Introducing The Encode® Zirconia Abutment - Aesthetics & Strength

Palm Beach Gardens, FL - (February 24, 2009) - Clinicians can now provide beautiful, all-ceramic restorations with BIOMET 3i's new Encode Zirconia Abutment. Offering the translucency desired for the aesthetically demanding anterior region of the mouth, the Encode Zirconia Abutment can be used for single and multi-unit, cement-retained, all-ceramic restorations.

Instead of an implant level impression, clinicians make a direct impression of the Encode Healing Abutment. Codes embedded on the occlusal surface of the healing abutment communicate the implant depth, hex orientation, platform diameter and interface.

An impression of the Encode Healing Abutment and the opposing arch, along with a bite registration and the shade selection, are the only information the laboratory needs to deliver a patient specific final restoration.

The laboratory prepares the case and ships it to BIOMET 3i's ARCHITECH PSR® Department, where dental techinicians design and mill the final Encode Zirconia Abutment to the desired specifications. Simultaneously, design data is sent to the Robocast Center for robotic analog placement and creation of the gingival emergence in the original Encode Cast. The abutment margin, contour, taper and emergence profile are custom crafted with consideration to the surrounding gingival architecture and dental structures. The result is a custom milled anatomically designed final Encode Zirconia Abutment.

After receiving the case from BIOMET 3i, the laboratory places the abutment onto the Robocast, fabricates the restoration using the all ceramic system of choice and returns the case to the clinician for delivery.

The Encode Zirconia Abutment offers angle correction up to 30° and is available in MicroMiniplant™, 4.1 and 5mm Certain® Implant restorative platforms.
