Sirona Dental Systems announced the availability of the inLab multilayer design software, which utilizes new Vita Rapid Layer Technology, during the Cerec 25th anniversary celebration in Las Vegas this week.
Vita Rapid Layer Technology is a high-speed bridge production technique that utilizes Sirona inLab V3.80 software, along with the Sirona inLab MC XL milling unit, to mill both the framework and corresponding full-contour overlay with a few mouse clicks, according to the company.
The fully computerized process yields efficient production of the substructure and overlay structure at once, producing fully anatomical bridges and crowns without the need for traditional waxing, porcelain layering, or pressing, Sirona said.
Using Sirona inLab V3.80 software, the Vita process starts with the generation of the anatomical multiunit bridge or crown on screen. The software automatically calculates the data for both the substructure and fully contoured overlay within a few seconds.
The framework is then milled from a Vita In-Ceram YZ block, and the full-contour overlay is milled from Vitablocs TriLuxe forte polychromatic ceramic, perfectly matching the Vita YZ substructure with an adhesive luting composite, creating a long-lasting bond between the substructure and veneering ceramic for an aesthetic bridge restoration with long-term durability, the company said.
