Benefits:
- The Clix 1281 offers the convenience of one piece
casting
- However, the
1271 (prefabricated sphere)
system offers the benefit of an accurate size and smooth male sphere for
reduced wear and a more precise fit. The 1271 system is recommended over
the 1281.

Select the proper plastic keeper for either a
removable partial denture off the
crown (FIG 1), or for a recess in an
overdenture (FIG 2 & 3). |

| Position the appropriate plastic keeper in passive contact with the
alveolar ridge using the RE P7 paralleling mandrel (FIG
4). Connect the keeper with
wax while keeping the papilla free. Remove the paralleling mandrel and complete the
support and connection (FIG 5). |

| Using the 1201P Paralleling
Mandrel (FIG 6), seat the 1281C Castable Sphere in the plastic pattern
(FIG 7). |

| Invest, and cast (FIG 8).
Do NOT use any debubblizer. Do not
sandblast to devest, as this will leave a very rough surface on the
sphere and cause excessive female wear.
Also, do not rubber wheel the cast sphere, as this
will alter the shape and size of the sphere. Polish with a felt, or
buff, wheel.
For best results, use the Preci Clix 1211 Cup Burr
to finish the casting (FIG 10-11). The cup burr will maintain the spherical shape
of the casting. |
| Duplicate the master cast and abutments.
Prepare the refractory model (FIG 12).
Completely surround the
replica of the male and keeper with a thick layer of wax and provide retention for
acrylic resin (FIG 13).
Cast and finish the chrome framework.
If it is preferred to process
over a metal analogue male, take the impression, and index the Preci Clix
1201D analogues into the impression. Pour up model, and the analogue
males will provide an exact representation. |
| Using the 1222 Clix Insertion tool, insert the yellow
female into the female housing
(FIG 14). Check to verify that the female fits into the frame. Place the black spacer over the male ball, and then place the female and
housing over the ball and spacer (FIG
15).
Place block-out material over the junction of the black
spacer and the titanium male to assure that no denture base resin gets into
the female. Connect the female housing to the cast frame with
self-cure acrylic resin. Process the female housing into the prosthesis
(FIG 16). |
