Superior occlusal fit and function

Creating a crown or a bridge without the guidance of dynamic articulation and articulating paper would be improbable to most dental technicians. 3Shape’s Dental System™ 2010 recognizes the relentless pursuit of the optimal occlusal fit, and now brings labs a highly sophisticated dynamic virtual articulation minimizing the need for manual finishing of fully digital restorations.

By enabling virtual application of classical jaw movements such as Protrusion, Retrusion, Laterotrusion, Mediotrusion and Immediate Side Shift, users are able to digitally conduct a complete dynamic articulation of the clinical case. Virtual jaw movement can be adjusted and restricted according to user-defined values.

Real-time visualization of virtual articulating paper provides continuous input for digitally correcting the restorative design giving unmatched quality to full anatomy restoration. With the superior occlusal fit provided by virtual articulation, dental technicians can significantly reduce, or often avoid, the time previously needed to finish and correct a manufactured crown manually - bringing full digital restorations to previously unseen levels. Patent pending.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Freehand or pre-defined motion paths - simulating natural jaw movement at all design stage
• Unmatched restorative functionality - by recorded contact and collision in full anatomy desig
• Reduced need for finishing - through fully articulated design results in optimal occlusal fit
