WELCOME TO RHEIN83
Metalic spherical attachments have been in existence for many years. But these attachments were not widely accepted, by the dental
professionists. Then came the idea to render these mechanisms elastic! Smooth the head of the sphere and construct an elastic cap as a result
of these innovative changes this technique to day is amongst the most widely used. Rhein83 has been in business since 1983 and today these
products have been copied throughout the entire world, copies that in many cases reflect the forms of the objects but not the materials they
are made from, and therefore it significantly changes the functional result. Research is not only oriented towards the study of new products, but
also continually trying to perfect those that have been used for many years. Dental attachments are small mechanisms subjected to continuous
movement, stresses and oral changing, requiring periodic maintenance and revisions. Some products in this have been made for maintaining
and restoring the functionality, to all the prostheses, directly while they are in the mouth of the patients. The commitment of Rhein83 with its
knowledge and skills continually being enriched by the contributions of dentists and laboratory technicians, is to be able to improve the actual
standards and develop new products by means of original projects.

The unique design and exceptionally low 2.1mm profile of the OT Equator 4 in 1 System provides
exceptional stability and superior retention when compared with other attachment systems.
Due to its lower radius, OT Equator is indicated to correct divergence up to 28 degrees between
implants without affecting the functionally of the elastic nylon cap.
Caps are available in a wide variety of retention levels.
ATTENTION; Where implant divergence exceed the maximum 28 degrees, Sphero Block and Sphero
Flex are recommended case plan options.

RETENTIVECAPS
OT Cap is a resilient distal extension attachment. It is indicated to be used with combined prostheses and removable
partial dentures.
For treatment plans that require a rigid substructure with milling and adequate counter attachments, OT Cap
functions as a stabilizing retentive connector. In addition, for treatment plans which require resiliency, OT Cap
provides a Cushion Effect similar to a shock absorber. This is achieved by the design of the sphere in conjunction
with the elastic retentive caps.
The OT Cap Tecno consists of a titanium sphere and ring that is incorporated into the nylon cap which has been
machined with a tolerance that assures high precision. While fabricating the prosthesis, the Tecno titanium sphere is
not exposed to any of the risks associated with the laboratory fabrication procedures and ceramic firing cycles.

A fracture is likely at the point where the overdenture attachments
are inserted in a prosthesis fabricated entirely of resin. With a
cast superstructure reinforcement, the denture will be less likely
to fracture. Fast and simple, the OT Box bar components are
used to fabricate the superstructure directly on the master model,
eliminating duplication and saving time. A non-precious or chrome
cobalt alloy is recommended for best results.
It is recommended that all nylon caps are inserted into a stainless
steel housing or cast reinforced frame. The stainless steel housing
offers a considerable advantage when the cap has to be removed
and replaced for routine maintenance or repositioned. Adjustments
or repairs can be performed chairside quickly and easily.

superior retention and can be utilized for both rigid and resilient functionality. With its innovative twosided design (Side A is rounded and Side B side is flat), depending on the indication, either side can
be used. If a resilient solution is required the bar is positioned with the flat side facing up or if a rigid
solution is required then the bar is positioned with the round side facing up. OTBAR MULTIUSE can
also be used as a connecting bar between canines in the anterior region.

The cast metal guide pin is necessary to center, connect and balance the prosthesis during the
final insertion. When milling or cross arch stabilization are not possible, the guide pin along with
the NEW STEADY will provide lateral stability to the prosthesis. This ensures a longer life for the
retentive clips. The vertical height of the attachment can be adjusted by reducing both male and
female parts from the original length of 5 mm down to 3.5 mm according to the pre-marked notches.
Reducing the vertical height creates no difference in functionality. Removal and replacement of clips
can be easily performed by the Dentist chairside.
34
ATTENTION
When shortening the OT VERTICAL attachment,
it is suggested that the clips not be reduced
more than 3.5 mm to prevent excessive
wear or failure. The limit is indicated by a
notch on both male attachments and clips.

The Sphero Flex implant overdenture attachment is compatible with all implant systems currently on the market..
Featuring a rotating ball with a diameter of 2.5 mm that is flexible to 7.5 in all directions. When used with a 14
directional ring, Sphero Flex corrects divergence up to 43 between two implants. Sphero Flex creates a passive
path of insertion which reduces trauma to the implant.
Sphero Block is a one-piece milled stationary ball implant attachment. It is available in 2.5 mm and 1.8 mm
diameters. Sphero Block provides exceptional stability and corrects divergence up to 28 between 2 implants
Sphero Block implant attachments are compatible with all implant systems currently on the market.
Sphero Flex and Sphero Block are manufactured with cuff heights ranging from 1 mm to 7 mm.
NOTE: The Sphero Flex and Sphero Block attachments are available for all platform diameters.

3 EASY STEPS
1. Place directional rings (green and red are shown
here) over the spheres establishing a level plane.
2. OT BOX positioners are placed over spheres to
support box housing during framework fabrication.
3. After gluing the 2 OT BOX parts, cut and use the
necessary pieces for the housing.
Once the resin has hardened, remove the prosthesis. Finished prosthesis

OT BOX CLASSIC NORMAL - CAST REINFORCED ACRYLIC PROSTHESIS USING DIRECTIONAL RINGS
14
Normo/Micro
In order to achieve a passive fit for the final prosthesis using the SPHERO FLEX
and SPHERO BLOCK attachment systems, it is necessary to use DIRECTIONAL
RINGS. When not used, there is a high possibility that the attachments will not
seat properly into the prosthesis due to incorrect positioning of the caps. This misalignment will result in premature wear of the caps causing additional trauma to
the implant. SELECTION OF DIRECTIONAL RINGS: The position and angulation
of the implant will determine which directional ring will be used. For parallel
implants, a 0 DIRECTIONAL RING can be used. For implants that have greater
divergence, a 7 or 14 ring can be used.
Place the DIRECTIONAL RING onto the hex of the attachment with the flat side
down. Be sure that the ring is fully seated. Next, place the retentive cap onto the
sphere and rotate the DIRECTIONAL RING until the cap is parallel with the other
caps and are in the same horizontal plane. Doing this ensures that the retentive
caps are correctly alligned inside of the final prosthesis.

Abutment Driver has a sliding mechanism that locks it onto the ball abutment.
This needs to be fully engaged to properly tighten the abutment without
damaging the abutment. To dis-engage driver once the abutment is tightened
in the mouth push down on the silver portion to loosen the driver from the
abutment (Remember to tighten and loosen then tighten the abutment several
times to ensure the abutment threads are fully engaged in implant threading)
Think re-torquing your lug nuts. If tightened with a torque wrench or manual
electronics, it is recommended to use a value of 25Nm.

Place the stone model on the swivel base. Rotate the base until the ideal model position is
found. Insert the mandrel into the notch on the parallelometer extension arm and lock it into
place by tightening the screw. Adjust the height by moving the extension arm up and down.
Once the correct height has been found, lock the arm into position by tightening the rear locking
screw.
4. Remove the tool and read the color coded rings indicated on the pin to determine the cuff
height.
NOTE:
When a colored ring is completely covered, and only the silver band between colors is
visible, it is recommended to utilize the next (higher) color.
IMPORTANT:
Before ordering an attachment, it is necessary to specify: Implant manufacturer, implant
brand, diameter, internal or external hex connection and cuff height. The cuff height is
determined by taking the corresponding color from the cuff height measuring tool. For
implants with an internal hex connection the cuff height will range from .5 mm to 7 mm
and for implants with an external hex connection, the cuff height will range from 1 mm to
7 mm.

Insert the claw reamer bur (C) into positioner (B). Insert the bur into the
centering device until it comes into contact with the broken screw. Rotate
in a counter clockwise direction while maintaining constant downward
pressure. After a few turns the notch in the bur should reappear.
Manually remove the centering device which will contain the screw,
if not it will remain inside the implant and can easily be removed with
tweezers.
Fig.3
Fig.4
IMPORTANT: Please follow the instructions closely when using the Broken Screw Extractor Kit. Although the Reverse Cutting Bur has been hardened by a
tempering process, it should always remain vertical (parallel with the screw hole) during the procedure to prevent breakage. The Reverse Cutting Bur and
Claw Reamer Bur are subject to wear. These burs should be inspected for wear prior to each procedure and replaced if necessary. Finally, it is very important
that the motor direction is set to COUNTER CLOCKWISE when using this kit.
Rhein83 recommends that caps be replaced every 12 months. The longevity of the caps is affected
by many variables including: original case design, patient hygiene and general maintenance of the
prosthesis.
In a prosthesis with metal housings, the cap can be removed by using a rotory instrument operated at
a low RPM. Be careful not to damage the metal housing during this procedure. The cap extractor tool
available from Rhein83 can also be used.
In a prosthesis where the cap is incorporated directly into the resin, it can be removed by hand with a
pointed instrument (such as a spatula) or the Rhein83 cap extractor tool. If a bur is used, be careful
to remove only the retentive cap and to not modify the form that remains in the resin. If the resin site is
damaged during the removal of the cap, repair the area with self curing resin before inserting the new
cap. The cap insertion tool is used for this procedure.
GREEN ELASTIC CAPS
These caps are highly elastic and have a medium level of retention. In cases where metal housings are
used, it is recommended to apply a drop of adhesive (cyanoacrylic) on the inside of the housing before
inserting the cap.
TITAN CAPS
These caps were designed to be used on the OT CAP TECNO as well as the Normal and Micro
attachments with machined titanium spheres.
When using high retention caps, it is recommended to insert them directly chairside onto the attachment
using the cap insertion tool.
OTCAP Normal / Micro OT Reverse.
PROSTHESES WITH MULTIPLE ATTACHMENTS
In order to balance the retentive levels of a prosthesis with multiple attachments, it is possible to use caps with different levels
of retention in the final case design.
REAMERS AND CAP TESTERS: in a case where only caps with too high of a retention strength are available, insert the
reamer into the caps and rotate it in a clockwise direction, after only a few rotations it will wear down the perimeter which
will reduce the retention. Try the prosthesis in the mouth, if it is still too retentive, repeat the operation with the reamer, In
order to avoid trying the prosthesis in the mouth too many times, one can use the spherical tester, in order to evaluate
the holding strength.
HOW THE RETENTIVE CAP FUNCTIONS
The Rhein83 caps are manufactured with a high elasticity which creates both mechanical and frictional
retention resulting in a larger contact zone between the cap and the lower portion of the sphere. A small
space between the metal housing and the cap allows the cap to expand as it passes over the equator of
the sphere. Once completely engaged, the cap returns to its original form.
POLISHING OF THE CAST ATTACHMENTS:
It is recommended that only glass beads or a soft cloth wheel are used to polish attachments. In order
to avoid damage to the sphere duing these procedures, it is a good practice to cover the spheres with a
retentive cap. The retentive caps can be reused again for this procedure.
