Carestream Dental’s CS 3000 Receives Approval For 3M ESPE Lava Ultimate Restorative
Partnership Provides New Milling Machine
With Resin Nano Ceramic Materials for Single-Appointment Restorations
ATLANTA – Carestream
Dental today announced that its CS 3000 milling machine has earned
approval from 3M ESPE to work with the company’s Lava Ultimate
Restorative, a resin nano ceramic material. Officially launched as part
of the CS Solutions CAD/CAM restoration portfolio at the 2013 American
Dental Association Annual Session, 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 is less than 15
minutes.
“As
Carestream Dental enters into this new product category, we want to
have strong partners who provide versatile block offerings,” said Edward
Shellard, D.M.D., chief marketing officer and director of business
development for Carestream Dental.
“Our partnership with 3M ESPE further expands the variety of materials
that practitioners can use with the CS 3000, enabling us to better
accommodate doctors’ preferences.”
Made
possible with 3M’s unique nanotechnology, Lava Ultimate Restorative is a
new material class called a resin nano ceramic. It offers a combination
of durability, polish retention and gentleness to opposing teeth,
providing excellent aesthetics and strength.
With
Lava Ultimate Restorative, patients experience a tooth-like bite feel
with less wear to the opposing dentition than with glass ceramics.
Should the underlying dentition need additional treatment or repair, the
material can be easily modified to achieve a real tooth structure. The
resin nano ceramic material is designed for long-term durability and
backed by a 10-year warranty. This makes Lava Ultimate Restorative an
ideal option for efficiently treating inlay, onlay and posterior crown
cases.
“Our
Lava Ultimate Restorative is characterized and finished without firing,
which dramatically reduces production time,” said Kristan Chesnut,
global business director with 3M Digital Oral Care. “This convenience,
combined with the CS 3000’s quick milling time, allows dentists to rest
assured that they will not have to sacrifice workflow efficiency for
precise, durable restorations.”
“Our
goal has always been to provide practices with the resources and
options they need to offer the best patient care possible,” Dr. Shellard
said. “We constantly take steps to accomplish this, and we will
continue to vet new partners who consistently offer tried-and-true
solutions to complement our CS Solutions portfolio and other product
offerings.”
