Glidewell Laboratories has expanded the compatibility of its Inclusive Tooth Replacement Solution to accommodate a number of popular implant systems from Astra Tech, Biomet 3i, Nobel Biocare, Straumann, and Zimmer.
Clinicians who want to use the restorative-driven, all-in-one treatment package but prefer to place their existing implant system can now prescribe the Open Platform Inclusive Tooth Replacement Solution, according to the company. The expanded solution includes the same components as the original Inclusive Tooth Replacement Solution with the exception of the surgical drills required for placing the implant of choice (supplied by the prescribing doctor).
Glidewell Laboratories will provide the prosthetic guide, custom temporary components, custom impression coping, and final CAD/CAM restoration, all of which are designed around the clinician's chosen implant platform. Additionally, an Inclusive Tapered Implant (with corresponding final surgical drill) is included, as a replacement for the clinician's implant if needed, the company noted.
