Lab Tribune | January 2011
SensAble expands
European dental
partner network with
SILADENT, Innodema
New partnerships
provide additional
distribution, fabrication
choices for labs
SensAble Technologies, a leading
provider of dental restoration design
and fabrication solutions, 3-D modeling software and haptic devices,
announced recently that it has further
expanded its network of European
partners in service to the growing
dental lab business in Europe.
The company has announced partnerships with SILADENT Dr. Böhme
& Schöps GmbH, Goslar, Germany,
and Innodema, an alliance of dental lab fabrication experts based
in Belgium, both of which become
SensAble authorized production centers (SAPCs). Following September’s
appointment of other German production and milling partners, the new
partnership appointments further
expand SensAble’s dental lab market presence in Europe, where the
company markets its award-winning
SensAble™ Dental Lab System and the
new modular configurations designed
for the European market.
As a SensAble authorized production center, SILADENT can guarantee the fit of restorations made using
authorized design configurations of
the SensAble Dental Lab System and
maintain quality and turnaround standards in accordance with SensAble’s
SAPC program.
Also an SAPC, Innodema will be
offering direct metal fabrication of
parts designed on the SensAble Dental
Lab System in partnership with different SensAble customers located in
Belgium, the Netherlands and other
European countries. Direct metal fabrication is an innovative approach that
is economical and ecologically friendly and designed to meet labs’ highest
quality standards.
SensAble showcased its dental lab
solutions, along with numerous partner offerings by SILADENT, Innodema and others — including dental
lab system reseller Antonius Koester,
GmbH & Co. of Meschede, Germany, and R+K CAD/CAM Technologie
of Berlin, another SAPC — at the
EuroMold conference in Frankfurt in
December.
“As a customer of SensAble, I’ve
been amazed at the quality that is
possible using the SensAble Dental
Lab System, and so we are delighted to offer outsourced fabrication of
SensAble-designed restorations to
other labs,” said Marc Vosters, director of Innodema. “We know we can
add tremendous value to those dental
labs looking to move from wax to digital design. We can help them to lower
the production costs of dental frames,
crowns and bridges and other innovative dental applications, and this in an
ecological-friendly way.”
“SILADENT is excited to be a
SensAble authorized production
center for Germany,” said Markus
Rehse, CEO of SILADENT. “SILADENT Dr. Böhme & Schöps is one of
the largest European manufacturers
of dental gypsum, duplicating materials and investments, and a specialist
in the casting technique. Expanding
our business into digital design is a
natural progression for us. Being at
Euromold within SensAble’s booth is
the first of many activities that will
bring our joint customers the best of
SILADENT and SensAble.”
With the worldwide dental lab market projected to grow to $14.5 billion
by 20151, labs are rapidly adopting
digital solutions that provide more
precise and accurately-fitting restorations in less time — a savings for
labs, dentists and patients. SensAble’s
expanding network of dental lab partners helps assure labs of ready access
to the fabrication services they need
for efficiently produced, precisely fitting work for their dentists.
“We are committed to growing our
customer base among dental labs in
Europe and to providing them with
innovative products and the wide
choice of fabrication services they
need,” said Bob Steingart, president of
SensAble Dental. “Today’s dental labs
want the flexibility of open systems
while maintaining consistent quality
and fit, and SensAble and its partners
are meeting that need.”
About the SensAble Dental Lab
System
SensAble Technologies is the only
provider to offer a lab-proven digital solution for the production of
both partials and crown-and-bridge
restorations. The company provides
turnkey systems, including components from scanning to fabrication, as well as new modular solutions that were designed for the
needs of the European dental lab
market. Using the SensAble Dental
Lab System’s standard file formats,
SensAble’s modular systems allow
labs to take advantage of existing
scanners and fabrication technologies they may already own, or send
out their designs to their choice of
fabrication partners. LT

KOMET USA’s sintered
diamond lab instruments:
‘efficient and effective’
KOMET USA offers unique
diamond laboratory instruments
designed for efficient grinding of
ceramics and chrome cobalt materials to be used in crown-andbridge and model-casting techniques.
KOMET’s diamonds with a sintered bond (DSB) are laboratory
“grinders” interspersed either with
a medium (107 µm), coarse (151
µm) or super coarse (181 µm) diamond grit. DSB instruments are
designed with high-quality diamonds and provide users with long
service lives and good dimensional
stability, generating very little dust
during operation.
The following DSB instruments
are currently available:
• 7801/76801: medium and coarse
round instruments
• 7805/76805: medium and coarse
inverted cone instruments
• 7928: medium hollow inverted
cone instrument
• 7825/76825: medium and coarse
knife-edge instruments
• 76881: coarse cylinder round
instrument
• 76859: coarse needle instrument
• 7848: medium flat-end tapered
instrument
• 7856/76856: medium and coarse
round-end tapered
• 7862: medium flame instrument
• 7852/76852: medium and coarse
needle instruments
• 7351/76351/75351: medium,
coarse and super coarse round-end
tapered instruments
• 76251/75251: coarse and super
coarse flame instruments
KOMET USA recommends that
all DSBs be cleaned and sharpened by using a KOMET cleaning
stone (9750), thus preventing black
marks on ceramics and extending its
already long service life.
KOMET’s U.S. headquarters is
located in Rock Hill, S.C. For more
information about KOMET USA or
the DSB Instruments, call (888) 5663887 or visit www.komet-usa.com.
