OT Equator For Implants
With a low vertical profile of 2.1 mm and diameter of 4.4 mm, the OT Equator is the smallest attachment system on the market. This system offers multiple solutions for overdenture treatment planning when vertical space limitations are a consideration.
Available in two versions, castable and prefabricated titanium abutments which are compatible with any implant brand on the market and manufactured with cuff heights from .5 mm to 7 mm. Female caps are retained by means of a stainless steel housing ranging in four levels of retention, making it easy to process at the dental laboratory or chair side in the dental office.
The unique design and exceptionally low 2.1 mm profile of the OT Equator 4 in 1 System provides exceptional stability and superior retention when compared with other attachment systems. Due to it's lower radius, OT Equator is indicated to correct divergence up to 28 degrees between implants without affecting the functionality of the nylon cap. A complete line of OT Equator accessories and tools are also available.
ATTENTION: Where implant divergence exceed the maximum 28 degrees, Sphero Block and Sphero Flex are recommended case plan options.

The Pivot Flex line of titanium posts was developed as an economical solution for direct "in root" supported overdentures. The self-aligning Pivot Flex post features a rotating ball with a 2.5 mm diameter and is indicated for divergent roots.
When the posts are used with directional rings to align retentive caps before the resin curing stage, the insertion of the denture is easy and trauma-free.
There are five levels of retentive caps, including extra resilient caps for precarious root situations. The levels of retention are identified by different colored caps.
Pivot Block
The Pivot Block line of milled titanium posts has a stationary ball and can be used for a temporary or as a permanent solution. The Pivot Block titanium posts are available in 2.5 mm and 1.8 mm sphere diameters. The Rhein83 elastic caps ensure optimal retention and function while minimizing wear.

A screw that breaks inside of an implant does not occur often. When it does, it poses a serious problem. With the Rhein83 Broken Screw Extractor Kit, it is possible to remove a broken screw from an implant if it has not been bonded or damaged during previous attempts to remove it.
The extractor kit includes two type of burs; a claw reamer bur and a reverse cutting bur. In addition, the kit includes manual and deep centering devices to hold the burs in place during the procedure. In 90% of cases, the broken screw can be removed easily with the claw reamer bur. However if the broken screw is frozen in place, the reverse cutting bur must be used.

For existing cases with worn spherical attachments which no longer provide adequate retention, the DR8 Undersized Cap can be used in the early stages of wear of the male component. This elastic cap offers an inner dimension of 1.7 mm and 2.2 mm which is smaller than Rhein83 normal and micro size caps and can be used with standard Rhein83 stainless steel housings.
When ball attachments show excessive wear, the Concave Reconstructive Spheres are recommended as the best long term restorative option. The Concave Reconstructive Spheres restore the worn male to it's original size of 1.8mm, 2.2 mm or 2.5 mm diameter. Concave Reconstructive Spheres are manufactured with a Titanium Nitrite coating and are rated over 1600 Vickers Hardness.
The chairside procedure for using the reconstructive spheres is fast, easy and provides an economical alternative to replacing the old restoration.
DR8 Undersized Caps are available in 3 levels of retention for normal and 2 levels of retention for the micro size.

Dental attachments, like most other mechanisms, are subject to wear and tear. Rhein83 USA produces spheres for restoring worn ball attachments which restore and stabilize the prosthesis in a single appointment. Reconstructive spheres are bonded over the worn ball restoring the attachment to its original size.
The Solid Reconstructive Spheres can be bonded to the inside of hollow attachments or those with a female ring such as ERA and CEKA.
Reconstructive Spheres can be used to repair various attachments available on the market. These attachments can be found in many types of prostheses including overdentures, implants, roots, and frameworks. If worn or broken, they cannot be repaired easily.
The Solid Reconstructive Spheres offer a fast and easy cost-effective alternative, transforming a female ring attachment into a male Micro OT Cap attachment. This repair can be completed chairside in a single appointment.

OT Strategy is a vertical micro-sized 1.8 mm castable sphere that is placed distally on abutments for removable partials or utilized with implant bar combination case design. The male component is designed with an additional support strut located under the sphere, increasing strength and preventing rotation of the female cap during paralleling. The optional Steady, when connected to OT Strategy, provides lateral stability without any additional milling.
OT Strategy caps are available for both duplication and fabrication with stainless-steel housing technique. Rhein83 USA caps are manufactured in an elastic material that increases the contact zone with the sphere, giving mechanical and friction retention, and are color-coded with five levels of retention. Tools for paralleling, inserting, and removing caps are available.
The Castable Steady is an optional, conical-shaped support intended for use in cases where milling is not performed. Steady can be used with the OT Strategy Standard or Long base.
It is an object in line with the philosophy of the personalization of every single prosthesis and is used with both the OT Strategy bases; Standard or Long and offers various technical solutions.

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 design of the sphere with a FLAT head in addition to the spherical inner surface of the elastic cap, permits vertical movement during mastication. Rhein83 female caps are manufactured out of a special nylon material that remains stable and continues to function in the oral cavity over long periods of time.
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.

The OT Vertical bi-cylindrical friction attachment is suitable for use with partial dentures and combination cases as well as bar connections. The cast metal quide 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 OT Bar Multiuse is designed with a 4 point retentive system. This unique system provides superior retention and can be utilized for both rigid and resilient functionality. With its innovative two-sided design (Side A is rounded and Side B 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. OT Bar Multiuse can also be used as a connecting bar between canines in the anterior region.
OT Bar Multiuse and the cast housing are fabricated directly on the master model saving time by eliminating the need for duplication.

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 the 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.
