Tribos 501

tribos 501

natural - aesthetical - functional

“ The sophisticated Relief of our teeth is related to the „tribosphenic“ molar. This is a result of an old history dated millions of years ago. The Tribos 501, perfect portrayal where shape, function and aesthetics are taken from nature, taking into consideration all the scientific teeth elements. This assumption is essential and indispensable for a natural occlusion and correct function of the entire masticatory system. “

Citation Ottmar Kullmer, research institut Senkenberg Frankfurt

Tribos 501 are high quality teeth developed in diagonal grid PMMA structure, produced in a new condensation method „Mega-Press-Inject“ to optimise the density and hardness of the tooth surface. This production in 3 layers affords the same quality performance in all areas of the tooth. This impacts especially on the durability and Plaque sensivity of a prosthesis. The user will feel the precision of the shape and hardness of the Tribos 501 when using it for the first time, which is comparable to the precision of the CAD/CAM technology.

The Tribos 501 teeth morphology: Primary morphology, Secondary morphology, Secondary morphology abrasive.

Primary morphology

Tribos Kaufläche PM

The Primary morphology (PM/PS) corresponds to the morphology of a young tooth having no abrasion, nor contact surfaces. The base of the tooth is reduced which allows it to be used in the complete denture, as well as implants.

Secondary morphology

Tribos Kaufläche SM

The secondary morphology (SM/SS) corresponds to the morphology of a tooth, already presenting few abrasive facets and some contact surfaces. The tooth base is reduced.

Secondary morphology abrasive

Tribos Kaufläche SMA

The Secondary morphology abrasive (SLA/SMA/SSA) correspondens to the morphology of a tooth presenting multiple abrasive facets and multiple contact surfaces. Due to this new tunnel shape of the base of the tooth, the correction work can be reduced up to 70 - 80 %. Also the Secondary morphology abrasive can be applied in all prosthetic works.

Secondary morphology abrasive ( composite )

Tribos 501 c are:

  • much harder than PMMA teeth (ca. 30%)
  • particularly abrasion-resistant
  • pressure-resistant and with high fracture toughness

How does the recommended combinations table work?

When selecting the upper jaw anterior set, the assignment table automatically offers the matching lower jaw sets and possible posterior sets.

Proceed as follows:

  1. Enter the name of the desired set in the search field.
  2. The matching sets are automatically displayed.
  3. Click on a set.
  4. Select a tooth color on the product page.
  5. Now you can add the item to your shopping cart.

You will find the allocation table on the product page of each tooth set. You can use the table to quickly navigate between matching sets.

If you have any dental technical questions, a competent dental technician will be happy to help you. Feel free to contact us under the phone number: +49-7733-941020.

The Tribos 501 denture tooth libraries offer open data that can be used for various production methods, including 3D printing, milled and bonded teeth, as well as the production of monoblock dentures.
