The number of allergic diseases has increased continously during the past few years.
According to the „Ärzteverband Deutscher Allergologen (Medical Association of German
Allergologists) probably about one third of the population of Germany suffers from an allergy;
according to the Charité in Berlin, every other individual may be affected by an allergy.
In case of an allergy, the immune system responds too strongly to harmless environmental
substances. The defense system of the body detects foreign substances and fights against
them. The body of an allergic person, however, also classifies substances to be foreign bod-
ies, which are actually entirely harmless.

Allergy alert!
Environmental pollution, modern ways of life and various types of stress lead to ever-
increasing sensitization to a variety of substances. Depending on the allergy, the type and
extent of intolerance reactions may vary considerably.
Allergic reactions may cause skin rash, pain, shortness in breath, dizziness, nausea or itch-
ing.
Allergic reactions to dental restorations made of metal occur more and more frequently.

Health starts in the mouth
Metal alloys such as gold, chrome cobalt and amalgam are some of the most important ma-
terials due to their excellent material properties. The strong increase in allergies and increas-
ing number of symptoms of intolerances to metals and electrosensitivity, however, led to a
change in thinking when it comes to selecting and using dental materials.
Metal-free restorations are more and more requested and used.

Relief ensured with ...
The modern injection moulding technique allows to fabricate metal-free restorations and to
do without harmful substances since the thermoplastic materials do not contain any toxic and
allergenic constituents.
The injection moulding technique or, more accurately, injection moulding is a procedure in
which a heated high-performance thermoplastic material is injected into a mould cavity at
very high pressure. Previously, this technique could only be employed using very large in-
dustrial machines. Today very powerful and compact injection moulding machines are avail-
able for dental laboratories thanks to continuous development.
bredent GmbH & Co.KG (Senden/Germany) is the first manufacturer who succeeded in de-
veloping an injection moulding system for the dental laboratory. This system enables dental
technicians to process five advanced thermoplastic materials to obtain metal-free and highly
biocompatible dental restorations.

Crowns and bridges
bre.dentan HP
Crowns and most bridges are fixed prosthetic restorations. Unlike removable dentures,
which can be cleaned every day, crowns and bridges are cemented to the existing teeth or
to implants that can only be removed by the dentist.
