manufacturer news chairside milling machine Straumann CARES C-Series: Effi ciency and precision from the start Looking for accurate and rapid milling? Strau- mann CARES C-Series is the new dental practice chairside milling machine for wet and grinding processing—an extremely robust and compact 4-axis wet milling and grinding system for in- house processing, especially designed to provide reliable and predictable precision when milling glass ceramic and hybrid materials for a wide va- riety of indications. A cost-effective solution that is ideal for CAD/CAM beginners With its competitive price, the C-Series rep- resents a cost-effective, efi cient, and easy-to- use solution that is ideal for CAD/CAM beginners. It is an open-source system for all indications, modular, fl exible and versatile. What is in it for the patient? Shorter and fewer visits, safer proce- dures, and improved clinical outcomes. State of the art technology and design The C-Series comes equipped with an intelligent 4-axis technology, improving the daily practice routine in terms of efi ciency and productivity. Hy- brid materials are processed with maximum pre- cision, while its intelligent design guarantees sta- bility and torsion resistance. The case design optimally protects against dust, chips and liquids. The Straumann CARES Chairside System The Straumann CARES Chairside System offers dentists a fully integrated and validated digital workfl ow in three simple steps: 1. Scan with the patient-friendly CARES Intraoral Scanner. 2. De- sign with the sophisticated 3D CARES Visual Soft- ware, and 3. Mill with the CARES C-Series. The Straumann CARES Digital Solutions offering con- nects carefully selected, efi cient dental equipment with the latest digital technology and premium ma- terials to provide a seamless, open and fully vali- dated digital workfl ow for dental professionals. Selected features • Wet milling and grinding • Quick milling of glass ceramic and hybrid mate- rials • 4-axis power spindle with 100,000 rpm/750 W • Time to mill single crown: ~ 15 min • Plug and play • Automated calibration process • Small dimensions 480 x 640 x 540 mm www.straumann.com http://starget.straumann.com/tag/ cares-digital-solutions new implant surface MIS announces release of B+ implant surface In March 2017, MIS Implants Technologies is ofi cially launching its latest in im- plant engineering, the B+ implant surface treatment, at the International Dental Show in Cologne. The B+ layer bonds chemically with the surface of the titanium dioxide of an implant and integrates perfectly with existing and newly forming bone, achieving greater initial osseointegration and longer-term stability. Dr Björn-Owe Aronsson, who developed this unique surface together with his team at Nano Bridging Molecules, has presented case studies in which B+ proved very efi cient in maintaining the bone level over time. This is particularly benei cial for patients with compromised bone healing particularly benei cial for patients with compromised bone healing and poor blood supply.

Aronsson explains: “Titanium is used as implant Aronsson explains: “Titanium is used as implant material due to its inertness and high acceptance material due to its inertness and high acceptance by the body. Over the years, however, a wish for by the body. Over the years, however, a wish for faster and more predictable integration with the faster and more predictable integration with the bone has been driving research on the importance bone has been driving research on the importance of the surface structural and chemical properties.” of the surface structural and chemical properties.” MIS Implants Technologies latest product novelty, the B+ implant surface treat- ment, will be launched in March. (Photograph: MIS) The surface consists of a monolayer of multi-phosphonate molecules. These have a very high afi nity to titanium dioxide, enabling a true covalent bond. The unique properties of this layer also make it extremely hydrophilic, which facilitates the colonisation of cells on the surface naturally. Research has even shown that blood vessels grow directly into the surface of the implant, which is unaffected by the oral environment and has been proved very stable in different pH levels. “With the initial results from testing of the B+ surface, it was discovered that, for the i rst time, specii c biochemical bonding can be obtained already for the i rst time, specii c biochemical bonding can be obtained already at the very early healing phase after implantation,” Aronsson said. at the very early healing phase after implantation,” Aronsson said.
