Zahn Dental, the US dental laboratory business of Henry Schein, Inc., has announced that it has entered into a distribution agreement with Terrats Medical, SL, the Spain-based manufacturer of the DESS® Dental Smart Solutions system. A prosthetic solutions provider, DESS offers solutions that can help enhance laboratory technicians’ ability to restore dental implants while providing dental laboratories with a single source for their prosthetic component needs.
Featuring a wide range of connections and platforms, the DESS product line includes analogs, screws, hybrid bases, solutions for angled screw channels, multi-unit abutments for screw-retained prosthetics, and digital workflow components compatible with leading implant manufacturer brands. Together, these options enable laboratory technicians to produce the entire treatment, from temporaries to screw or cement-retained prosthetics. As a result, the full portfolio of DESS solutions can help dental laboratories streamline their purchasing process, reduce inventory from a variety of implant manufacturers, and simplify the production workflow in their laboratory.
“Zahn is committed to providing innovative, integrated health care products and services that customers can rely on to help deliver high quality patient care,” said Rita Acquafredda, President, Global Laboratory Business, Zahn Dental. “The DESS portfolio of prosthetic components can help laboratory technicians produce premium restorations with reliable and durable prosthetic materials, further amplifying Zahn’s ability to deliver end-to-end solutions, and helping our customers’ implant businesses thrive.”
The DESS product line also offers laboratory technicians a range of options to meet the unique needs of patient cases. All DESS components come with a lifetime warranty, and DESS is offering to cover implant replacement in cases where the implant manufacturer does not honor its warranty.
“As DESS continues to innovate and ensure its current portfolio reflects the needs and demands of today’s industry, we are pleased to partner with Henry Schein’s laboratory business to help enhance the array of options its customers can access,” said Dr. Hans Berglund, Business Development, DESS Smart Solutions.
