Biomet 3i offer a new solution to meet aesthetic demands, with the Encode Complete Restorative System. Utilising Robocast Technology to eliminate implant level impressions and the need to inventory components, this process delivers a patient specific abutment and a master cast ready for the final restoration fabrication.

A supragingival impression of the Encode Healing Abutment is taken by the clinician (after placement by the surgeon). Codes embedded on the occlusal surface of the Encode Healing Abutment communicate the implant depth, hex-orientation, platform diameter and interface (Certain Internal Connection or External Connection).

This information allows Biomet 3i Architech PSR dental technicians to create an anatomic patient specific abutment with appropriate margin height and natural emergence contours while a robot places the implant body analogs to create a master cast.

As there is no need to remove a healing abutment and seat an impression coping, soft tissue is spared the unnecessary trauma of traditional techniques. The Encode Complete System process results in an anatomically designed final abutment created to specifications with consideration of the surrounding gingival architecture and dental structures.
