The broad range of indications and the easy to use software interface make Dentsply Sirona's inLab CAD/CAM software a central component of the digital workflow in many laboratories. The brand new inLab software 19.0 update offers more design options, better efficient organization of production and enhanced networking with the dental practice.
The continuous development and optimization of the inLab software strengthens professional application opportunities for more productivity in the laboratory. The inLab CAD SW 19.0 Model App now allows laboratories to use both nt-trading and ELOS Medtech model analogs when designing implant prosthetic cases. Furthermore, Atlantis® Core Files that are received can now be made into a model, under consideration of the appropriate abutment geometry, so that an analog model is not required for such cases.
The cooperation between Dentsply Sirona and exocad®, which was announced earlier this year, represents a synergistic partnership that benefits the dental laboratory. exocad® users can now take advantage of a validated workflow that utilizes Dentsply Sirona’s high-precision extraoral scanner, the inEos X5. This workflow enables a case to be created in exocad®, then scanned with inEos X5 from inLab software version 19.0 or higher, and designed with the exocad® software* in a fully integrated workflow.
inLab CAM software with new process options
inLab CAM software 19.0 provides even more efficient production processes, particularly when used with the 5-axis inLab MC X5 grinding and milling unit. For the first time, inLab CAM 19.0 contains an analysis tool that ensures a high-level of reliability by providing a production simulation that previews the final production, on the basis of positioning, sprueing and tool configuration. The thickness of the walls of the object can also be tested before processing.
For the manufacturing of Dentsply Sirona Digital Dentures, the software update offers freespace milling of the Lucitone? 199 Denture Base disk the provides easier access for the lab technician when bonding Portrait IPN? Denture Teeth in place. Furthermore, 35mm disks in height (of all material classes) can now be processed in the inLab MC X5, including Lucitone 199.
In the case of restoration data from other CAD software, tool-compatible machining of the fitting surfaces is also possible with the inLab production machines. The inLab MC X5 can now also be used to produce crowns with screw access channels from grinding materials using the wet grinding process, e.g., Celtra Duo, for the manufacture of implant-based restorations.
Be it seamless inLab system integration with automatic data transfer or the import of open data: regardless of which CAD data basis is used, the inLab CAM software has an intelligent query system, and guides the user safely through the manufacturing process depending on the type of restoration. In addition, the extended validated construction info interface with exocad® enables restoration data to be conveniently imported into the inLab CAM software for the first time in a compatible format, where it can be processed with inLab MC X5 or inLab MC XL.*
The new Cercon® xt ML disk from Dentsply Sirona – the extra translucent zirconia with a natural color gradient for high-quality esthetic results – has also been validated for production with inLab MC X5. It can be selected directly in the inLab CAM 19 software or higher going forward.
New Connect Case Center Inbox for all dental laboratories
inLab users still benefit from the ability to receive digital impressions and order data transmitted through Connect Case Center, formerly Sirona Connect, directly within the inLab software. The Connect Case Center Inbox is a new feature. This standalone application gives labs that also, or only, work with other CAD/CAM software flexible access to digital impression data that has been generated from a CEREC digital impression unit, such as Primescan or Omnicam. For further processing in the preferred laboratory software, the Inbox not only generates the inLab format, but for the first time, also the dental project format validated for exocad®, providing model and case data, color information and preparation margins. Other common open data formats, such as STL and OBJ, are also available. Further functions can also be used, such as multiple downloading for the storage of cases in predefined work folders and linking to laboratory management software.
