business36 Show Preview IDS Cologne 2013 Implants are high- precision medical de- vicesthatrequirecon- stant quality controls during the manufac- turing process. Devel- oped to provide im- plant manufacturers and other industries with a reliable tool to precisely measure mi- cromechanical com- ponents, the Italian company Vici Vision is offering a optical measuring machine that allows operators to use their CNC to an optimum by taking dimensional measurements like diameter, length and angle onsite, right next to the CNC lathe. With the MTL X5, external di- mensional controls can be carried in a single cycle that only lasts a few seconds, according to the Italian company. The system, which works as an enlarger, is easy to use for any operator and allows to pass from onebatchtoanotherwithonemouse click.Machineparameterscanbeset with MTL X5 before values are out of tol- erance to prevent dis- cardeditems.Further- more, all data can be collected for statisti- cal controls as well as for producing control certificates that are required to have for quality assurance in different markets. With the MTL X5 the quality of dental implantscanbesignif- icantly improved and machine downtimes reduced, which are key advantages in the current challenging market en- vironment. During IDS, the machine will be on display at Vici’s booth in hall 2.2. The company, based in Santar- cangelo di Romagna near Rimini, Italy, has been manufacturing vision systems and industrial automation solutions since the late 1970s. VICI VISION, ITALY www.vici.it Hall 2.2 Booth C011 JUVORA, a dental innovations company, has announced that the generation of denture material will be on display at this year’s IDS. Their JUVORA Dental Disc is the first approved high performance polymer device that allows the CAD/CAM of aremovabledentureframeworkfrom a non-metal. Intended for use in telescope at- tachments, precision attachments and implant supported superstruc- tures, the JUVORA Dental Disc uses only the purest biomaterial sourced from the market leading provider of PEEK-OPTIMA biomaterials, Invibio® Biomaterial Solutions (which has morethanadecadeofexperienceand proven success in over 4 million im- planted devices globally). By utilizing a high performance polymer, the JUVORA Dental Disc provides a number of distinct mate- rial benefits. First of all due to its metalfreepropertiespatientsarefree from allergy, thermal and electrical conductivity. Additionally due to the absence of metal the patient’s taste remains unaffected. The material also offers an elastic modulus similar to bone and a high strength to weight ratio for increased flexibility in both denture design and manufacture. Other benefits include a high resistance to wear, abrasion andcorrosionandX-raytransparency (whichallowsclinicaldiagnosticsand treatment to be made through the denture without the need for screw fix denture removal or replacement). “The JUVORA Dental Disc offers significant benefits for patients as both the design and material proper- ties of the device enable the manu- facture of precise, lightweight and comfortable non-metal removable dentures,”saidMarcusJarman-Smith, JUVORA Technology Leader. Compared to traditional metal casting methods, which are labour intensive with lengthy production times, the JUVORA Dental Disc is specifically designed to take ad- vantage of CAD/CAM manufacturing and design of removable dentures. By allowing removable dentures to be manufactured utilising digital processes, the JUVORA Dental Disc providesdentallabswithafasterpro- duction route, reduced labour re- quirements, improved denture accu- racy and reproducibility. Patients, therefore will receive a removable denture that is more comfortable because it has been precisely cus- tomised and accurately manufac- tured. “For the first time, JUVORA has allowed high performance polymers to enter the automated route,” said JoergSchlegel,JUVORASalesLeader. “We understand the changing needs of the dental industry and it is through the use of the JUVORA Den- tal Disc that dental labs and dentists can take advantage of greater design freedom, flexibility and accuracy,” he added.
