Dr. John Nosti, DMD, can’t say enough about proper processing when it comes to a successful denture workflow. But, how do you better that process?

He shares his insights on removables in a candid conversation with Advanstar Dental Media Content Director Kevin Henry, as well as demonstrating it in a streaming on-demand webinar.

For lab techs, Nosti says, any successful dental workflow comes down to understanding how to use the right communication tools with dentists. This streamlines the process and makes it more predictable for dentists.

Understanding how to use the latest and most innovative products and procedures on the market ultimately can put one lab ahead of another. Nosti says once labs know how to use these tools, they are at a severe advantage.

 has announced a new implant system. The 

 reportedly offers clinicians flexible implant options for stabilizing overdentures and partial dentures.

This implant system is designed to be user-friendly and features four implant diameters, offering solutions for every removable indication. The 2.2mm and 3.25mm diameter implants are available in a one-piece design. 

The system also includes 3.3mm and 4.1mm diameter, two-stage implants. All implants utilize the same prosthetic platform, the Micro ERA, the original vertically resilient nylon attachment system. The 3.3mm and 4.1mm are also indicated for fixed prosthetics. For more information, visit

 has launched the 2014 R2 release of its 

 for the milling of dental implant restorations.

The new version provides a new mechanism for receiving parts from Delcam’s OrderManager system, more control when using multi-holder fixtures and new options for non-uniform scaling of items. Smaller enhancements include improved library management and easier set-up for 3+2 machining.

DentMILL is an open dental CAM solution, which can mill all types of restorations, including crowns, bridges and implants, from all major dental CAD systems on the market. It is based on Delcam’s award-winning PowerMILL software for high-speed and five-axis machining, and includes strategies to mill restorations in any material from PMMA to titanium.

DentMILL is linked to Delcam’s OrderManager workflow management software so the new part library is updated automatically once a new order is received. OrderManager then manages the whole process from the initial order through to manufacturing and final dispatch. At all stages users can maintain a real-time view of the center's total order status. The improvements in the 2014 R2 release provide a quicker, slicker and more intelligent mechanism for transferring new restorations into DentMILL from OrderManager.

Multi-holder fixtures allow individual restorations to be machined from discrete blocks of material, rather than machining multiple items from a single block. DentMILL 2014 R2 reportedly gives users more control when using this type of fixture. For example, if similar types of restoration are being produced in all the positions, the same set of strategies can be applied to the complete group. Alternatively, individual machining approaches can be used to calculate the toolpaths if each item is of a different type.

In addition, the machining sequence can be set up so that all operations with a particular tool across the various items can be completed in sequence before moving to the next cutter so reducing tooling changes. If preferred, each restoration can be machined completely before moving to the next item.

DentMILL has always offered an option to scale models to compensate for shrinkage of materials during the sintering process. This option has been made more powerful with the ability to undertake non-uniform 3D scaling, allowing more accurate scaling to give better-fitting restorations.

Data import has also been enhanced to improve the import of models from many different open and closed systems, an important area for an open system like DentMILL. In particular, more variants of 3Shape parts can now be read into the software.

	Cast partial repairs are a common task in many dental labs and offices. Patients wearing these partials often loose supporting teeth. Clasps and extrusions break from adjustments or simply from metal fatigue.

Lab technicians and dentists add retention for teeth and add wrought wire clasps in a variety of methods. Sometimes there is sufficient acrylic base where wires can be embedded. Occasionally silver solder can be used for repairs, but this usually involves replacing all the teeth. Laser and phaser welding are an excellent method to add retention and clasps. Unfortunately, not every lab has access to these expensive welders.
