The UK’s largest exhibition and conference dedicatedto the dental technology profession was a hugesuccess in March of this year. If you weren’t oneof the record number of attendees then don’t worry……there’s always 2015! So put April 17th & 18th at the NEC Birmingham in your diary and we’ll see you there.

Missed this year’s Main dental technology event? then don’t worry…...it’s now annual.

Customised screw-retained bridge in 4 steps

Implantology Solutions from Skillbond

Model with removable gingival mask and integrated laboratory analogue.

The SR titanium base is screw retained on the implant with the aid of the SR insertion instrument (2 part).

The model is digitised in the usual way with the Map300 and Map400. First the gingival mask is scanned. The jaw is then scanned. Finally the SR scan body is scanned together with the antagonist using the Artex software.

Note: Implant-supported, occlusally screw-retained bridges are only possible with SR titanium bases and can only be milled using the Ceramill Motion2.

1 Model preparation 2 Scanning

Selection of the type of implant for the respective tooth position given. Selection of the height of the SR adhesive coping.

Example: • Amann Girrbach Range Ten (=

Dentsply Friadent, Frialit/Xive)• SR | Kit c | 4.5mm.

Prepare the design in the usual way. The individual design stages are shown in the video tutorial on the homepage: www.ceramill-m-center.com

Place the finished design in the blank. Positioning and calculation of the design in the blank is completed in the usual way.

3 Designing

Final check for accuracy and fit. Adhesive bonding the restoration with the SR adhesive copings on the model. The individual steps for adhesive bonding can be found in the step-by-step instructions on

our homepage: www.ceramill-m-center.com Recommendation: Adhesive bonding should be completed intraorally.

CAD SOFTWARE UPGRADE (FOR WINDOWS 7) FOR FABRICATING BARS Ceramill M-Bars is an upgrade for the Ceramill Mind CAD software, which enables the in-house production of individually designed bars. Ceramill M-Bars enables the realisation of various bar designs, including locating attachments and drilling holes. The processing of the bars can be done in-house with the Ceramill Motion 2 (5X) in Ceramill Wax and Ceramill Sintron.

• Reliable processing due to passive fabrication of screw-retained bars on implants

• Fast, precise and cost-saving in-house CAD/CAM process for fabricating bars

• Time-consuming manual modelling no longer required

• Wide ranging design options due to custom-set parameters

Amann Girrbach is introducing “Ceramill TI Forms”, which are titanium blanks with prefabricated connection geometry for in-house processing. Ceramill TI-Forms* are available for a wide range of implant systems and can be used for fabricating customised one-piece titanium abutments with outstanding surface quality in-house using the Ceramill Motion 2.

The aesthetic demands in dentistry are increasing and more and more people are willing to invest in their dental health. This ensures unabated, continual and successful advances in implantology. But the price must be right – for end customers and laboratories. An ideal approach to providing both high standards and reasonable costs is the fabrication of customised titanium abutments in-house in the laboratory. What was previously only possible via industrial processing centres and large milling systems is now made possible by Amann Girrbach with the familiar high quality Ceramill Motion 2 and “rotational milling” technology.

In-house fabrication of one-piece customised titanium abutments

In contrast to conventional milling in which the blank mainly remains in a static position, during so-called “multipass milling” in the wet mode the blank rotates continuously around its own axis. This not only reduces the travel paths of the cutter but also provides for uniformly homogeneous material removal and surfaces with both a precise and smooth finish. The user has the optimum benefits from an increase in precision and efficiency.

Only a special adapter, which is available from Amann Girrbach, is required to upgrade already installed Ceramill Motion 2 machines.

Amann Girrbach has developed a hybrid dental CNC system with the Ceramill Motion 2, which combines milling and grinding technology in

the wet and dry mode. This enables dental and practice laboratories to cover an extremely wide range of digital framework fabrication. The attractive price positioning coupled with the wide range of indications, including the dry millable sinter metal Ceramill Sintron, enables every laboratory, regardless of size and orientation, to amortise the system in minimum time. While the 4-axis entry-level model of the Ceramill Motion 2 suits all users who do not require all the milling possibilities, additional axis of the 5X version creates additional opportunities which is particularly beneficial with future digital developments and indications (model milling, full-denture prosthetics, occlusally screw-retained bridges, splints etc.).
