Dupla Instructions

Use the Paralleling Mandrel for both of the Female Parts of the Dupla Attachment--The Rod Female Part (green) and the T-shaped female part (pink). When using the Pink T-shaped component, make sure that the Paralleling Mandrel activating slot is visible in the opening of the T-shaped female part.

Free end situations require a lingual milled brace support in order to protect the slide attachment.

Wax up the abutment crown as desired and integrate the appropriate female part in the wax up using the Paralleling Mandrel.

Depending on the application, the breadth or height of the Dupla attachment may be reduced.

Complete, invest, and cast the wax up in the usual way.

The functional part of the Dupla Male and Female attachment is free of edges, so no air bubbles can adhere to the surface during the investment process.

Due to the swelling affect of plastic, wax ups with integral plastic slide attachments should be invested in a phosphate-bonded precision investment compound.

After casting, sandblast the Dupla Female and male parts with aluminum oxide 50µm or ideally with glass beads.
