Bellus3D Dental Pro provides a powerful and easy-to-use 3D face scanning solution, enabling dentists to incorporate 3D facial scans into the dental treatment planning process. Extraoral images can be captured in as little as 10 seconds and then easily aligned with digital impressions and 3D CBCT images. This allows the application to quickly and easily create before and after simulations for engaging patient presentations. Built-in smile design and facebow guide planes make for easy placement of face scans into virtual articulators within 3Shape Dental System, exocad, and other digital dental planning software platforms.

The possibilities this software unlocks:

Beyond adding a new dimension to treatment planning and case presentation, Dental Pro is designed to make case collaboration simple. Clinicians can collaborate with colleagues and dental labs via the Dental Pro Web application. This allows the digital models created in the software to be shared with labs for fast, accurate digital dental design. The files can be exported into standard CAD file formats for use with a range of design solutions.

A single-shade, flowable composite, OMNICHROMA FLOW is designed to match any of the 16 VITA Classical shades with just 1 composite. Indicated for class I through class V restorations in both the anterior and posterior, the material is designed to add efficiency to treatment while allowing practices to reduce and simplify the restorative materials inventory. The material offers optimal physical properties, low shrinkage, and high wear resistance to allow for the creation of esthetic, durable direct restorations. Also available is OMNICHROMA BLOCKER FLOW which is used to assist with shade matching when there is not enough tooth structure available, such as with large class III or IV restorations or when staining needs to be blocked out.

Why this material is notable:

The original OMNICHROMA composite made a huge impact when it was launched as it offered a previously unknown simplicity to many restorative cases. OMNICHROMA FLOW features the same Smart Chromatic Technology that provides the shade matching capabilities of the original OMNICHROMA material but offers the flowable consistency that is ideal for creating restorations in certain clinical situations.

Zen CP+ is designed to relieve tooth sensitivity by delivering minerals to the tooth surface and dentinal tubules. Using CAPOSAL® microsphere technology, which reacts with saliva, the gel distributes small particles consisting of calcium phosphate that penetrates the dentin tubules to release calcium and phosphate ions for rapid mineralization. The minerals are formed deep in the dentin tubules and are said to be unaffected by acid or wear. Zen CP+ does not contain milk-derived proteins, making it safe for patients with allergies.
