| industry news abutments and implants on demand CAD/CAM abutments and implant bars on demand with NobelProcera Services Just about any requirement can be met. Not only can labs create abutments and crowns for all Nobel Biocare implants, but for other major implant sys- tems too. The choice is there for titanium or zirconia in different shades, abutments with cement-retained copings or a screw-retained approach for direct veneering, as well as innovative solutions such as the angulated screw channel abutment available in zirconia for conical connection implants*. With the order sent directly to the expert Nobel- Procera production facility, a team of skilled CAD designers creates a design and shares a 3-D visualis- ation for the lab to approve. When the lab is happy, the precision-fit abutments and implant crowns are precision-manufactured, quality checked and dispatched back to the lab. Send a model, receive unrivalled bars Already an established feature of the service, labs can order market-leading NobelProcera Implant Bars by preparing the case materials as normal, noting the details of the case on a short accompanying form, be- fore sending it to be scanned and designed by Nobel- Procera’s team of skilled technicians. The Scan and Design Service covers an extensive range of over 170 implant platforms*. And, as Nobel- Procera produces implant bars only from solid blocks of titanium alloy for surgical applications2, potential weaknesses relating to soldering or laser welding are avoided. Fig. 1 Growth is the trend in the dental implant market, and there is little sign of it slowing in the years ahead.1 As a result, dental laboratories that can provide high-quality abutments, implant crowns and implant bars will be increasingly in demand. However, ramping up production of either component can re- quire significant investments in equipment, time and staff training that many labs simply cannot afford. That is where NobelProcera Scan and Design Services can help. Send a case, receive precision-fit abutments and implant crowns Previously only available for ordering implant bars, labs can now streamline their workload and expand their offering of abutments and implant crowns by outsourcing scan, design and production to Nobel- Procera. The process is simple. Using the online form, the lab uploads a 3Shape or NobelProcera digital scan file, enters their design specifications and sends their request in a click.
