In this technical presentation, Andreas Klie, RDT, Panthera Dental’s Senior Technical Expert, introduces a highly effective solution to one of the most common challenges in prosthetics: balancing the need for proper oral hygiene with the patient’s desire for high-end, fixed aesthetics. Designed by Ruth Bourke in California, the ReBourke™ concept is an innovative double structure bar that gives patients the exact feel of a fixed restoration while remaining easily removable for cleaning.
Specifically designed to address the bacteria buildup that frequently occurs beneath standard fixed prosthetics, this system uses slight tissue compression to create a precise palatal seal. As a result, nothing gets trapped underneath the denture, entirely eliminating the hygiene complications of traditional restorations.
To help you seamlessly understand and implement this solution, the video details the unique mechanics and customizable features of the ReBourke™ bar:
Ultimately, the ReBourke™ concept is an amazing, life-changing solution for patients who struggle with oral hygiene but still demand the stability and aesthetic appeal of a fixed dental restoration
