3Shape has released new capabilities in its Dental System to design two-piece, customized abutments using DENTSPLY Friadent pre-manufactured titanium bases.
3Shape has integrated a complete and original DENTSPLY Friadent library within its software supporting DENTSPLY's ANKYLOS and XiVE implant systems. The new library enables dental technicians to use 3Shape Abutment Designer to model two-piece abutments using a pre-manufactured titanium base with a customized Zirconia abutment top. To manufacture the designed restoration, the original titanium base must be obtained from DENTSPLY, and the customized Zirconia part can be milled locally in the lab or milling center.
