(Mooser) BURS

The PIVOT FLEX posts are the only ones that have a self-parallelizing ng mobile
sphere that favours the entrance of the prosthesis during insertion thereby
reducing the risks of trauma.
The FIXED PIVOT SPHERE posts are designed with an accentuated conicity
that is perfectly smooth so that they can be used either as definitive or temporary
attachments. Even if they are attached to the root with cement (oxyphosphate)
they can be removed. When they are used as definitive posts it is recommended
to make them more retentive by cutting out notches.
Combined with the various other Rhein’83 components, these posts become a
part of a technique that permits the dentist to resolve many problems in a very
simple and economic way.
