manual carefully and adhere to the instructions.

1. Manufacturer
Tiger Dental e.U., Belruptstrasse 59, 6900 Bregenz, Austria
2. General product description
Mini Mold, consisting of the Ortho-handle and Mini Mold silicone forms for
the individual fabrication of anterior bite ramps.
3. Area of application
With Mini Mold, you can fabricate anterior bite ramps for the intrusion of
anterior teeth within seconds. The bite ramps are 8.4 mm long and there-
fore long enough to be easily shortened, if necessary. The included Or-
tho-handle runs parallel to the bite plane, which guarantees continuous-
ly equal results. Small lateral auxiliary lines on the silicone form mark the
position of the plateau, which facilitates the alignment of several adja-
cent bite ramps at the same level. Existing bite ramps can be elongated
by simply sliding the Mini Mold over the bite ramp again, if necessary. In
order to avoid abrasion, we recommend using unfilled light-curing resins
(e.g. Triad®, Heliosit®).
After sterilization, apply a drop of silicone spray to the opening on the Or-
tho- handle, where the Mini Mold is inserted. The Mini Mold must be in-
serted into the handle up to the stop! Renew the lateral auxiliary lines on
the form with a permanent alcohol marker, if needed.
Indications
Fabrication of anterior bite ramps for the intrusion of anterior teeth dur-
ing orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances.
4. Instructions for use
Shortening bite ramps
With diamond burr and red contra-angle piece
Elongating bite ramps
The bite ramp is fabricated as described above. Then, lateral and occlu-
sal retentions are made with a small diamond burr. Fill the Mini Mold
only by half and fit it over the existing bite ramp. Cure with light and
the job is done!
Removal of bite ramps
First remove 90% of the bite ramp with a coarse diamond burr. Remove
the rest with a ball shaped carbide finishing burr.
5. Warning
The teeth beneath the bite ramps are at risk of caries. Regular checks are
necessary! Mini Mold bite ramps should not be left in the mouth for more
than 4 months. After this period, the ramps must be removed to check for
caries and then be renewed afterwards, if necessary.
6. Advice for products intended for multiple use.
The Mini Mold is intended for multiple use. Prior to renewed use, the Mini
Mold and the Ortho-handle must be disinfected, cleaned and sterilized.

struments“.
