    3Shape A/S has released new capabilities to design two-piece customized abutments using DENTSPLY Friadent pre-manufactured titanium bases.

    COPENHAGEN, Denmark--3Shape A/S, a leader in 3D scanners and CAD/CAM software solutions, has announced official release of new capabilities in Dental System to design two-piece customized abutments using DENTSPLY Friadent pre-manufactured titanium bases.

    3Shape has integrated a DENTSPLY Friadent library within its Dental System software supporting DENTSPLY Friadent’s ANKYLOS and XiVE implant systems.

    The new library enables dental technicians to use 3Shape Abutment Designer to model two-piece abutments using a pre-manufactured titanium base with a customized zirconia abutment top.

    To manufacture the designed restoration, the original titanium base must be obtained from DENTSPLY Friadent and the customized zirconia part can be milled locally in the lab or milling center.

    “DENTSPLY Friadent is a leading implant manufacturer, and many labs are steadfast users of both the 3Shape CAD/CAM Dental System and DENTSPLY Friadent’s abutments,” said Rune Fisker, vice president of product strategy at 3Shape.

    “Now they can design virtually and provide highly esthetic two-piece customized abutments, thereby introducing better choices for dentists and their patients.”

    Added Frank Beckerle, global brand manager of digital dentistry at DENTSPLY Friadent: “Optimal clinical results and long-term stability can be achieved best by using original components like implant, titanium base, and implant library throughout the workflow. To detect the correct position of ANKYLOS and XiVE, we also provide the matching scan-bodies.”

    According to Björn Roland, dental design of Schnellbächer & Roland: "The DENTSPLY Friadent library gives me even more options in solving implant cases with individual zirconium abutments on titanium bases. Using these libraries with the 3shape CAD Design Software, I get the optimal esthetic result easy and fast in a few clicks.”

    The DENTSPLY Friadent library is scheduled to be available July 3, 2012. Users who wish to benefit from this opportunity should contact a 3Shape distributor for more information on how to obtain these libraries.

    The original implant and titanium base must be obtained from the DENTSPLY Friadent distributor, and scan-bodies can be ordered at the international customer service by calling 49 6181 595694, or by e-mai at [email protected].
