3Shape A/S has announced the official release of new capabilities in its Dental System to design two-piece customised abutments using the Straumann Variobase abutment connection – a pre-manufactured titanium interface.

3Shape has integrated an original Straumann library within its software supporting Straumann Bone Level and Tissue Level implant systems. The library enables dental technicians to use 3Shape Abutment Designer to model two-piece abutments using a pre-manufactured titanium base with a customised zirconia abutment top. To manufacture the designed restoration, the original titanium base must be obtained from Straumann and the customised zirconia part can be milled locally in the lab or milling centre.
