more prosthetic options MIS releases new EZ-Base abutment MIS Implants Technologies has announced the release of a new Ti-Base abutment that offers a solution for anterior screw-retained restora- tions. According to the implant manufacturer, restoration placement has never been simpler than with the EZ-Base system. The new abut- ment is designed for extreme angulation and offers safe handling within its screw channel. In addition, more angle options allow for greater comfort for the clinician performing anterior and posterior restorations with convenient handling and placement. “It’s critical to keep our R & D in direct correla- tion with the market’s needs,” commented Dr Shelly Akazany, Implants Product Manager at MIS, on the launch. “Both screw-retained solu- tions and CAD/CAM technologies are in accel- erated growth. The EZ-Base belongs to both worlds.” The EZ-Base screwdriver features a unique tip that allows safe and reliable access from multiple angles, as well as gripping, tightening and loosening within the angulated screw channel with the conveni- ence and at a torque similar to that of a straight screw channel. According to the company, the system provides an entire range of possibilities for prosthetic restora- tions in the aesthetic zone. Whereas screw-re- tained restorations may not have been an option for many anterior cases in the past, the EZ-Base system now provides a solution. It may be used in a digitally planned procedure incorporating CAD/ CAM technologies or using conventional methods. Akazany explained: “It’s important for us, in the Products Division, to offer a broad range of pros- thetic options in order to make the clinician’s life simpler, by having the most appropriate solution for each specifi c case without having to compro- mise. The EZ-Base system enables more freedom of choice and the ability to perform screw-re- trained restorations in cases that would have been previously ruled out.” The EZ-Base system is available for narrow, stand- ard and wide platforms and in both conical and in- ternal hex connections. EZ-Base is also offered in both fi xed gingival heights and adjustable options for optimal customisation and convenience. www.mis-implants.com precision-milled bridges Predictable quality and fast results with the new NobelProcera Implant Bridge Nobel Biocare, swiss based implants and prosthetic solutions manu- facturer, has announced that the precision-milled NobelProcera Implant Bridge in high-translucency multilayered zirconia represents the latest in restorative innovation from the company. With the angulated screw channel (ASC) innovation and completely cement-free adapters, the NobelProcera Implant Bridge offers a fast, predictable and cost-effi - cient solution for both dental laboratory and clinic. The ASC option, combined with the pick-up functionality of the unique Omnigrip tool- ing, revolutionises screw-retained resto- rations. It makes it possible to reposition the screw access hole in cases where it would otherwise be on the facial or incisal edge, or when occlusal space is limited, while also improving retrievability and reducing the risk of residual cement. The benefi ts of ASC are possible thanks to the as- sociated Omnigrip tooling—an innovation from Nobel Biocare’s product development team. The unique tip of the Omnigrip Screwdriver allows the screw to be tightened and loosened within the angulated channel with easy accessibility, as well as easy handling from multiple angles, even in the posterior. The pick-up ability of the special tip is also an outstanding feature. The Omnigrip Screwdriver delivers a strong hold for full insertion torque— even at an angle—to offer convenience and, most importantly, safety. The Omnigrip is designed to hold the screw fi rmly when it matters most—when the clinician is working in the patient’s mouth. The recent NobelProcera launches do not stop there, with precision-milled bridges in the same high-translu- cency multilayered full-contour zirconia now available. Following the recent introduction of the NobelProcera Crown in the same material, these products harmonise the NobelProcera offering. Each solution in the range effi ciently combines high-strength with aesthetics and a time-saving workfl ow. Thanks to the full-contour nature and excellent occlusal detail, the dental technician need only apply subtle staining, if desired, before polishing and glazing. www.nobelbiocare.com CAD/CAM 3 2017 57
