New Technology Simplifies Restorative Process

Palm Beach Gardens, FL - (August 7, 2008) - BIOMET 3i now offers a new solution to meet aesthetic demands, increase productivity and maximize chair time. The Encode® Complete Restorative System utilizes Robocast Technology to eliminate implant-level impressions and the need to inventory components. The process delivers a patient specific abutment and a master cast ready for the final restoration fabrication.

The clinician simply makes a supragingival impression of the Encode Healing Abutment, which was previously placed by the surgeon. Codes embedded on the occlusal surface of the Encode Healing Abutment communicate the implant depth, hex-orientation, platform diameter and interface (Certain® Internal Connection or External Connection). This information allows BIOMET 3i ARCHITECH PSR® Dental Technicians to create an anatomic patient specific abutment with appropriate margin height and natural emergence contours while a robot places the implant body analogs to create a master cast.

Because there is no need to remove a healing abutment and seat an impression coping for an implant level impression, soft tissue is spared from the unnecessary trauma of traditional techniques. As a result, soft tissue levels may be preserved and bone remodeling is potentially minimized. The Encode Complete System process results in an anatomically designed final abutment created to specifications with consideration of the surrounding gingival architecture and dental structures.

Encode Abutments are available in Titanium and with a Gold-colored Titanium Nitride Coating.
