Video: How to make a Bioplast® mouthguard
The latest in our series of instructional videos shows the fabrication of a Bioplast® mouthguard.
Watch out for our longer feature on mouthguards coming later in the summer!
Here is the first in a series of free, short clips that demonstrate useful techniques in the manufacture of popular orthodontic appliances. This one shows the fabrication of a bleaching splint, including the application of Blue Blokker.
We hope you find them useful!
The Scheu- Dental MINISTAR S®, combined with an extensive selection of coded plates and accessories, offers maximum efficiency in your daily work.
New thermostatic technology means huge advances in the ease and handling of pressure moulding machine operation. Working temperature is reached within one second, so material can be heated immediately after the heater is turned on. With the MINISTAR S®, the pressure moulding process is complete before other machines reach working temperature!
The new MINISTAR S® utilises the same proven principles as previous generations of positive pressure moulding machines. Thermostatic technology guarantees constant temperatures regardless of external influences such as room temperature and line voltage. The result is perfectly heated material and reproducible moulds – every time.
The side of the material which is placed directly over the model is heated. The surface temperature of this side of the material is up to 60º C higher than other methods. This technique, combined with the increased working pressure of 4,0 bar, guarantees flawless adaptation for both thin and thick materials, up to 4 – 5 mm.
The ergonomically formed pellet container provides complete control for precise embedding and covering the models. Excess pellets automatically fall into the channel surrounding the cup and are easily brushed back into the pellet container.

- Application guides and animated videos to assist fabrication
- Enlarged model cup and a USB port
- Patented thermostatic heater control
- 6 bar working pressure
- Working temperature reached in 1 second
The new BIOSTAR® utilises the same proven principles as previous generations of positive pressure moulding machines. The side of the material which is placed directly over the model is heated. The surface temperature of this side of the material is up to 60° C higher, and thanks to the superior working principle of 6 bar positive pressure absolutely precise moulds are guaranteed, using very thin foils as well as plates up to a thickness of 4-5 mm.
The short-wave, thermostatically-controlled infrared heater reaches working temperature within 1 second without waiting time. Immediately after setting the code the infrared heater reaches the working temperature and the foils can be plastified. With the BIOSTAR, the pressure moulding process is complete before many other machines even reach working temperature. The result is perfectly heated material and reproducable moulds every time.
The ergonomically formed pellet receiver provides complete control for precise embedding and covering of the models. Excess pellets automatically fall into the channel surrounding the cup and can be used again immediately.
Innovative scanner technology records all important data such as temperature, heating- and cooling time from the barcode, which is printed on each single SCHEU-foil. The data and the processing are shown on the display.
Each single foil is coded to prevent mixing up of materials.
