Ball attachments had existed for many years: a metal ball and a retentive cap, also made of metal.

But these attachments met neither favor nor market. Hence the intuition to make this mechanism elastic! Flatten the head of the ball and build an elastic cap. The idea was a winner and today this technique is among the most widely used.

Rhein83 has been in existence since 1983, and today these products boast various copies all over the world, copies that in many cases reflect the shapes of the objects but not the materials they are made of, so the functional result changes significantly. Research is aimed at studying new products, but also constantly refining the functioning of those that have been in use for years. Dental attachments are small mechanisms that are constantly moving and highly stressed in unpredictable ways, so they need maintenance and upgrades.

Some of the products in the catalog are made to maintain and restore function, in all prostheses, if necessary directly in patients' mouths. Rhein'83's commitment, with its expertise, continually enriched by external collaborations with dentists and dental technicians, is to be able to improve current standards and develop new products through original designs.
