning.

Dowel pins, sleeves and base formers

The range contains dowel pins, plastic sleeves, base formers and components for Giroform, Zeiser and other model systems. Dimensions and retention methods vary, so components must be matched to the intended system. Choose the base former according to model size and workflow.

Sawing and model handling

Hand saws and fine saw blades in different sizes are available for separating model segments. Cut placement and width influence how dies can be removed and replaced. Models are often made using dental stone with suitable hardness and controlled expansion.

Consistency throughout the workflow

Select components as parts of a complete system. Combining incompatible items can compromise fit and repeatability. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for pin placement, casting and finishing.

Frequently asked questions

What is a removable dental die?

It is an individual tooth segment that can be removed from and returned to a working model, usually guided by dowel pins.

Can dowel pins be used with any model base?

Not necessarily. Pins, sleeves and base plates may have system-specific dimensions. Confirm compatibility first.
