Digital technology
determines daily routine in modern dental practice
_Digital dental procedures are increasingly becoming an essential part of the daily routine in the modern dental practice. They render patient management and treatment planning
processes more economical and increase time efficiency. At IDS 2015, digital technologies
thus became a core subject, many exhibitors presented their latest product solutions in the
field.
At IDS 2015, the digital technology offerings available for dental practices formed a focal
point for all visitors in the fields of dentistry and dental technology.
The exhibited product ranges contribute to simplifying workflows and, as a result, to reducing treatment times. They create synergies with the digital range for dental laboratories,
yielding positive implications for practice management and therapeutic procedures. That is
why the state of the art in digital technology for dental practices was a major topic at IDS
2015, said Dr Martin Rickert, Chairman of the Association of German Dental Manufacturers.
Presented products included software for efficient patient management and integrated
treatment planning, as well as digital imaging devices, including CBCT and CT, which have
been used alongside conventional radiographic techniques in recent years.
IDS 2015 gave also special attention to digital scanners, which offer a wide range of advantages for patient-specific restorations and implant planning. In particular, intraoral scanners were in the spotlight, as they have contributed significantly to making prosthetic treatment workflows simplifier and more precise.
Overall, both patients and dentists benefit from the use of digital technologies. They help
shorten treatment time and reduce the number of work stages, and enable the dentist to immediately examine and explain preparations on screen. Furthermore, the data gained through
digital procedures can be quickly processed in the dental practice and sent to dental laboratories.
You will find more information about this year’s IDS inside the issue.

Virtual reality simulation
Indications and perspectives for the
technology in the field of dental education
Authors_ Dr Susan Bridges, Suzanne Perry & Prof. Michael Burrow, Hong Kong & Australia

_Virtual reality (VR) simulation inevitably conjures up images of futuristic technology, imaginary
worlds or complex robotic devices. What it may not
initially suggest is the use of virtual technology as
a means of training dental students and dentists,
facilitating the development of skills in a safe and
relaxed environment.

head simulator.

(Moog) haptic VR simulator.

An increase in demand for simulation units over
the last ten to 10 years has indicated growing interest from dental schools, suggesting a certain confidence that simulation systems have potential as a
recognised form of dental skills training in the future.
Using technology inspired primarily from the flight
simulation industry, dental simulators are now able
to create an environment in which users can practise
clinical procedures, such as restorative dentistry,
endodontics, periodontal assessment, implant placement and even dental extractions.

These systems are a far cry from the first phantom head simulator created in the early 1900s that
attempted to represent the oral cavity with a relatively primitive set of upper and lower dental casts
mounted on a metal pole (Fig. 1). Although phantom head systems are now the mainstay for undergraduate training, educationalists are becoming more aware of the additional benefits of VR
simulation, such as the ability to repeat the same
task many times, providing real-time feedback leading to a reduction in supervision, and the benefits
of students being able to practise in their free time
without laboratory supervisors. Other benefits of VR
simulators include the reduction of consumable
costs incurred with plastic teeth and the elimination of water system management issues, reducing
the possibility of water-borne infections such as
Legionella.
Undoubtedly, the initial cost of the VR simulators
is a major deterrent and, with additional concerns
regarding possible lack of realism to the clinical situation, it is natural that many suggest the need for
more evidence-based research prior to committing
to such an investment.

In the limited literature on VR dental simulation,
studies have been mixed but, in general, are positive
about the use of the technology for dental training.
Research has shown that procedural learning on VR
simulators may be more effective than with the traditional phantom head and may reduce the number
of staff—student interactions without a reduction
in the quality of the practical work.
In contrast, other research has shown that dental performance may be no better using VR simulation and that some students prefer their training to
be on phantom heads. Naturally, further research
will be needed to establish the effectiveness of the
technology.

I new technology _ VR in dentistry
_The future of VR simulation in dentistry
Currently, exciting research involving the universities of Hong Kong and Melbourne is looking into
gaining solid evidence concerning the use of haptic
VR simulation in the dental undergraduate curriculum. By utilising neuroimaging techniques, identification of the traits an expert usually displays can occur, which in turn can be built into training pathways
to enhance the effectiveness of procedural learning.
Initial findings have suggested that distinct differences may be apparent in the brains of dental experts
and novices during a simulated clinical task when using a dental haptic VR simulator. Further work in this
area is to be carried out, with additional investigation
into the positioning of haptic VR simulation within
a curriculum and considering its effectiveness compared with traditional phantom head training techniques.

the Simodont haptic VR simulator.

_What are haptics?
The addition of haptics to VR technology creates a
dimension of sensory feedback for the user. The word
itself originates from the Greek work haptikos, which
means “to touch or grasp”. There are many examples of haptic simulation in modern-day technology,
such as in gaming and the vibration component of a
mobile phone. The aim of haptics in many cases, and
especially simulation, is to improve the realism of the
virtual experience. In dentistry, for example, when
carrying out a cavity preparation on a haptic VR simulator, there is a difference in hardness felt when cutting from enamel to dentine, and if the pulp is damaged an instant loss of resistance occurs, producing
a realistic sensation of drilling through the roof of the
pulp chamber (Figs. 2 & 3).
Naturally, the important question is, does the addition of haptic technology really make a difference
when learning using VR simulation? To answer this,
we have to delve into surgical research for which a
stronger evidence base exists, specifically in the area
of laparoscopy. A review of the use of haptics in surgery suggested that the addition of haptics to simulation can reduce surgical errors and is especially beneficial in the early stages of learning a new skill task.1
Other studies have shown that the addition of haptics
may improve overall performance of surgical skills
and may be beneficial when a trainee is first exposed
to a clinical situation. In dentistry, small-scale studies
of haptic VR simulators suggest that they are at least
as good as phantom heads in training undergraduates.

Already it can be seen that the area of VR in dentistry and especially that of haptic VR simulation is
proving an interesting development, offering encouraging prospects for the future skills-based training of
dentists. The evidence is limited, however, so, prior to
commending this technology as the mainstay of training in dental undergraduate curricula, there is a compelling need to expand the current research base._

_Introduction:
Smile analysis and aesthetic design
Dental facial aesthetics can be defined in three
ways.

smile analysis and aesthetic design.

Traditionally, dental and facial aesthetics have
been defined in terms of macro- and micro-elements. Macro-aesthetics encompasses the interre-

lationships between the face, lips, gingiva, and teeth
and the perception that these relationships are
pleasing. Micro-aesthetics involves the aesthetics
of an individual tooth and the perception that the
colour and form are pleasing.
Historically, accepted smile design concepts and
smile parameters have helped to design aesthetic
treatments. These specific measurements of form,
colour, and tooth/aesthetic elements aid in transferring smile design information between the dentist,
ceramist, and patient. Aesthetics in dentistry can encompass a broad area—known as the aesthetic zone.1
Rufenacht delineated smile analysis into facial
aesthetics, dentofacial aesthetics, and dental aesthetics, encompassing the macro- and micro-elements
described in the first definition above.2 Further classification identifies five levels of aesthetics: facial, orofacial, oral, dentogingival, and dental (Table 1).1, 3

_Initiating smile analysis: Evaluating
facial and orofacial aesthetics
The smile analysis/design process begins at the
macro level, examining the patient’s face first, progressing to an evaluation of the individual teeth, and
finally moving to material selection considerations.
Multiple photographic views (e.g., facial and sagittal)
facilitate this analysis.
At the macro level, facial elements are evaluated
for form and balance, with an emphasis on how they
may be affected by dental treatment.3,4 During the
macro-analysis, the balance of the facial thirds is
examined (Fig. 1). If something appears unbalanced
in any one of those zones, the face and/or smile will
appear unaesthetic.
Such evaluations help determine the extent and
type of treatment necessary to affect the aesthetic
changes desired. Depending on the complexity and
uniqueness of a given case, orthodontics could be
considered when restorative treatment alone would
not produce the desired results (Fig. 2), such as when
facial height is an issue and the lower third is affected. In other cases—but not all—restorative treatment could alter the vertical dimension of occlusion
to open the bite and enhance aesthetics when a patient presents with relatively even facial thirds (Fig. 3).

_What is the proper tooth display, both statically and
dynamically?
_What is the proper intra- and inter- tooth relationship
(e.g., length and size of teeth, arch form)?
_Can the ideal position be achieved with restorative
dentistry alone, or is orthodontics needed?

Fig. 2_Sagittal views best
demonstrate which specialists
should be involved in treatment,
whether orthodontists or maxillofacial surgeons, to best aesthetically
alter the facial aesthetics.

In order to facilitate smile evaluation based on
these landmarks, the rule of 4.2.2—which refers to the
amount of maxillary central display when the lips are
at rest, the amount of gingival tissue revealed, and the
proximity of the incisal line to the lower lip—is helpful (Fig. 5). At a time when patients perceive fuller and
brighter smiles as most aesthetic, 4mm of maxillary
central incisor display while the lips are at rest may
be ideal.2,5 In an aesthetic smile, seeing no more than
2mm of gingiva when the patient is fully smiling is
ideal.6 Finally, the incisal line should come very close
to and almost touch the lower lip, being no more than
2mm away.2 These guidelines are somewhat subjective and should be used as a starting point for determining proper incisal edge position.

Fig. 3_Drawing a line along the
glabella, subnasale, and pogonion
enables a quick evaluation of
aesthetics without the need for
radiographs to determine alignment
of ideal facial elements.

_Evaluating oral aesthetics
The dentolabial gingival relationship, which is
considered oral aesthetics, has traditionally been the
starting point for treatment planning. This process
begins by determining the ideal maxillary incisal edge
placement (Fig. 4). This is accomplished by understanding the incisal edge position relative to several different landmarks. The following questions can be used
to determine the ideal incisal edge position:
_Where in the face should the maxillary incisal edges
be placed?

minus 3mm of gingival display, and

edge and the lower lip (right).

_Dentogingival aesthetics
Fig. 6_Gingival symmetry in relation
to the central incisors, lateral incisors
and canines is essential to aesthetics. Optimal aesthetics is achieved
when the gingival line is relatively
horizontal and symmetrical on both
sides of the midline in relation to the
central incisors and lateral incisors.
Fig. 7_The aesthetic ideal from the
gingival scallop to the tip of the
papilla is 4–5mm.

Gingival margin placement and the scalloped
shape, in particular, are well discussed in the literature. As gingival heights are measured, heights relative to the central incisor, lateral incisor, and canine in
an up/down/up relationship are considered aesthetic
(Fig. 6). However, this may create a false perception
that the lateral gingival line is incisal to the central incisor. Rather, in most aesthetic tooth relationships,
the gingival line of the four incisors is approximately
the same line (Fig. 6), with the lateral incisor perhaps
being slightly incisal.7 The gingival line should be rel-

atively parallel to the horizon for the central incisors
and the lateral incisors and symmetric on each side of
the midline.2,8 The gingival contours (i.e., gingival
scallop) should follow a radiating arch similar to the
incisal line. The gingival scallop shapes the teeth and
should be between 4mm and 5mm (Fig. 7).9
Related to normal gingival form is midline placement. Although usually the first issue addressed in
smile design, it is not as significant as tooth form, gingival form, tooth shape, or smile line.
Several rules can be applied when considering modifying the midline to create an aesthetic smile design:
_The midline only should be moved to establish an
aesthetic intra- and inter-tooth relationship, with
the two central incisors being most important.
_The midline only should be moved restoratively up to
the root of the adjacent tooth. If the midline is within
4mm of the centre of the face, it will be aesthetically
pleasing.
_The midline should be vertical when the head is in the
postural rest position.

_Evaluating dental aesthetics
Part of evaluating dental aesthetics for smile design is choosing tooth shapes for patients based on
their facial characteristics (e.g., long and dolichocephalic, or squarish and brachycephalic). When patients present with a longer face, a more rectangular
tooth within the aesthetic range is appropriate. For
someone with a square face, a tooth with an 80 %
width-to-length ratio would be more appropriate.

Fig. 7

special _ smile analysis and smile design

Fig. 8

The width-to-length ratio most often discussed in
the literature is between 75% and 80%, but aesthetic
smiles could demonstrate ratios between 70% and
75% or between 80% and 85% (Figs. 8–10).1
The length of teeth also affects aesthetics. Maxillary
central incisors average between 10 mm and 11mm
in length. According to Magne, the average length of
an unworn maxillary central to the cementoenamel
junction is slightly over 11mm.10 The aesthetic zone for
central incisor length, according to the authors, is between 10.5mm and 12mm, with 11mm being a good
starting point. Lateral incisors are between 1mm and
a maximum of 2mm shorter than the central incisors,
with the canines slightly shorter than the central incisors by between 0.5mm and 1mm (Fig. 11).
The inter-tooth relationship, or arch form, involves
the golden proportion and position of tooth width.
Although it is a good beginning, it does not reflect
natural tooth proportions. Natural portions demonstrate a lateral incisor between 60% and 70% of the
width of the central incisor, and this is larger than the
golden proportion.11 However, a rule guiding propor-

Fig. 9

tions is that the canine and all teeth distal should be
perceived to occupy less visual space (Fig. 12). Another rule to help maintain proportions throughout
the arch is 1-2-3-4-5; the lateral incisor is two-thirds
of the central incisor and the canine is four-fifths of
the lateral incisor, with some latitude within those
spaces (Fig. 13). Finally, contact areas can be moved
restoratively up to the root of the adjacent tooth.
Beyond that, orthodontics is required (Fig. 14).

_Creating a digital smile designed in
Photoshop
Although there are digital smile design services
available to dentists for a fee, it is possible to use
Photoshop CS5 software (Adobe Systems) to create
and demonstrate for patients the proposed smile
design treatments. It starts by creating tooth grids—
predesigned tooth templates in different width-tolength ratios (e.g., 75% central, 80% central) that can
be incorporated into a custom smile design based on
patient characteristics. You can create as many different tooth grids as you like with different tooth proportions in the aesthetic zone. Once completed, you

for central incisors is 11mm in length,

will not have to do this step again, since you will save
the created tooth grids and use them to create a new
desired outline form for the desired teeth.
Follow these recommended steps:
_To begin creating a tooth grid, use a cheek-retracted
image of an attractive smile as a basis (e.g., one with
a 75% width-to-length ratio). Open the image in
Photoshop and create a new clear transparent layer
on top of the teeth (Fig. 15). This transparent layer
will enable the image to be outlined without the
work being embedded into the image.
_Name the layer appropriately and, when prompted
to identify your choice of fill, choose “no fill,” since
the layer will be transparent, except for the tracing
of the tooth grid.
_To begin tracing the tooth grid, activate a selection
tool, move to the tool palette, and select either the
polygonal lasso tool or the magnetic lasso tool. In
the authors’ opinion, the polygonal works best. Once
activated, zoom in (Fig. 16) and trace the teeth with
the lasso tool.
_To create a pencil outline of the tooth, with the
transparent layer active, click on the edit menu in
the menu bar; in the edit drop-down menu, select

perfect tracing of your selection. Click “OK” to stroke
the selection. Select (trace with the lasso selection
tool) one tooth at a time and then stroke it (Fig. 18).
Select and stroke (trace) the teeth up to the second
premolar (the first molar is acceptable; Fig. 19).
_The image should be sized now for easy future use in
a smile design. In the authors’ experience, it is best to
adjust the size of the image to a height of 720 pixels
(Fig. 20) by opening up the image size menu and
selecting 720 pixels for the height. The width will
adjust proportionately.
_At this time, the tooth grid tracing can be saved, without the image of the teeth, by double-clicking on the
layer of the tooth image. A dialog box reading “new
layer” will appear; click “OK.” This process unlocks the
layer of the teeth so it can be removed. Drag the layer
of the teeth to the trash, leaving only the layer with
the tracing of the teeth (Fig. 21). In the file menu, click
“save as” and choose “.png” or “.psd” (Photoshop) as
the file type. This will preserve the transparency. You
do not want to save it as a JPEG, since this would
create a white background around the tracing. Name
the file appropriately (e.g., 75% W/L central).
_By tracing several patients’ teeth that have tooth
size and proportion in the aesthetic zone and saving
them, you can create a library of tooth grids to custom design new teeth for your patients who require
smile designs.

_The Photoshop smile design technique
The Photoshop Smile Design (PSD) technique
can be done on any image, and images can be combined to show the full face or the lower third with
lips on or lips off. This article demonstrates how to
perform the technique on the cheek-retracted
view.
The first step in the PSD technique is to create a
digital conversion of the actual tooth length and
width, and then digitally determine the proposed
new length and proportion of the teeth.
Determining digital tooth size
To determine digital tooth size, follow these steps:
_Create a conversion factor by dividing the proposed
length (developed from the smile analysis) by the
existing length of the tooth.
_The patient’s tooth can be measured in the mouth or
on the cast (Fig. 22). If the length measures 8.5mm
but needs to be at 11 mm for an aesthetic smile,
divide 11 by 8.5. The conversion factor equals 1.29,
a 29% digital increase lengthwise.
_Open the full-arch cheek-retracted view in Photoshop, and zoom in on the central incisor.
_Select the eyedropper palette. A new menu will
appear. Select the ruler tool (Fig. 23).


[17] => CDE0109_01_Titel
special _ smile analysis and smile design

_Click and drag the ruler tool from the top to
the bottom of the tooth to generate a vertical
number, in this case 170 pixels (Fig. 24). Multiply
the number of pixels by the conversion factor. In
this case, 170 x 1.29 = 219 pixels; 219 pixels is
digitally equivalent to 11 mm (Fig. 25). Determine the digital tooth width using the same formula.
_Create a new layer, leave it transparent, and mark
the measurement with the pencil tool (Fig. 26).

_Introduction

_Preoperative situation

This article is written in celebration of zirconium
oxide, a material which has firmly established itself
in the dental laboratory over the past 15 years or so.
If appropriately used, zirconium oxide restorations
produce very strong and durable results. They also
satisfy demanding aesthetic requirements due to
their translucent properties. The following case
study shows how monolithic zirconium oxide is effectively incorporated into the digital manufacturing chain to produce highly cost-effective dental
restorations without having to compromise on aesthetics. In the case presented, a wax-up was crafted
which served as a basis for fabricating a provisional
restoration (TelioR CAD for Zenotec, Wieland Dental)
and a permanent restoration (Zenostar Zr Translucent, Wieland Dental) with one digital data set and
CAD/CAM milling equipment.

The patient presented to the dental practice with a
fractured ceramic inlay restoration in tooth 26 which
she wished to have replaced. The tooth had been restored many years previously. Since tooth 25 and
tooth 35 were discoloured as a result of root canal
treatment, they were included in the treatment plan.
The existing tooth structure of tooth 26, which had
been prepared to accommodate the inlay in the past,
was preserved to the best possible extent. The patient
had very high aesthetic expectations and wanted the
explicit assurance that the crowns would look completely natural. Nonetheless, we decided to use a very
efficient fabrication method in which monolithic
restorations are produced with translucent zirconium oxide (Zenostar Zr Translucent). Three options
are available for fabricating monolithic restorations
with this approach:

2. milling, sintering, individualization with ceramic
characterization materials, glazing;
3. milling, individualization with infiltration liquids,
sintering, glazing (highly aesthetic).
We chose to pursue the third method, which would
be very cost-effective as a result of the benefits offered by the digital workflow.

_Advanced zirconium oxide
Zirconium oxide is more than twice as strong
as other dental ceramics, and it exhibits excellent
mechanical properties. Due to its translucent characteristics, the material has been fulfilling highly aesthetic requirements for quite some time now. The material is used to fabricate full-contour (monolithic)
restorations and 20 frameworks that provide a base
for individualized veneers. The zirconium oxide ma-

terial Zenostar Zr Translucent shows excellent light
transmission. In this system, efficiency teams up with
aesthetics to offer impressive results. The wide range
of discs, the matching stains and the brush infiltration
technique allow lifelike effects to be imparted to
restorations in a relatively short time.

_Preparation
The following aspects were paramount in preparing teeth 25, 35 and 26 for the ceramic restorations:
avoidance of sharp edges and observation of a minimum wall thickness. The benefits of using zirconium
oxide include the material’s high strength and as a
consequence, the fact that very little tooth structure
needs to be removed. The cavity in tooth 26 already
showed extensive preparation. However, in order to
properly anchor the new restoration, re-preparation
was shown to be inevitable. The cavity had to be extended towards the buccal aspect. Despite being very

_Fabrication of long-term temporaries
According to the treatment plan, the patient
would have to wear long-term temporaries for
a period of several months. In order to fabricate
these restorations, a wax-up was created (Figs. 1
& 2). In this type of situation we prefer to use the
manual wax-up technique, because we have
found this method to be faster. Alternatively, the
restorations could have been virtually designed.
Irrespective of the method used, a lasting result
can only be achieved if the technician has an indepth knowledge of the principles of functional
occlusion.
The waxed up crowns were transformed into
long-term temporaries with CAD/CAM equipment. First, the physical models and wax-ups
were digitally scanned (Zenotec D500, Wieland
Dental) and the STL file was imported into a corresponding design software (Dental DesignerTM,
3Shape) (Fig. 3). Then, all the parameters were
suitably adjusted and the construction data was
transferred to the milling machine (Zenotec select, Wieland Dental), where the restoration was
cut from a PMMA-based disc (Telio CAD for
Zenotec) (Figs. 4 & 5).

thin, the buccal cusp walls were in an acceptable condition. The main objective was to maintain the tooth
by restoring it with a crown. Following the preparation phase, impressions were taken of the upper and
lower jaws and the occlusal relationship was established. Then, the clinician fabricated the provisional
restoration chairside with the help of a customized
tray.

The milled crowns were re-worked only minimally and then placed on the model. In order to
impart the PMMA restorations with a naturallooking appearance, their surface texture was finished in such a way that a natural play of light was
achieved. The crowns were subsequently polished
with a special polishing medium and goat’s hair
brushes (Fig.6a). Next, the clinician removed the
chairside provisional restorations and cemented
the long-term temporaries with a suitable luting
composite (TelioR CS Link) (Fig. 6b).

as possible, the existing data set, which had been validated by means of the longterm temporaries, was used
(Fig. 7). We selected the translucent zirconium oxide

terial comes in disc form and in six different shades.
We decided to use the “sun” variant, which would give
the restorations a warm, reddish foundation. Various
possibilities of finishing the restoration were available
after the milling process (Zenotec select) (Fig. 8). In this
case, the unsintered structures were characterized
with the colour infiltration method.

Fig. 12_The occlusal surfaces
are polished before the stains
are applied.

_Finishing: brush infiltration
In the brush technique, the milled structures
(crowns) are infiltrated with a colouring liquid
(Zenostar Color Zr, Wieland Dental). In this process,
the restorations acquire a lifelike appearance,
showing a tooth-like progression of shade, already
before the sintering procedure. All the A-D shades
can be reproduced with these colouring solutions.
Five additional characterization stains are available.
In the case at hand, the bar joints were removed
from the milled crowns 26, 25 and 35 by grinding,
and the surfaces were smoothed (Figs. 9a & b). Subsequently, the colouring liquid was selectively
brushed on the cusp tips, around the margins and in
deep fissures (Figs. 10a to 11b).

The charm of this colourless liquid lies in the
fact that it can be made visible. For this purpose a
drop of colour concentrate (Zenostar VisualiZr,
Wieland Dental) is added to the solution. As a result, the individual liquids can be easily distinguished from each other when they are brushed on
the restoration. The colouring material is composed of organic pigments which fire without
leaving any significant residue. Next, the restorations were sintered at 1,450 °C (Zenotec Fire P1,
Wieland Dental). After the sintering process, the
crowns appeared lifelike and showed a warm and
natural glow due to the reddish zirconium oxide
used. Only a few minor adjustments had to be
made on the basis of the inspection on the model.
As a result, this approach not only ensures savings
in terms of time and money, but it also heightens
quality assurance.
At this stage—before the staining materials
were applied—the zirconium oxide crowns were
polished and the surfaces were smoothed (Fig. 12).
This effectively counteracted the common concern of abrasion.
Before the crowns were fired, a glaze (Zenostar
Magic Glaze, Wieland Dental) was sprayed on
their surfaces in order to establish an even base for
the application of the staining materials. Stains in
paste form (Zenostar Art Module Pastes, Wieland
Dental) were used to characterize the restorations.
The pastes had to be mixed to a soft, smooth consistency before they could be applied. The cervical
and incisal areas of the restorations were individualized with the stains (Fig. 13). A film of glaze was
sprayed on the restorations (Fig. 14) before they
were fired. The combination of the stains and the
lightly fluorescent spray glaze produced a threedimensional effect.

technique _ monolithic posterior tooth restorations

After the final firing, the crowns did not appear
any different from layered restorations. On the
contrary, they looked very lifelike and showed a
natural internal play of colour. In the next step, the
occlusal contacts were checked in the articulator
and the proximal contacts on the model. Then the
crowns were sent to the dental practice for placement.

_Seating of the restorations
Teeth 25, 35 and 26 were suitably prepared for
the permanent restorations. Unfortunately, the attempt to save tooth 26 failed. The buccal crown
wall fractured when the long-term temporary was
removed. Right from the beginning, we were aware
of the fact that the remaining part of this tooth
might not be strong enough to withstand the
treatment.
At this stage, therefore, it became quite clear
that the tooth could not be preserved. Consequently,
the long-term temporaries were re-seated and a
new treatment plan was presented to the patient for
tooth 26 on the basis of a detailed analysis. A few
weeks later, the permanent all-ceramic crowns were
cemented (SpeedCEMR) on tooth 25 and tooth 35.
The plan was to replace tooth 26 with an implantsupported restoration at a later date.

_Conclusion
The monolithic zirconium oxide crowns on tooth
25 and tooth 35 were indiscernible from the other
teeth (Figs. 15 & 16). The patient reported that she
was able to chew comfortably and naturally. The
CAD/CAM fabrication protocol allowed the crowns
to be cost-effectively produced. The translucent
material (Zenostar Zr Translucent) that was used in
this case showed a high level of light transmission.
Therefore, it offered the ideal basis for reproducing
the optical properties of the natural teeth. The described approach will help to satisfy the rising number of cost-conscious and aesthetically discerning
patients, since it offers an attractive alternative to
individually layered ceramic crowns and cast crowns
made of precious or non-precious metal._

CAD/CAM custom-milled
titanium bar for rehabilitation
of an atrophic upper jaw
Author_ Dr Richard Marcelat, France

_Case presentation
A 75-year-old non-smoking female patient,
whose rheumatoid polyarthritis has been treated
with methotrexate for seven years, presented. This
patient has been fully edentulous in the upper jaw for
30 years. She wore a removable partial denture in the
lower jaw and a removable complete denture in the
upper jaw. Stability of the latter was very precarious
owing to severe crestal bone resorption. The patient’s
motivations were mostly function orientated; she
was eager to regain chewing comfort.

_CAD/CAM is playing an increasing role in the
production of implant-retained prostheses. These digital technologies constitute a major advancement in
terms of fit accuracy of the superstructure.1,2 Rehabilitating a fully edentulous upper jaw with an implantretained overdenture may require delicate treatment
because of the biomechanical and anatomical considerations associated with severe bone resorption. This
article describes the contribution of these new digital
technologies to the construction of milled bars for
rehabilitation in such cases.

There are centrifugal forces in the lower and centripetal forces in the upper jaw, and bone resorption
reduces the volume of the latter, causing an offset
between the upper and lower jaws. This offset, which
was to be compensated for by the overdenture, must
be taken into account at implant placement.
Pre-implantation surgery
DentaScan (GE Healthcare) allows the evaluation,
as a complement to the initial panoramic radiograph,
of the residual bone volume available for implantretained rehabilitation. In the present case, this examination confirmed that the upper jaw was atrophic
(Figs. 1 & 2). Therefore, bone reconstruction was necessary prior to implant treatment. A bilateral sinus lift

the sinus floor was filled with allogeneic bone (maxgraft, botiss biomaterials) mixed beforehand with the
venous coagulum collected at the beginning of surgery. The following step entailed covering the allogeneic bone with a collagen membrane (Bio-Gide,
Geistlich) and a platelet-rich fibrin membrane. The

featuring a reverse conical neck, the conical, doublethreaded implants selected for this rehabilitation
(Fig. 4a) allowed us to obtain excellent primary anchoring, as they, along with the drilling protocol, encourage bone condensation in areas with low bone
density. Moreover, the osteoconductive potential of
their BCP (biphasic calcium phosphate) grit-blasted

relationship and occlusion were then checked on
the patient by means of a denture set-up placed on a
thermoformed hard basis. This set-up reflected the
patient’s wishes regarding aesthetics too.

The master cast with abutment analogues and
silicone gingiva was fabricated at the laboratory
(Figs. 5a & b) and then checked in the dental office using an index made of non-expanding stone in order to
ensure absolute precision (Fig. 6). This step is essential
to ensure that the master model is perfectly accurate.4
The maxillomandibular relationship is then transferred to the articulator by relining the existing prosthesis on conical caps of abutments (a bite wax on
a hard basis—a technique considered more accurate
by some—can be used instead). The interpupillary line
was registered by means of an inclinometer (Amann-

The laboratory produced a resin pattern of the
substructure (Fig. 7), namely a milled bar as a true

approval, the master model and wax-up were sent to
Simeda (Anthogyr). This fabrication centre scans the
master model and virtually designs the component
to be produced (Figs. 8a & b). After approval of this
virtual model at the laboratory by means of a 3-D PDF

of titanium, using a five-axis CNC milling machine (Fig.
10).5 Titanium—four times lighter than semi-precious
alloys—is the lightest metal used in dentistry. It offers
excellent biocompatibility and very good mechanical
properties.6 The metal is highly reactive to oxygen:
when the metal is exposed to air, a protective film, the
passivation layer, builds up on its surface and makes it
extremely resistant to corrosion and chemical attacks.
Titanium offers additional advantages in oral implantology. The density of the materials used is crucial.

The weight of a prosthesis for an upper jaw appears
to be a key factor for treatment success.
A few days later, the bar was tried in the patient’s
mouth. It was perfectly adjusted and seated passively
(Figs. 11a–d). Milled bars exhibit a precision fit better
than 10µ. The substructure was sent back to the laboratory technician, who then produced the framework using the silicone indices of the approved functional and aesthetic set-up.

The restoration consisted of two distinct parts:
_the milled bar screwed on to the multi-unit abutments; and
_the removable telescopic part: the prosthesis, friction-retained on the bar (Figs. 12a–c).7,8
As the seven implants were well distributed over
the entire arch, no palatal coverage was needed,
meaning enhanced comfort for the patient. Retention of the prosthesis by the bar was enhanced by
four CEKA attachments (ALPHADENT; Fig. 13).
A milled bar-retained removable prosthesis can
be considered an attractive option for patients presenting with an atrophic upper jaw and/or bruxism
because it efficiently compensates for the tissue loss,
ensuring a good aesthetic outcome, in addition to
excellent stability and retention of the prosthesis.9
For this reason, this option is classified by some as
falling in the category of removable bridges.9–12 The
prosthesis is nevertheless resilient enough to withstand high mechanical stress, reducing the risk of
fracture, especially that of the veneering layer.13,14

Fig. 13

As the subtractive fabrication technique (milling)
associated with this CAD ensures that the material
structure will not be altered, a metal substructure
featuring optimal density and homogeneity is obtained. In addition, the computerized configuration
of this process ensures reproducible results and irreproachable passive insertion of these substructures.

_Conclusion
Today’s laboratory scanners can digitize the
model, wax-up and implant index. CAD/CAM technology offers unmatched work quality, precision and
reproducibility compared with conventional procedures. It is certainly the most appropriate technology
for producing implant-retained superstructures. This
technology also allows improved passive fit of substructures and facilitates the work of the laboratory
technician.
Passive fit as a prerequisite for successful implantretained prostheses ensures long-term reliability of
rehabilitation work.25 Moreover, the fabrication centres can machine biocompatible materials such as
titanium and zirconia.

_Discussion
With conventional casting techniques, producing
a substructure for an implant-retained prosthesis remains technically difficult.15,16 The difficulty of achieving passive fit is proportional to the number of elements and volume of the substructure. Despite the
advances in casting technology, in the case of largespan substructures, primary or secondary brazing is
often needed to compensate for the dimension variations in order to achieve an absolutely passive fit.17,18
Such an accurate, passive fit of the substructure is essential for the bone physiology of implants and longterm reliability of implant-retained rehabilitations.19,20
Owing to its high precision, CAD/CAM is an invaluable
tool for evolving the prosthetic workflow technologically.1,21 The restoration is designed based on a 3-D
CAD image created from the scanned data.22–24
CAD software allows modelling of the prosthesis,
taking into account the material selected (such as zirconia; titanium; cobalt–chromium; IPS e.max, Ivoclar
Vivadent; and PMMA).

Opening the patient’s eyes
Dr Luc Vrielinck, an oral and
maxillofacial surgeon, an expert in
computer- and model-based implant
planning systems, and a user of
NobelClinician Communicator,
explains how he walks his patients
through the treatment process step
by step. In this interview, he provides
some valuable insight into the use of
the application.

powerful visual information can be
when communicating with a patient.
NobelClinician Communicator makes
it possible to consult with the patient

rates, potential complications and

It has always worked very well, but today I prefer
to start discussions using an iPad rather than a computer screen. Although using the NobelClinician Communicator app requires a few extra preparation steps
before the NobelClinician planning is ready for viewing on the iPad, it is well worth the effort. Patients
are always impressed with the beautiful images and
rarely hesitate to engage with these images when
asking specific questions.
The NobelClinician Communicator app makes it
possible for me to explain the general treatment plan
to the patient and allows me to demonstrate visually
the need for additional procedures, such as bone
grafting and the use of membranes for augmenting
the thickness of the dentoalveolar ridge. It can also
help me to illustrate the need for a sinus lift, or simply
depict the patient’s own bone anatomy clearly, which
always facilitates a treatment planning conversation.

Having a view in all directions of the bone anatomy
adds to one’s clinical knowledge and augments the
experience of the clinician. While classic radiology
allows us to see the bone, CBCT analysis and 3-D computer planning allow us to define and understand
treatment planning. Knowing and seeing, after all, are
two different things.

_What changed when you began using the NobelClinician Communicator iPad app?

_What has your experience been using NobelClinician as a patient communication tool?

It serves as a natural and non-intimidating introduction to treatment planning, after which the clini-


[33] => CDE0109_01_Titel
feature _ interview

cian can easily start discussing success rates, potential complications and treatment alternatives in order
to obtain the informed consent of the patient.
The NobelClinician Communicator app provides
an open invitation to discuss the treatment ahead,
including treatment choices that need to be made,
and makes it possible to consider much more than the
type of implant to be placed.
_Could you explain to us how you use the NobelClinician Communicator app to discuss the treatment
plan with your patients?
Mostly, I start in a cross-sectional view (radiographic cross-sectional image) to explain the bone
structure and bone volume. Next, I show a planned
implant at its intended location. The virtual implant is
depicted in blue and around the implant is a yellow
outline (the safety zone). I describe the importance of
this safety zone and use it to explain that an actual
treatment can never be as precise as depicted on a
screen.
I also explain—if relevant—the relation of the
implant to the inferior alveolar nerve or the maxillary
sinus. If the yellow zones are larger than the thickness
of the bone, this can be viewed easily and provides an
opening for me to explain the necessity of grafting
procedures in such situations to the patient.

_How do your patients perceive the use of such
sophisticated technology in their treatment?
I do not think our patients are surprised to see
the team using an iPad these days. An iPad is used by
the implantologist for explaining the treatment plan
to the patient, by the dental nurse in rehearsing the
treatment plan before the surgery actually starts,
and by the administrative treatment co-ordinator to
establish which implants and components have to be
available and eventually ordered.
If a practice is up to date, well organized and professional, patients should not be surprised to see us
using this technology. Rather, I think they ought to be
surprised if it is not being used!
_Could you explain to us why using the NobelClinician Communicator app helps you gain patient
acceptance of your proposed treatment plan?
The NobelClinician Communicator app is a basic
tool used to present an agglomerate of knowledge to
the patient. The process may have started with a prosthetic set-up and continued with the CBCT scan and
the subsequent treatment planning, but it will always
end up with a final presentation of a solution to the
patient, and that is where this app excels.

When the different individual implant positions
are explained, I often show a 3-D bone model of the
jaw to the patient, but certainly not in every case.
Sometimes the 3-D CBCT images are difficult for patients to interpret, especially in partially edentulous
cases.

The app is not fancy imaging software; it is a tool
used to explain the treatment to the patient. If the
patient feels that one step logically follows the other
to a good solution, he or she will be inclined to accept
the treatment plan proposed via the app in front of
him or her. But it does not stop there. The app can also
be used to explain alternative treatment modalities,
paving the way for informed patient consent._

_NobelClinician can shorten treatment time and
increase safety. Could you imagine working without
it today?

To read more about the user-friendly solution for diagnostics, treatment planning and patient communication, please
visit nobelbiocare.com/nobelclinician.

To me, whether to use NobelClinician for a case is
not in doubt. It is a natural part of the pathway leading to the treatment plan.

Editorial note: iPad is a trademark of Apple Inc.

For my patients, the use of NobelClinician is very
straightforward, and they generally understand it
intuitively. Its purpose is to assess the bone volume
of the patient, to see if implant treatment is possible,
to evaluate whether there is a need for bone augmentation, and to determine the type of implants to
be used.
This assessment results in the formulation of the
treatment plan. In the practice of implant dentistry,
conscientious planning is a necessity for me, like food
and water.

_The rise of same-day dentistry
A more active role in the manufacture of restorations opens up avenues for dental clinics to significantly increase their patient volume and grow their
business. A streamlined digital workflow ensures the

full utilization of resources, leading to a more efficient
treatment environment. Same-day dentistry is as
beneficial for patients as it is for clinics: instead of two
visits, patients can be treated in 1 hour—with no temporary crowns or physical dental models required.

_Open architecture for maximized
efficiency
Standardized data is the driving force behind many
of the latest developments in digital dentistry, as it
guarantees the interoperability of images and dental
data across different hardware platforms—reducing
costs, increasing predictability and enhancing patient safety. Bringing Planmeca’s CBCT and CAD/CAM
systems together through Planmeca Romexis makes
effective chairside dentistry a reality and presents
dentists with a streamlined opportunity to grow their
practice substantially._

scope. It represents a major leap forward and as
such it presents the next software generation in
one fell swoop. Some of the many new and ongoing developments are presented briefly in this
article.

_How it all began

Fig. 1

Fig. 1_Screenshot of the
software from 2010.

_exocad, a company based in Darmstadt in
Germany, follows the approach of continuous integration to increase product quality. For this
reason, our design software, exocad DentalCAD,
has been developed incrementally since its launch.
This year, there is an update that is unique in its

exocam CAM software.

36 I CAD/CAM
2_ 2015

The Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research in Darmstadt is one of the world’s
leading institutions for applied visual computing.
This is where the initial DentalCAD software was
developed. It was characterized by its particular
ease of operation, rapidly achievable results and
open interface for integrating various scanners
and milling machines. The first version was completed in 2008. On 1 March 2010, the then newly
established spin-off company, exocad, was announced as the exclusive licensee. Even then, the
clientele ranged from A for Amann Girrbach of
Koblach in Austria to Z for Zirkonzahn of Gais in
Italy. Figure 1 provides an image of the software
in 2010. A great deal has changed since then and
the new version is being launched not only with
additional features, but also with a completely redesigned user interface.


[37] => CDE0109_01_Titel

I

_New user interface
The basic tried-and-trusted workflow when creating jobs and casting remains essentially unchanged
despite the update, so that users of the current version can still find their way around instantly. However, we have implemented closer integration of the
exoscan scanning software and the exocam CAM
software (Fig. 2).
Besides the usual process chains, however, the
update provides far more than a mere facelift in terms
of the user interface; this has been completely redesigned. Until now, only subtle changes have been
made to the design in order to keep the training costs
for existing customers to a minimum. However, according to exocad CEO Tillmann Steinbrecher, the
time had come to give the software a contemporary
look, take account of the current technical findings in
software development and match them to a changed
user experience. With regard to the graphic conceptual design, this involved implementing a contemporary flat look. In this style of interface design of applications and websites, the use of realistic-looking
textures, shadows and ornamentation, as well as 3-D
elements, is deliberately avoided. The move away
from gradients in favour of flatter space and a rather
minimalist design is intended to guide the user’s eye
in a more focused manner towards the essentials
and support more intuitive menu navigation. The new
software’s clear structure is also supported by a
bolder use of colour in the design language, such as
with group lists (Fig. 3). The demand in the past for
realistic icons, based on physical objects as far as possible, is long since obsolete. As (almost) every regular
dental technician now has much greater experience
in this area owing to tablets, smartphones and the
like, increased abstraction is possible. This design also
takes into account that with desktops there has been
an increasing use of touch screens, which could eventually become the standard. Some newcomers may
feel that navigation in a 3-D space with a conventional mouse is certainly a challenge. Operation with
three-finger multi-touch is usually easier.

perspectives and each positioned spatially or certain
areas can be cropped out and overlaid or blanked out
at any time, for example to visualise the lip line.
If required, there is an option to export a 3-D PDF
of the plan, including notes in the 3-D space, in order
to obtain the dentist’s feedback, for example. In designing, the wizard can now be opened and closed at
will without the history being lost. Access to frequently used features has been made easier, so that
displaying penetration by the counter bite is achievable with just one click of the mouse.
Plus, new notifications, for example with contextsensitive prompts, ensure that the user is made aware
whenever the software notices inefficient working
methods. This may be the case, for example, whenever
time-saving hot keys, that is, key combinations for
specific commands, are not used.

The tools for free forming have been developed
with the claim of being able to do everything that is
possible in wax. Among other things, any geometrics
can be added or subtracted and marked via the new
paint and pull features for dynamic reshaping. For
example, interlocks can now be designed more flexibly (Fig. 7). Furthermore, the ZRS Wiedmann Dental
Library (Manfred Wiedmann Gesicht und Zähne) has
been expanded with additional posterior teeth samples (Fig. 8) and our Model Creator now even supports
the use of implant libraries (Fig. 9).

_For those who like experimenting
In November 2014, exocad announced its purchase of STI’s SensAble Dental Lab System. According
to exocad’s executive board, this is the most flexible
and high-performance platform for model casting
designs currently available. However, its operation is
said to be rather complicated and only suitable for
power users so far.
The software is now available as a technology preview for exocad users to download free of charge at
exocad.com/technology-preview. An integrated and
optimised version will appear during the year._

Enter the world of CAD/CAM
technology with Interdent
Author_ Urša Zagožen

Figs. 1a–c_Milling units
CC POWER (a),
CC COSMO (b)
and CC TRENDY (c).

_With over 35 years of experience, a mission to
produce quality products and an environment in
which the user plays the decisive role, Interdent is now
presenting CAD/CAM technology with unlimited possibilities.
The company’s mission has always been to keep
track of new trends in dental care. CAD/CAM technology has been on the market for over 20 years;
however, despite its initial boom, it developed rather slowly. At the beginning, it was based on processing minor non-metal ceramic restorations,
but there were problems concerning precision, speed and the choice of available material at the time. Today, the precision of
gingival fit is already extremely fine, although differences remain between the systems. With adequate materials available, it is
also possible to mill larger restorations;
however, there are many systems on the
market that fail to provide comprehensive
systems for dental laboratories. Systems
are limited to milling only certain materials
and, furthermore, many providers charge licence fees, which means an additional cost
for the user along with the initial investment.
Every new technology takes time to become complete and to find their way on the market. This year,
Interdent paved the way with its new milling units:
CC POWER, CC COSMO and CC TRENDY, which are
available to users of various profiles. The needs of
dental technicians across the world differ greatly,
primarily depending on the existing
capacities and development of
the respective dental laboratory.
The needs of a laboratory employing 200 people are significantly different from the needs
of a laboratory employing ten
people. Since Interdent is focused on the international market, it adopted a broad perspective during development
(Figs. 1a–c).

40 I CAD/CAM
2_ 2015

This was the reason for producing CC POWER,
which with its immense power of 2.5 kW is suitable
for the most demanding of users, as it is able to operate 24/7, maintaining productivity and precision,
while the compact CC COSMO and CC TRENDY are
intended for medium-sized laboratories that will
largely use the device for their own needs. All three
units are extremely compact, with all components
placed on a seamless cast-iron block not bound to
the housing, thus preventing vibrations and providing greater precision. The major difference between
the units lies in power, and all of the units allow fiveaxis simultaneous milling. The axes are driven by alternating current servo-motors made pursuant to
the top industrial standards and ensuring very precise movements, a long service life and the accurate
processing of all materials.
Both units enable wet
and dry milling and include a holder for 18 (CC
POWER), 20 (CC COSMO)
and eight (CC TRENDY) burs.
Hence, the user does not waste
time changing burs for the material to be milled. The unit automatically selects the necessary bur and, if required, replaces it during milling (Fig. 2).

CC POWER, CC COSMO and CC TRENDY are manufactured using only the best, as is evident from
the spindle produced by Jäger, one of the top makers of spindles for CNC machines. Its pneumatic tool
changer and power enable faster milling without
affecting precision.
The materials that can be milled by the units come
in the form of discs measuring 98mm in diameter
and include cobalt–chromium, titanium, zirconium,
PMMA, wax and composite. There is also an adapter
for minor blocks, so that CC POWER, CC COSMO and
CC TRENDY can also be used to process glass-ceramic
and other blocks. These blocks are processed using
diamond burs and water-cooling (Figs. 3 & 4).
The milling calculations and the management
of movements are controlled by electronic systems
that meet the highest industrial standards. The user
operates the unit via a tablet computer installed on
a special stand and running the Windows 8 operating system.
Our development focused on providing users with
an excellent system that will guarantee top quality
and precision, be easy to use and protect users from
additional costs due to licence fees.
For this reason, we use the Sum 3D CAM software
with our CAD/CAM units. It is used to plan for milling
and is considered one of the best programs in dentistry. Upon purchasing the program, the user receives a licence for unlimited
use, so no subsequent payments of monthly or annual
licence fees are required.
Furthermore, our vision
guided us to offer a comprehensive CAD/CAM system that
would, in addition to the CC
POWER, CC COSMO and CC TRENDY
milling units with open Sum 3D software, include a scanner. We searched for the best
and included the Identica Blue Scanner (Medit) and
exocad DentalCAD in our product range (Fig. 5).

Dental CAD software, which is noted for its easy handling and wide selection of modules (crowns, links,
inlays, veneers, onlays, primary crowns, implants,
virtual articulator, shafts, model design, temporary
substitutes, TruSmile, etc.). The thing that most impresses every user is the setting of the preparation
limit, which is done at the click of a button, offering
a major advantage over other available software.
By means of the above, we took a step closer to
most users; however, some still find an investment in
CAD/CAM technology too expensive with regard to
their needs. This mostly applies to small laboratories. Therefore, we came up with the
idea to offer such users milling services.
As a result, the Interdent Milling Centre was established this year,
in which CAD/CAM experts see to
it that orders are received and
restorations are made to order and
delivered in a few working days.
This way, laboratories can offer an

CC POWER unit.

Fig. 4_Adapter for milling minor
blocks.

Identica Blue convinced us with its reliability, precision (less than 10 µm), scanning speed (e.g. antagonists can be scanned in only 35 seconds), cuttingedge blue light scanning technology, wide area (allowing the scanning of models in an articulator), and,
naturally, ability to export files in an open STL format,
which provides freedom in CAD/CAM technology.
The logical next step was to upgrade the Identica
Blue scanner with the verified, compatible Exocad

I industry news _ Straumann

Multiple new solutions presented at
IDS 2015 bring Straumann closer to
being a total solution provider of choice
_At Europe’s leading dental trade fair, the International Dental Show (IDS) in Cologne in Germany, Straumann presented a number of new products and solutions that—together with new partnerships—bring the
group closer to its goal of becoming a complete solution
provider and, thus, the partner of choice in tooth replacement for both dentists and dental laboratories.

_Further advances in implants
Since the 2013 IDS, Straumann has launched its fully
ceramic implant (Straumann PURE) and has successfully upgraded the majority of its surgical customers to
the unique high performance implant material Roxolid,
which has been extended throughout the Straumann
implant range. Owing to its excellent biocompatibility
and strength (greater than pure titanium), Roxolid
makes it possible to use smaller implants, which in turn
can avoid the need for bone augmentation, reducing
treatment invasiveness.
New-generation Bone Level Tapered Implant
Roxolid is a key feature of Straumann’s new Bone
Level Tapered Implant, which offers high surgical flexibility and primary stability. With the controlled market
release having been completed, the new implant is now
available in various endosteal diameters (3.3, 4.1 and
4.8mm) and lengths (8–16mm), and offers a broad range
of prosthetic options. Its design offers high primary stability for immediate or early loading and, with Straumann’s SLActive surface to enhance osseointegration,
implant healing time is significantly reduced—making
this a new-generation bone level tapered implant.

_A complete family of restorative solutions
Straumann is placing significant emphasis on enhanced products, technologies and workflows for dental laboratories—from simple Variobase Abutments and
milling blanks with original Straumann connections to
new high-tech ceramics, state-of-the-art in-laboratory
milling machines, scanners, advanced CAD/CAM functionality and centralized milling services. Together with
the partners in its technology platform, the group is able
to offer total solutions to dental laboratories around
the world. More information on these and other new

44 I CAD/CAM

launches was shared at a dedicated Lunch and Learn
session for dental laboratory professionals during IDS.
Straumann Pro Arch, a comprehensive combination
The Bone Level Tapered Implant is an important
component in Straumann’s Pro Arch solution, which
was first exhibited at this year’s IDS. Pro Arch is a comprehensive combination of implants, abutments, CAD/
CAM frameworks, auxiliary components and educational support that enable clinicians and dental laboratories to provide accelerated fixed full-arch rehabilitation. This approach reduces the number of treatment
sessions and thus minimizes disruption to patients’
daily lives. Most importantly, it offers fixed full-arch replacements rather than removable dentures, which
many patients view as artificial and inconvenient.
The Pro Arch solution includes a selection of sleek
new abutments and auxiliary components that offer
a wide range of prosthetic options for screw-retained
restorations. The low abutment profile, varied angulations (17 and 30 degrees) and gingival heights give
dentists exceptional flexibility to provide individual
solutions, including tilted posterior implants.
CARES Basic and Advanced Fixed Bars
CARES Visual 9.0, the latest software for Straumann’s
CAD/CAM system, adds the functionality for custommilled bar options and designs to support the final
restoration. This means that clinicians can now provide
custom-milled frameworks—both at implant and abutment levels. In addition to titanium and coron (the company’s cobalt–chromium alloy) options, Straumann will
be introducing zirconium dioxide frameworks this year.
Straumann Variobase becomes a family
At the 2013 IDS, Straumann introduced the CARES
Variobase Abutment, the basis for a cost-effective hybrid solution consisting of a titanium bonding base and
a zirconium dioxide coping. This was to complement its
existing range of customized abutments and to offer
laboratories the combined benefit of a metal–metal implant–abutment interface with an original Straumann
connection and a variety of aesthetic shades. The pop-


[45] => CDE0109_01_Titel
industry news _ Straumann

ularity of this solution has prompted several developments, which made their debut at this year’s IDS.
_New heights
For additional flexibility, for example to support
larger crowns, the Variobase Abutment now comes
with an increased (5.5mm) chimney height, which
can be customized and is available for all Straumann
implant platforms.
_Variobase for bridges and bars
Straumann has also developed a new Variobase
Abutment for screw- and cement-retained bridge and
bar restorations, offering highly flexible and costeffective solutions for multiple-tooth restorations.
Its conical design features special helix threads and
a minimum plateau for long-term stability and passive
fit of the bridge or bar.
_Variobase for CEREC
Dentists using Sirona Dental Systems’ CEREC chairside workflow to produce implant-retained restorations now have the option of a Straumann Variobase
Abutment with an original connection and a concave
collar design for an optimized emergence profile. This
Variobase Abutment is compatible with available material blocks and two-piece scan bodies.
1

CARES X-Stream for bridges and bars
CARES X-Stream was launched at the 2013 IDS and
streamlines the prosthetic workflow so that all the components are manufactured from only one scan and one
design procedure. The digital functionality has been developed further and now includes the processing steps
for bridges and bars on the new Variobase Abutment.
Lava Plus High Translucency Zirconia for CARES
Straumann also announced the availability of
CARES restorations in 3M ESPE’s Lava Plus High
Translucency Zirconia, a material engineered for excellent translucency with uncompromising strength. It is
the only CAD/CAM material system that matches the 16
VITA classical A1–D4 shades and two bleached shades.
Pre-milled abutment blanks
To help dental laboratories build their business and
maintain implant–abutment precision and reliability,
Straumann is now offering titanium blanks with pre-fabricated implant connections. The blanks are compatible
with a wide range of milling machines (e.g. Medentika;
imes-icore; D5, DATRON; GAMMA 202, Wissner; RXD,
Röders; DC5, Dental Concept Systems; COBRA Mill, MB
Maschinen; and vhf camfacture)2 and enable laboratories to fabricate one-piece customized titanium abutments with original Straumann connections in-house.

I

_Technology platform strengthened
Straumann heralded the arrival of the CARES M
Series in-laboratory milling machine developed by
Amann Girrbach to operate with the CARES CAD/CAM
system. The new machine will be offered by Straumann
together with the latest CARES 3Series and 7Series
in-laboratory CAD/CAM scanners, which have been codeveloped with Dental Wings and were also launched
in Cologne. At Straumann’s press conference, Dental
Wings presented the scanners together with its new
intra-oral scanner and revolutionary laser ablation inlaboratory milling machine.
Furthermore, Straumann announced its investment
in Valoc, a developer and manufacturer of innovative
overdenture attachment systems.
N!ce developed by Straumann, manufactured by etkon,
distributed through Instradent
Straumann has developed an exciting new glassceramic material (lithium disilicate-reinforced lithium
aluminosilicate) for high-end restorations, including
crowns, inlays, onlays and veneers. Under the brand
name etkon n!ce, the new material will be manufactured by etkon and supplied in ready-to-mill blocks in
the common C14 format. Its key advantages include
high flexural strength, short milling times and easy
finishing.
It is available in two stages of crystallization. The
partially crystallized version is easy to mill and can be
stained and glazed, making it attractive to laboratories.
The fully crystallized form requires no firing and can be
milled, finished and seated directly, making it the ideal
chairside solution. Straumann plans to release n!ce
through its Instradent platform in May in Europe, with
other regions and distribution channels to follow.

_Value-adding support
Straumann Patient Pro, a new tool for comprehensive
information
Research suggests that every other patient consults the Internet before, after and sometimes even
during the consultation.3 A patient’s choice of treatment and/or dental professional is based on the information found. Straumann Patient Pro is a new
comprehensive platform that provides dental professionals with digital information to educate patients
and to promote their practices. It supports them with
materials and tools for the Internet and social media,
as well as for use in their dental practices.

The crown that rules them all:
NobelProcera FCZ Implant Crown
Patients, clinicians and dental laboratories all want
restorations they can rely on
Author_ Michael Stuart, Nobel Biocare, Switzerland

Fig. 1_Combining strength
with restorative flexibility,
the NobelProcera FCZ Implant
Crown is the ideal solution
for the posterior region.

Fig. 1

_The NobelProcera FCZ (full-contour zirconia)
Implant Crown combines full-contour strength that
is sufficiently robust for the posterior region with superb restorative
flexibility—and all with no cement
in sight.

The NobelProcera FCZ Implant Crown is designed
for use with Nobel Biocare’s extensive range of conical
connection implants. Combining Nobel Biocare components means that all the elements can be trusted to
work together seamlessly for the perfect treatment
outcome.

CAD/CAM manufactured using high-strength
translucent zirconia—in which angulated screw channels can be created—the NobelProcera FCZ Implant
Crown is designed for predictable strength, aesthetics and function.

_Not veneered, but engineered

_No cement, no chipping, no problems
The strength of the FCZ Implant Crown makes it
suitable for all tooth positions, ensuring predictability even under the high occlusal forces of the posterior region, which makes it an ideal restoration for
molars. There is no need to worry about veneer chipping either, as the full-contour characteristics of the
NobelProcera FCZ Implant Crown eliminate the need
for veneering.

Implant Crown can incorporate an
angulated screw channel. This offers
easy access to the restoration and
can maintain the occlusal function.

The biocompatibility of the materials
used represents an additional benefit by supporting biological stability in the areas
where it matters most. Plus, being screw
retained, the FCZ Implant Crown is completely cement free, eliminating the risks
associated with excess cement. Even
the titanium adapter is mechanically
retained.
As it can be placed in the posterior region, the FCZ Implant Crown gives clinicians
the opportunity to increase the number of
screw-retained restorations they place. This
means more patients treated with a restorative solution that is easier to maintain and
retrieve—and all without cement.

With the angulated screw channel option, the
screw access hole can be placed anywhere between
0 degrees and 25 degrees within a 360-degree radius.
This means that it can be angled towards the front
of the mouth for easy access even in tight posterior
spaces; it also means that the access channel does not
need to be placed on the cusp of the tooth, where it
might affect occlusion.
Working on the restoration is further simplified
with the associated Omnigrip Screwdriver. Its effective pick-up function and secure grip on the screw
help the clinician to work safely and efficiently.
Natural-looking tooth colour is another
benefit offered by the FCZ Implant Crown.
Whichever of the eight available shades
is used, the colour will be uniform
throughout the material. This means adjustments can be made without having
to worry about discoloration. Furthermore, cut-backs or staining can be used
to achieve the desired aesthetic effect.
For patients, clinicians and dental laboratories looking for restorations can rely
on, the NobelProcera FCZ Implant Crown
provides extraordinary strength for longterm predictability and delivers restorative flexibility too. As a result, it is well on
its way to becoming the crown that rules
them all!_

How a modern implant
system is developed
Source_Dentsply Implants

_A dental implant system
consists of hundreds of components. It includes everything from
the highly advanced implant to
simple tweezers. For an optimal function of a system, all parts must interplay.
They must fit together like cogwheels and
create a smooth and well-functioning totality.
If just one cog is misaligned, the entire system will
suffer. And this may cause unnecessary problems
for the dental team and ultimately the patient.

_Mission started

Per Aringskog and
Agneta Broberg Jansson.

Per Aringskog, R&D Director at DENTSPLY Implants, and his team were well aware of this. To
start their development work, they had one of the
most thoroughly documented dental implant systems in the business. Decades of research in areas
as diverse as mechanical loading and osseous integration had created a product that functioned perfectly, with minimal bone loss and healthy soft tissue.
With this as a foundation, the mission now was to cre-

ate an implant system that was
in every detail intuitive for the
users. The set target was that the
new ASTRA TECH Implant System EV
should be the user-friendliest system
on the market. Early on, the team realised
that no matter how much they thought and
tested on their own, there would always be a gap
between what worked well on paper and in the
laboratory compared to what worked in the
everyday clinical reality. In the real world, one
had to add unpredictable situations, users with
different knowledge levels and the various
needs of patients.

_A smart solution
The solution was obvious—let the users take
part in the development work. That way you get a
product that already at launch is tested and
adapted to tackle the unpredictable. A product that
has its origin where it will be used—the clinics.
The solution is not unique, but it is smart and it
works. The method of letting users take part in the development work exists in other businesses. In the
software world they have worked with open source
code for a long time. Some software developers even
publish their software on the Internet. Users and
other interested parties can then suggest improvements and further developments. In earlier development projects at the company, there have been
smaller focus groups involved. This time however, the
team took the idea to a whole new level—a group of
47 clinicians that work with dental implants on an
everyday basis was formed. They became known as
ambassadors.
“The response to our initial contacts was very
positive. Everyone we asked was enthusiastic about
taking part,” says Agneta Broberg Jansson, responsible
at Global Product Management for the ASTRA TECH
Implant System at DENTSPLY Implants.

A smaller group whose members had long professional experience with dental implants, was contacted first. The R&D and Product Management team
had by then developed a system. Now, it was time for
their efforts in the laboratory to face reality. The group
was asked to evaluate the core system and contribute
to the further development and refinement of the
system.
“The input given at this stage contributed to
changes in parts of the system. Some designs were improved in ways we could never have imagined if we had
not been open about our work,” says Per Aringskog.
Even if openness and participation turned out to
be the key to success, the contents of the project had
to be kept secret. The company operates in a highly
competitive market where many smaller players are
very interested in using smart solutions, preferably
without having to invest in the development work.
Secrecy was of the utmost importance for this and
similar future projects if they were to bear the expenses. Investing in research and development and
constantly challenging and improving is part of the
company philosophy.

confide in three and the whole world knows” was refuted once and for all.
”It is amazing that we managed to keep the contents of the project secret. But, the participants were
so dedicated that they saw this as their own project.
We became one big project team with a great internal
loyalty,” says Per Aringskog.
By now, the work intensified. Six employees visited
the ambassadors in their everyday business and held
concept handling sessions. The ambassadors also
gathered a few times to exchange experiences and
thoughts in the early project phase, and the feedback
kept coming in.
As the project progressed, Per Aringskog and his
colleagues adjusted the system and new tests took
place. After five years of work, only fine-tuning of details remained and eventually everything was ready to
be launched.
“Each individual point of view might seem tiny, but
put together everyone has contributed to the final result,” says Agneta Broberg Jansson, one of those who
worked closest to the ambassadors._

_One big project
Following the initial phase, the more basic parts
started to fall into place. Now it was time to expand
the group of ambassadors and to gather broader and
more detailed feedback. But, allowing the group to
grow was risky seen from a secrecy perspective. From
the initial single-digit group of clinicians, the group
now grew to almost 50 ambassadors on three continents. But, the saying “Confide in one, never in two;

and using our own in-house scanning electron microscope. Because the analysis is done in our own labs,
on-site, there’s no holding up production for repairs.”
“MIS adheres to strict procedures, adding any steps
necessary to ensure the lowest percentage of contaminants, including blasting residue or remnants from
various stages of production,” Reiner added. “Because
the scanning electron microscope analysis is done on
samples only, a trained technician also does a 100 per
cent visual inspection on each and every implant. Any
flawed implants are unconditionally rejected.”
The intermediate report, titled “Surface analysis
of sterile-packaged implants”, was published in the
01/2015 issue of the European Journal for Dental
Implantologists.

_Israeli manufacturer MIS Implants Technologies has announced that its products have achieved
favourable results in an extensive qualitative and
quantitative elemental analysis using scanning electron microscopy. The study was conducted on behalf
of the Quality and Research Committee of the European Association of Dental Implantologists. It included 65 systems of sterile-packaged implants from
37 manufacturers and ten countries.
According to the intermediate study report, the
C1 implant and the SEVEN implant manufactured
by MIS achieved noteworthy results. Although the
SEVEN implant exhibited blasting material on up to
7 per cent of the surface in earlier studies by the committee in 2011 and 2012, the researchers did not find
even isolated spots with residue on the two MIS implant types of Grade 23 titanium in the current study.
MIS Materials Discipline Manager Dr Tal Reiner
explained the surface treatment processes applied
by MIS that led to the results: “We monitor the surface

This is the second time within the past 12 months
that a study has verified MIS’s implant quality
claims. The first study, titled “Identification card and
codification of the chemical and morphological
characteristics of 62 dental implant surfaces. Part 3:
Sand-blasted/acid-etched (SLA type) and related
surfaces (Group 2A, main subtractive process”, was
published in the June 2014 issue of the POSEIDO
journal. According to the study, which included 18
different implants, MIS’s SEVEN implant was among
the three implants that showed no pollution and no
chemical modification of the surface._

Biggest IDS of all time
in Cologne
Growth in the number of visitors, exhibitors and exhibition space
Author_Koelnmesse

_After achieving a record result, the 36th International Dental Show (IDS) that was characterised
by an excellent atmosphere closed its doors in
Cologne after five days. Around 138,500 trade visitors from 151 countries attended the world's leading
trade fair of the dental industry, which corresponded
to an increase of almost eleven per cent compared to
the previous event. IDS also achieved new records in
terms of the number of exhibitors and the exhibition
space sold.
2,201 companies (+6.9 per cent) from 56 countries presented a wealth of innovations, product developments and services on exhibition space covering 157,000 square meters (+6.2 per cent). With an
over 70 per cent share of foreign exhibitors (2013:

68 per cent) and a 17 per cent increase in the number of trade visitors from abroad the level of internationality of the event was once again significantly
increased. At the same time, the number of trade
visitors from Germany also increased markedly in
comparison to 2013 (+4.3 per cent).
"We succeeded in making the International Dental Show in Cologne even more attractive, on both a
national and international basis. It is thus the most
successful IDS of all time," summed up Dr Martin
Rickert, Chairman of the Association of German
Dental Manufacturers (VDDI). "The quality of the
business contacts between the industry and the trade
as well as between the industry, dentists and dental technicians was extremely high.
The number of orders placed
at IDS rose once again and we
are reckoning with sustainable impulses for the post-fair
follow-up business," added
Katharina C. Hamma, Chief
Operating Officer of Koelnmesse GmbH.
Furthermore she said: "In
addition to the growth in the
number of German trade visitors, the high international
response once again underlines the character of IDS as
the world's leading trade fair of the dental industry.
The International Dental Show particularly recorded
strong growth in the number of visitors from the
Near and Middle East, the United States and Canada,
Brazil as well as from China, Japan and Korea. The
business in the South East European market, especially Italy and Spain, has also increased noticeably."

_Strong interest in innovations
The trade and the users were extremely interested
in innovative products and technologies. "In this
respect, staged every two years, IDS fits in perfectly
with the innovation cycles of the industry regarding
the development and further development of products, materials and services," emphasised Dr Markus
Heibach, Executive Director of VDDI. "This applies for
both breakthrough innovations and further developments of existing products, but also for development progress in smaller phases that are however
significant in terms of quality."
IDS 2015 focused on the intelligent networking
of components for computer-controlled dentistry.
Today, the world of digital systems in diagnostics
and production encompasses the entire workflow

from the practise through to the
laboratory. The computer-controlled process chains are in the
meantime complete and are putting their enormous flexibility to
use.

_Fantastic outcome
of the trade fair and
excellent mood
The hustle and bustle in the
halls made the high attendance at
IDS very apparent. By all accounts, representatives
from all relevant professional groups—from dentists'
surgeries, dental laboratories, from the dental trade,
but also from the higher education sector—from all
over the world had visited the exhibition stands. The
exhibitors were especially pleased about the high
level of internationality of the trade visitors. In terms
of business, IDS was very successful for many companies, because orders were placed—by both national and international customers.
Numerous companies were pleased to announce full order books. Aspects such as grooming
contacts, customer bonding, winning over new customers or penetrating new foreign markets were
at least equally important for the exhibitors. These
goals were also achieved to complete satisfaction at
the 36th International Dental Show. The exhibitors
evaluated the quality of the visitors very positively.
This finding is confirmed by the initial results of an
independent visitor survey: 83 per cent of all of the
visitors are involved in purchasing decisions at their
company.
"The world meets up at IDS in Cologne," summed
up Sebastian Voss, managing partner of Hager &

especially well represented, but we also registered
an increase in the number of customers from
Southern Europe." As well as the high frequency of
visitors at his stand, Axel Klarmeyer, Executive Director of BEGO, also reported, "that the customers
were well informed and that they showed great interest in new technologies."

Meisinger GmbH. "More international customer
contacts visited our stand this year than in 2013.
Visitors from Latin America were particularly well
represented, but also from Asia. "We were able to establish countless new contacts at IDS and also met
up with our existing customers." Martin Dürrstein,
Chairman of Dürr Dental AG, was also extremely
satisfied: "The trade fair went very well for us, it was
fantastic. We received a high number of particularly
qualified trade visitors. We are totally satisfied with
the fair, because we were able to welcome many new
customers from Asia, Arabia, Latin America and
South Africa."
Christian Scheu, Executive Director of ScheuDental GmbH also praised the further increased internationality of IDS: "In comparison to 2013, we
were able to further increase the number of visitors
at our stand, in particular visitors from abroad. The
Asiatic region, for instance China and Korea, were

Walter Petersohn, Vice President Sales of Sirona
Dental Systems, was also pleased "about the vast
numbers of international visitors, the buying interest and as always about the large number of attending German dentists and dental technicians."
Michael Tuber, Executive Director of A. Titan also
awarded IDS 2015 top marks. "This is the seventh
time we have exhibited at IDS and we have optimally
achieved the goal we set ourselves, namely further
expanding our international sales network. The
trade fair offers us the perfect platform for meeting
up with our existing customers from all over the
world, but at the same time, we were able to establish many new customer contacts. This is why the
International Dental Show is an absolute must for
every American manufacturer from the dental industry."
IDS 2015 was also a success for Andrew Parker,
CEO of Mydent International: "We met up with our
international customers here in Cologne and were
additionally able to make over 100 interesting new
contacts to dental dealers. No other event in the
world has such international appeal."

_Satisfied visitors all round
The visitor survey revealed that over 75 per cent
of the respondents were (very) satisfied with IDS.
The fair's comprehensive spectrum of products and
new products ensured that 81 per cent of visitors
rated the product range as being (very) good. 74 per
cent of the exhibitors were (very) satisfied in terms
of reaching the goals they had set themselves for the
fair. Overall, 95 per cent of the visitors questioned
would recommend visiting IDS to business partners
and 77 per cent also intend to visit IDS 2017.
The International Dental Show (IDS) takes place
in Cologne every two years and is organised by the
GFDI Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Dental-Industrie mbH, the commercial enterprise of the Association of German Dental Manufacturers (VDDI) and is
staged by Koelnmesse GmbH, Cologne.
The next IDS—the 37th International Dental Show
—is scheduled to take place from 21 to 25 March
2017._

about the publisher _ submission guidelines

submission guidelines:
Please note that all the textual components of your submission
must be combined into one MS Word document. Please do not
submit multiple files for each of these items:
_the complete article;
_all the image (tables, charts, photographs, etc.) captions;
_the complete list of sources consulted; and
_the author or contact information (biographical sketch, mailing
address, e-mail address, etc.).

I

Image requirements
Please number images consecutively throughout the article
by using a new number for each image. If it is imperative that
certain images are grouped together, then use lowercase letters
to designate these in a group (for example, 2a, 2b, 2c).
Please place image references in your article wherever they
are appropriate, whether in the middle or at the end of a sentence.
If you do not directly refer to the image, place the reference
at the end of the sentence to which it relates enclosed within
brackets and before the period.
In addition, please note:

In addition, images must not be embedded into the MS Word
document. All images must be submitted separately, and details
about such submission follow below under image requirements.
Text length
Article lengths can vary greatly—from 1,500 to 5,500 words—
depending on the subject matter. Our approach is that if you
need more or less words to do the topic justice, then please make
the article as long or as short as necessary.
We can run an unusually long article in multiple parts, but this
usually entails a topic for which each part can stand alone because it contains so much information.
In short, we do not want to limit you in terms of article length,
so please use the word count above as a general guideline and if
you have specific questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Text formatting
We also ask that you forego any special formatting beyond the
use of italics and boldface. If you would like to emphasise certain
words within the text, please only use italics (do not use underlining or a larger font size). Boldface is reserved for article headers.
Please do not use underlining.
Please use single spacing and make sure that the text is left justified. Please do not centre text on the page. Do not indent paragraphs, rather place a blank line between paragraphs. Please do
not add tab stops.

_We require images in TIF or JPEG format.
_These images must be no smaller than 6 x 6 cm in size at 300 DPI.
_These image files must be no smaller than 80 KB in size (or they
will print the size of a postage stamp!).
Larger image files are always better, and those approximately
the size of 1 MB are best. Thus, do not size large image files down
to meet our requirements but send us the largest files available.
(The larger the starting image is in terms of bytes, the more leeway the designer has for resizing the image in order to fill up more
space should there be room available.)
Also, please remember that images must not be embedded into
the body of the article submitted. Images must be submitted
separately to the textual submission.
You may submit images via e-mail, via our FTP server or post
a CD containing your images directly to us (please contact us
for the mailing address, as this will depend upon the country from
which you will be mailing).
Please also send us a head shot of yourself that is in accordance
with the requirements stated above so that it can be printed with
your article.
Abstracts
An abstract of your article is not required.

Should you require a special layout, please let the word processing
programme you are using help you do this formatting automatically. Similarly, should you need to make a list, or add footnotes
or endnotes, please let the word processing programme do it for
you automatically. There are menus in every programme that will
enable you to do so. The fact is that no matter how carefully done,
errors can creep in when you try to number footnotes yourself.

Author or contact information
The author’s contact information and a head shot of the author
are included at the end of every article. Please note the exact
information you would like to appear in this section and format it according to the requirements stated above. A short
biographical sketch may precede the contact information
if you provide us with the necessary information (60 words
or less).

Any formatting contrary to stated above will require us to remove
such formatting before layout, which is very time-consuming.
Please consider this when formatting your document.
