SensAble Technologies and VITA announced that SensAble has integrated two of VITA’s digital tooth libraries into the SensAble Dental Lab System (SDLS).
SensAble’s system is an integrated CAD/CAM system to scan, design, and fabricate a variety of dental restorations, including full-contour crowns and bridges and metal and flexible partials. These two digital libraries were created specifically for inclusion in SensAble’s system by precisely scanning VITA’s hand-crafted denture teeth, the companies said in a press release.
Dental lab technicians use the 3D models of the teeth as a starting-point for digitally designing the restoration for a patient. By offering VITA’s tooth libraries in digital form within SensAble’s system, the two companies expand dental labs’ choice and flexibility to deliver the most functional and esthetically pleasing restorations to their dentists, according to the release.
Using the SensAble Dental Lab System, lab technicians can select a virtual tooth from the library, and then adjust the size, morphology, and placement as needed. They can use the tooth libraries to design porcelain or full metal crowns and bridges. Additionally, the VITA digital tooth libraries help speed the design of combination cases where the teeth on a removable partial need to match the patient’s fixed restorations, the release concluded.
