Design software from Amann Girrbach ensures simple and reliable workflow in the fabrication of restorations
With the Upgrade 4.4 for Ceramill Map, Ceramill Mind and Ceramill Match 2, the range of functions of the intelligent Ceramill software has yet again been significantly expanded. New features include the C-Clamp blank holder for working with the Ceramill Matik, the bar overdenture as a new indication for use, angulated screw channels for titanium implant work, the Diamond Finish dry milling strategy, as well as a host of new functions for the Ceramill Map 600 and Ceramill Map 200 3D scanners. Also new is the dark mode display option for the entire user interface, which, in addition to its esthetic com-ponent, above all reduces eye fatigue in poor light conditions.
C-Clamp for Ceramill Matik offers even better results in the anterior tooth region
"The latest software upgrade provides users with numerous new features and additional simplifications in their daily workflow. We support our customers to enable them to create higher-quality restorations even more easily, quickly and cost-effectively," emphasizes Nikolaus Johannson, Head of the Global Business Unit Lab CAD/CAM at Amann Girrbach. The new features include the C-Clamp blank holder for the Ceramill Matik. This feature ensures better accessibility in the anterior tooth region and thus first-class milling results: Reworking of the connectors is no longer required, which saves time and sig-nificantly adds to convenience.
Bar overdentures as a new indication, Diamond Finish as a new milling strategy for composite blocs
An additional novelty is the now available indication of bar-supported removable dentures - the so-called bar overdentures. "The workflows involved in fabricating these dentures have been greatly sim-plified. While at the same time, ensuring maximum process safety," explains Johannson. Also new is the indication for angulated screw channels for titanium implant work. "With this feature, users on the one hand benefit from greater esthetic design freedom during finishing and on the other from even more flexibility due to the additional design options," says Johannson. Workflows are also optimized by the now integrated option of adopting the tooth shapes of old dentures when fabricating new full dentures. "Due to digital support, the functions of the new denture are improved while retaining the fa-miliar esthetics for the patient," emphasizes Johansson. In addition, the application options are ex-panded to include the new Diamond Finish milling strategy for composite blocs in all hardness grades, which ensures maximum precision and excellent surface quality, as well as a full 3D viewer which al-lows previewing in 3D without having to call up the CAD software.
Expanded scanning options: Free mode and Pre-Op Scans
There are also numerous new options for scanning in the current 4.4 Upgrade. The new "Free mode" scanning function makes scanning more flexible; among other things, the scanning sequence can now be freely selected. The extended "Comprehensive Scan" strategy is used to reduce the number of manual rescans, and the pre-op scans can now be combined with full denture impressions. "With the broad portfolio of the new upgrade, we ensure efficient, flexible and convenient working and also guar-antee the future security of the laboratory and dental practice," concludes Nikolaus Johannson.
