Carestream Dental’s CS 3000 Receives Approval For VITABLOCS Mark II Restorative
Partnership Provides New Milling Machine
With Fine-Structure Feldspar Ceramic Material for High-Quality Restorations
NEW ORLEANS – Carestream
Dental and VITA today announced that they are entering into a new
partnership to support their respective restoration offerings.
Carestream Dental’s CS 3000 milling machine has earned approval from
VITA to work with the company’s VITABLOCS® Mark II
restorative, a fine-structure feldspar ceramic material. Officially part
of the CS Solutions CAD/CAM restoration portfolio the CS 3000 enables
practitioners to mill aesthetic, anatomically accurate restorations in a
single appointment.
The CS 3000 is a Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) tool featuring
a 4-axis brushless motor that produces high-quality restorations with ±
25 µm accuracy. The system’s compact design and quiet, vibration-free
milling allow practitioners to use the machine anywhere, even chairside.
Additionally, the CS 3000’s sturdy construction provides high
torsion-resistance with minimum deviation for precise milling, even
after years of use. The average milling time for a crown with the CS
3000 is less than 15 minutes.
“We
designed our CS Solutions portfolio to provide dentists with the tools
they need to make their restoration workflow more efficient,” said Edward Shellard, D.M.D., chief marketing officer and director of business development for Carestream Dental.
“To complement the productivity of the CS 3000, we want
industry-leading partners who can offer versatile materials to meet
doctors’ preferences. We first looked to VITA because their VITABLOCS® Mark II restorative yields durable, natural results.”
The VITABLOCS®
Mark II restorative is a fine-structure feldspar ceramic material that
has been on the market for more than 20 years. The restorative is ideal
for inlays, onlays, as well as full and partial crowns in the anterior
and posterior areas. The highly translucent monochromatic blocks ensure
shade matching with patients’ surrounding teeth. This shade integration,
also known as the chameleon effect, allows dentists to create
customized, aesthetic restorations.
“We’re
proud to be Carestream Dental’s partner as they enter into the CAD/CAM
product category,” said Patrick Bayer, product manager of custom
products for VITA. “Together, the CS 3000 and our VITABLOCS®
Mark II restorative provide practices with the resources they need to
create aesthetically pleasing restorations without sacrificing quality.”
Through
this partnership, VITA will also provide Carestream Dental’s CS 3000
customers in the United States with additional tools to complement the
VITABLOCS® Mark II restorative, including stains, polishes, modeling liquid, firing stands, shade guides, furnaces and other accessories.
“As
an innovator in the restorative dentistry space, VITA shares our goal
of helping practices provide the best patient care possible, and our
strong partnership will save time for dentists and their patients,” Dr.
Shellard said. “We look forward to growing our relationship with VITA
and further expanding our offerings to include new materials that can be
milled with the CS 3000.”
