[Device used for mounting retaining pins in split models for fixed dentures].

Area of Science:

• Biomaterials Science
• Dental Engineering
• Prosthodontics

Context:

• Current laboratory methods for fixed denture fabrication necessitate precise model separation.
• Maintaining reciprocal parallelism of abutment elements is critical for accurate dental models.
• Existing parallel stabilizing pin devices are primarily sourced from Western Europe.

Purpose:

• To design and develop a novel domestic apparatus for parallel stabilization of pins in dental models.
• To address the limitations of current laboratory techniques and market availability of specialized equipment.

Summary:

• The study introduces a new design for a device that facilitates accurate separation of the working part of a dental model from its base.
• This device ensures the preservation of reciprocal parallelism of abutment elements, crucial for fixed denture construction.
• It utilizes domestically available optical and mechanical components, meeting the stringent requirements for such apparatus.

Impact:

• Provides a cost-effective and accessible solution for dental laboratories in the domestic market.
• Enhances the accuracy and reliability of fixed denture fabrication processes.
• Reduces dependency on imported equipment, supporting local manufacturing capabilities.
