The quality of dental preparations, instruments, equipment and modern technologies in this area determine result and level of treatment, as well as provide comfort for patients no less than qualifications specialists. AmannGirrbach is a representative of high quality dental equipment.

Successful manufacturer AmannGirrbach

The company AmannGirrbach is distinguished by active development in the modern dental equipment market. Extensive experience in the development and production of products for laboratories in the field of dentistry has ensured a great demand for AmannGirrbach products.

AmannGirrbach is the result of the merger of two organizations (Amann Dental GmbH & Girrbach Dental GmbH). Active growth and development are based on extensive experience in the development, manufacture of various products for the laboratories of dental technicians, as well as a high level of service.

Amann Dental GmbH was founded in 73 of the last century and became known as a manufacturer of laboratory equipment for dental technicians and dental laboratories. The company was founded by one man - Dietmar Amann - in the garage of the house, but the organization grew rapidly, as a result, its staff began to number one hundred people. Since 92, Amann Dental GmbH has been supplying manufactured equipment to different countries under the name "Amann Dental Equipment".

Girrbach Dental GmbH was founded by Herbert Girrbach in the 36th year of the last century. It was famous for the production of equipment for the jewelry industry, and was called "Zahnwarengroßhandlung Südwest". Even then, in the catalog of goods, a significant place was occupied by products made on the basis of the then well-known dental technologies. The descendant Karl Girrbach has increased the number of employees of the company, as a result of which there are more than 100 people. The company has become known as a reliable and responsible supplier of complete production systems.

As a result of the merger, products from the catalogs of the two companies have become an excellent complement to each other. In Austria, employees are mainly involved in research and development, while the company's second headquarters in Germany focuses on service and sales.

The AmannGirrbach product range is constantly expanding and complemented by new products in line with the digitalization of the dental industry in prosthetics. You can view the product catalog at official website.

AmannGirrbach articulators

As a rule, when orthopedic and orthodontic treatment takes into account the structural features of the patient's jaw. The use of special orthopedic structures and dental equipment helps the doctor to correctly determine the condition of the patient's dentition - articulator and facial bow.

The facial arch is a device that acts as a kind of template and serves in orthopedics for clarification of the indicators of the location and movement of the jaws, with the help of it the obtained data are transferred to articulator.

The arc looks like this:

• the arcuate metal plate begins to be fixed at the ears with the help of articular supports, continuing to the region of the central incisors.
• the part that attaches to the teeth (also called the bite fork) is attached using a three-dimensional device.

The Artex face bows from AmannGierbach represent a visual system for the reproduction of functional movements. They are easy and reliable to handle, while contributing to fast and accurate work results. The archwire is an indispensable tool for functional diagnostics, and also serves to reduce the grinding time and fit the finished version of the prosthesis.

After applying the arch, the dental technician will be able to obtain accurate results of the model of the dentition with the necessary and accurate parameters.

After completing all the necessary measurements, the arc is removed, and the resulting dimensions are entered into a special device that allows you to copy the exact location of the dentition - an articulator.

Artex articulators are presented in a wide range of models.

Installing Giroform

For an accurate result in the manufacture of prosthetic models at a reduced cost gypsum serves the installation of Giroform. It is a semi-automatic drilling machine with laser guidance and an electromagnetic plate holder movable in different directions. Used to set the pins prior to the plaster casting process.

Using the Giroform system allows:

• prevent the consequences of the expansion of the gypsum;
• reduce the time spent on the implementation of the dentition (up to 10 minutes is enough);
• to reduce the consumption of gypsum for the manufacture of the jaw, since no plaster material is required for the base (it is provided ready-made);
• reuse base plates and metal discs.

The Giroform installation has the following advantages:

• the ability to operate anywhere, near the location of the outlet;
• quiet drilling process;
• automatic soft drilling feed results in uniform holes;
• exact result.

The installation contributes to the rapid determination of the location of future holes, which are uniform in shape and depth, which ensures a strong fixation pin.

The Giroform system is universal, it can be used for diagnostics of combined models of the jaw, as well as for dismountable working products. The initial Giroform kit contains the necessary materials and parts to make hundreds of models.
