SCHAAN, Liechtenstein: Ivoclar revolutionised the fabrication of complete dentures two years ago with the introduction of the Ivotion Denture System, which offers a complete workflow for the digital fabrication of high-quality dentures. The company has now taken things a step further by expanding its partnership with leading software provider exocad. The Ivotion Denture add-on module has been integrated in exocad’s DentalCAD software, providing users with an efficient manufacturing workflow for the digital fabrication of superior quality removable dentures.

Thanks to this collaboration, customers of both companies can now enjoy a seamless state-of-the-art workflow for the rapid digital fabrication of removable dentures. Integration of the Ivotion Denture add-on module in the DentalCAD system means that users can design digital dentures in their preferred environment. The optimised workflow enables custom fabrication and a result that is adapted to the needs of the patient. Moreover, the integration also provides users with access to popular Ivoclar tooth libraries having full-arch set-ups, morphing tools and set-up features.

For even better customisation, the third gingival shade that was introduced by Ivoclar last year can also be used, and the Ivotion Denture add-on module contains all the features of the oversize workflow in combination with the proven Ivotion Base, Ivotion Dent and Ivotion Dent Multi discs. To round off the range of applications, the features of the monolithic workflow with Ivotion and Shell Geometry are also on board.

Fast, efficient, predictable—the comprehensive approach of the Ivotion workflow

The Ivotion Denture System enables dentists, dental technicians and dental laboratories to intuitively design digital dentures. Now, exocad users can also make the most of efficient design using Ivotion.

Thanks to its open structure, exocad DentalCAD can be easily used with existing systems in the Ivoclar range of PrograScan laboratory scanners and PrograMill milling machines and can be seamlessly integrated in the digital Ivotion workflow. The PrograScan PS5 and PS3 laboratory scanners have made a lasting impact on the market with their powerful and reliable scanning. These scanners can now also be used with the exocad DentalCAD software, and digital impressions can be integrated directly as colour models.

As a flagship product, PrograScan PS5 also allows the scanning of conventional impressions and enables reliable, high-resolution results. The sophisticated scanning software provides intuitive handling for preparing the fabrication of digital dentures as well as a guided scan workflow. In combination with the sophisticated design options of the exocad DentalCAD software, users benefit from a logical, integrated workflow that makes the design phase and subsequent fabrication significantly easier.

The PrograMill series of milling machines enable the perfect fit. The five-axis high-performance milling machine PrograMill PM7 supports a wide range of materials and applications in both wet and dry mode, and thanks to its high-performance spindle, it quickly delivers first-class surface quality. The seamless connection with the digital workflow, in combination with intuitive operation, enables smooth handling as part of the daily routine. With the introduction of the Ivotion Denture System, Ivoclar achieved a milestone in removable dentures. Now, with the Ivotion Denture add-on module, it has cleverly expanded this successful offering.

The partnership with exocad represents another logical step for Ivoclar in the continuous expansion of the Ivotion Denture System, optimising it to suit customer needs and providing even more users with access to the digital workflow for denture fabrication.

The Ivotion Denture add-on module is now available. Visit the Ivoclar website for more information.
