3Shape’s coming Dental System 2013
Due for release later in 2012, Dental System 2013 represents a system for dental CAD/CAM. With the recent addition of new indications and workflows, 3Shape’s Dental System is a CAD/CAM system that covers the major dental indications. Some of the coming features are:

* Denture Design, including the Gingiva Creation tool, transforms a widespread and technique-demanding dental indication into a fast digital workflow.
* Implant planning and drill guides bring together implant planning, prosthetics, and drill guide design to open a new service that labs can offer to dentists.
* The RealView Engine lets technicians visualize the complete oral situation in realistic shades while they work.
* Post and Core allows users to design all layers in a single workflow, starting with the anatomy for optimally shaping the Post and Core components.
* Secondary Telescopic Crowns enables technicians to meet clinical cases by designing primary and secondary constructions together.
* Advanced implant cases, including fully-digital implant bridges, Integrated design of secondary bar framework, angled implant screw holes, and design of two-piece abutments as two customized parts.

Design and manufacture orthodontic appliances digitally
3Shape brings the market a CAD software solution for orthodontics that allows labs to provide orthodontic services.

“The new Appliance Designer is the first CAD program that digitally creates all types of orthodontic appliances," said Henrik Vestermark, vice president of business development for North America.

“Appliance designs are made ready for manufacturing using 3D-driven machines and materials. Labs can now provide highly competitive night-guards, retainers, customized bands, splits, and more, by taking advantage of our CAD/CAM technologies.”

TRIOS impression-taking - strengthens professional lab-dentist relationships
3Shape also is slated to showcase the TRIOS digital-impression solution, including a range of new features. TRIOS enables dentists to rapidly capture an intraoral situation and send the 3-D model directly to the lab. Unlike many other scanners, 3Shape’s TRIOS does not require pre-spraying of the teeth. The system clinically validates the impression and includes flexible tools that allow dentists to edit their scans, and even "delete-and-rescan" specific areas where needed.

3Shape lectures and training sessions in Chicago
3Shape lectures will take place Feb. 25, 2012, at the Chicago Sheraton Hotel & Towers, Ballroom Level – Sheraton 3. Llectures and trainings are CE credited, and earn 1 credit per lecture.
