Solicitation #: TFSAAFRG15CI0009 – Dental Laboratory Services – Answers to Vendor Questions:

1. I noticed on your attachment I a list of products under Full Metal Restoration that are no longer on the market and not recommended.

Targis / Vectris from Ivoclar has been discontinued. Also it is not recommended adding Composite to metal. Adding any composite to metal was proven to cause fractures and separation from the base metal is was being applied to. Therefore it was discontinued and stopped.

I noticed new materials like Zirconia is missing from your list. The industry had gravitated to either Full Contour – Monolithic Zirconia or for anterior teeth we add and layer porcelain to a Zirconia coping.

If I don’t hear back we will NO Bid the Targis/ Vectris section and any item where Targis Vectris mentioned and quote our Milled Composite Material called Paradigm and or Lava Ultimate for your Composite Inlay, Onlay and Crowns. Both materials are highly esthetic and reliable. However, we will NO Bid Composite to Metal on items 0037, 0038, 0039, 0040.

Answer: The pricing spreadsheet attachment I has been revised to remove the following items and add the items listed in RED.

Targis / Vectris: - Removed 0028 Targis/Vectris Ceromer Crown, Inlay/Onlay 0029 Targis Ceromer Veneer, Inlay/Onlay 0030 Targis/Vectris Maryland Bridge (1 Pontic; 2 Wings) 0031 Targis/Vectris Crown, Inlay/Onlay Bridge (3 Units) 0032 Vectris Bridge Connector/Sprint 0033 Targis Labial Margin

Composite Bounded To Metal: - Removed 0037 Targis to Semi-Precious 0038 Targis to Yellow Gold 0039 Targis to White Gold 0040 Targis to Non-Precious

Added:

Zirconia – FPD Frameworks Zirconia – Crowns Milled (CAD/CAU)

Solicitation #: TFSAAFRG15CI0009 – Dental Laboratory Services – Answer to Vendor Questions.

2. Here are a few more items we need more information on.

0090 Bridge 2 - 4 Unit 0091 Bridge 5 - 8 Unit 0092 Bridge 9 - 16 Unit What type of bridge do you want? What type of materials, etc. Need more information. Non Precious, Semi-Precious, High Nobel and do you want a Porcelain fused to metal. We charge per unit not per bridge. The cost of a pontic is the same as a crown regardless of the span of the bridge.

Answer: See Fixed Restoration added to Attachment I

3. 0080 Set up (try in) Do you mean denture-wax up

Answer: The set-up (try-in) should be complete/partial denture-wax up or esthetic wax up.

4. 0041 Porcelain to Metal Do you mean Non-Precious, Semi-Precious or High Noble?

Answer: Answered above with crowns per unit, it should be porcelain fused to metal (pfm) and just add the metal high noble (HN), semi-precious (SP), and non-precious (NP). See Fixed Restoration.

5. 0078 Pressed Acrylic tooth I don’t know what you mean by Pressed Acrylic tooth?

Answer: Deleted from Attachment I

6. 0049 Heat Cure (Composite) I not sure what you mean. Do you want a crown or to add a contact to a crown with composite?

Answer: Delete

Solicitation #: TFSAAFRG15CI0009 – Dental Laboratory Services – Answer to Vendor Questions:

7. 0019 - 0020 (Flexil) Could you tell me what this is? Are you referring to flexible denture?

Answer: Eliminate or delete, Flexil is no longer a product, Valplast is the flexible clasp acrylic removable partial dentures used to date.

8. 0022 0023 (Valplast) Valplast cannot be repaired or added with clasp or metal frame. Instead we offer regular acrylic for repairing clasp and adding metal frame.

Answer: Deleted

9. Number 0028 - 0033 & 0037-0040 These materials are not available anymore and I confirmed it with Ivoclar. Is there other replacement materials you want us to include in the price list? (For 0037-0040 we offer Cristobal)

Answer: Delete

10. Could you tell me the difference between 0041 (Porcelain to Metal) and 0043 (Finess Low- Fusing Porcelain to Metal)?

Answer: There is no difference, just porcelain fused to metal crowns (pfm).

11. 0062 - 0064 Repair Should we provide repair price on denture? or porcelain?

Answer: Repair for dentures only, porcelain cannot be repaired. Would ask for the warranty on pfm's. Most dental laboratories will guarantee their crowns for 2 to 4 years, where the porcelain fractures.

12. 0065-0066 (Set - 1/14 New Hue & Monoplane) Are you asking for the price of one set of interior or posterior?

Answer: Sets of teeth are sold in cards. Anterior cards have 6 teeth (canine to canine) and the posteriors have 8 teeth (1st premolar to 2nd molar). Does the lab only offer Hue brand teeth, which are good teeth, not the best but good quality?

13. 0072 (Metal dummie tooth) Could you explain what you mean by dummie tooth? It this the replacement of acrylic teeth for reinforcement?

Answer: "Metal dummie tooth" refers to conservative fpd, similar to a Maryland bridge. Never heard of dummie tooth. Delete.

14. 0078 (Pressed Acrylic tooth) Could you be more specific about this item? We offer cristobal. Should we offer price for that?

Answer: Delete.

15. 0084 -0085 (Fixed Bridge Abutment & Pontic) I am not sure if you are mentioning one abutment or restoration over implant.

Asnwer: The list compiled for fixed restorations should answer this question. See answer for question 2.
