Healing Abutments

DESS healing abutments are a biocompatible and cost-effective solution for gingival healing and adaptation. They are manufactured in different heights and available with leading implant systems to deliver total flexibility while providing a perfect fitting prosthesis. All healing abutments are made of Grade 5 ELI Titanium and contain laser markings to easily handle and identify the measures as well as the implant platform, reducing the risk of mixing.

• Driver connection is the same driver as prosthetic screw to ensure easy handling
• Variety of gingival heights produces optimal clinical adaptation
• Tightening connection equal to the corresponding clinical screw.

Multi-Unit & Uniabutments

DESS Multi-Unit Abutments are manufactured using Pure Switch technology with additional features that optimize strength and handling for screw retained prosthetics. They are available in a variety of connections and versions consisting of straight non-engaging and angled engaging heights to accommodate different gingival thickness.

• Placement carriers facilitates placement and handling while saving time and effort
• Cut screw head provides higher material strength while containing fully threaded areas
• Standardized platform for screw-retained prosthetics like all-on-fours
• Available in two different heights:
  • Different angles 0° - 17° - 30°
  • Different gingival heights available from 1 to 5mm

PreMill Blanks

DESS® Pre-milled Blanks allow the production of one-piece abutments with in-house milling equipment while maintaining DESS® high quality precision in the important connection geometry. The system includes blanks in either Titanium or CrCo for most implant platforms with a proprietary holder system for Imes-Icore®, VHF®, Yenadent® and other milling machines with standard 98mm holders.

The Pre-milled Blanks are made from Titanium Grade 5 ELI and the exclusive Micro Melt Cobalt-Chrome. This CrCo alloy has several advantages like no internal tension preserving the designed shape and makes less risk for ceramic cracks while also being easier to mill and preserving milling tools.

The holder provides a quick "screw-on" feature where the blanks are attached to the sub-holder outside the machine and placed in the main holder that remains in the machine. The individual blanks are attached to the holder using a "pull down and lock" system that is time-saving and will assure maximum precision and stability during the milling process.

Intraoral Scan Abutments

The Intraoral Scan Abutments from DESS are spray free due to the sandblasting treatment (SelectGrip® technology) done during the manufacturing process, which allows for a perfect finish and better radiopacity. Their surface is enhanced with ZrN coating that improves resistance and durability. The radiopaque Zirconia material that can be tightened by hand or with a special tool (included with the intraoral scan abutment).

Eliminating the screw hole from the scan abutment design also eliminates the need to use a screwdriver, eliminates any scan distortion and the captive screw facilitates easy and safe manual positioning, cleaning, and autoclaving.

Desktop Scan Abutments

The Desktop Scan Abutments from DESS are manufactured in a durable and radiopaque PEEK material and features the SelectGrip® technology, an enhanced retention surface treatment that improves overall retention up to 500%. The scan abutments higher position orientation shape provides technician with maximum visibility. Eliminating the screw hole from the scan abutment design also eliminates the need to use a screwdriver, eliminates any scan distortion and the captive screw facilitates easy and safe manual positioning, cleaning, and autoclaving.

Compatible Scan Abutments

Screws

DESS® screws are manufactured using the Pure Switch concept that matches the exact geometry, material, driver and torque values of the branded implant system ensuring a perfect fit. The screws are designed to ensure the perfect fit with both the standard accessories as well as with special CAD/CAM systems for structures, bridges and custom abutments. Also available are longer, different sockets, heads with flat contact face, all these versions aim to improve the structures passivity and fitting.

Some DESS® screws are also available in DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coated version. In this version the screw is coated with a hard carbon layer to provide a low friction surface, improving the preload of the screw and producing a high clamping force between the abutment and the Implant.

• Titanium grade ensures strength, optimial preload and biocompatibility
• DLC coating and TIN coating screws available that will increase preload at recommended torque

Screwdrivers

DESS patented screwdrivers combine the best of the parallel & the conical screwdrivers. All DESS screwdrivers are manufactured in Stainless Hardened Steel for increased durability and wear resistance.

DESS® Screwdrivers:

• Better clamping
• Durability
• Screw head protection

Temp Abutments

This biocompatible and cost-effective solution for short-term and long-term temporary crowns and bridges contains horizontal grooves designed to save time and increases retention of restorative materials.

• Grooves allow for the vertical embedding of any restoration material
• SelectGrip® treated surface to improve its retention capacity
• Made of titanium grade 5 ELI
• Engaging and non-engaging solutions for single crowns and bridges
• Delivered with the corresponding prosthetic screw

Ti Base

DESS TiBases are manufactured using SelectGrip® technology a patented surface lasered treatment that ensures greater adhesion of the structure with the cement. DESS® Ti Base are indicated for use with milled zirconia or final casted metal crowns in metal or zirconia and available in both engaging and nonengaging versions for single and multiple restorations. Dimensions and design ensure a stable union, reinforcing the structure of zirconia in the areas of greatest stress, softening edges and ensuring the service life of the prosthesis.

• In the case of cemented prosthesis, the single abutment carries out the stump. Once tried in, it is cemented to the engaging ti base to continue with the second part.
• With single screwed prosthesis it is cemented at the end of the treatment once the part is proven and glazed.

Models are available in three different gingival heights for most of the implant connections in diameters NP, RP and WP for both, single tooth prosthesis (engaging) and multiple teeth prosthesis, dental bridges and hybrids (non-engaging).

Two different heights are also available for the Multi-Unit® connection:

• 6 mm
• 8 mm

CoCr Base

The CrCo (Cobalt-Chrome) interface combined with a castable sleeve is compatible with many casting alloys on the market. The burnout sleeve enables technicians to work directly on the Cobalt-Chrome, that porcelain can be applied to and fired while retaining the quality of the implant connection.

By having engaging and non-engaging versions, both single and multiple unit structures can be made. All can be welded to the CrCo base if they are made also in CrCo.

AurumBase & AngleBase

The perfect solution where you need to angle the screw channel. Thanks to the uniquely shaped profile an angled screw insertion of up to 25° with full torque can be achieved. The AURUMBase® is made of Titanium Grade 5 ELI and is gold-anodized improving the esthetic demands. SelectGrip® technology is applied to the retention surfaces and the design is incorporated to the official DESS® CAD libraries from 3Shape®, Exocad®, and Dental Wings®.

There are clinical situations where the long-axis of the implant results in an unfavorable location of the screw access hole. To solve this and maintain the screw retrievability the AURUMBase® allow you to move the access hole to a more favorable location by angling the screw channel up to 25° in any direction. This is achieved using a uniquely designed screw and driver that also makes it possible to reach full recommended torque even at maximum angulation. The same screw connection and driver is used for all DESS® platforms which limits the number of components and tools.

Feature and Benefits:

• Component made of Titanium Grade 5 ELI and delivered with the abutment screw.
• Gold-anodized for a warmer hue in thin tissue especially in the esthetic zone
• SelectGrip® treated in the retention area for optimal bonding in both static and dynamic situations
• De-bonding tests show much better results for AURUMBase® compared to competitive products on the market
• 30% less exit hole area compared to competition will facilitate the design and improve esthetics.
• Same design of screw connection and driver tool for all DESS® platforms based on Torx® will limit the need for different tools and risk for mix ups.
• Available in both engaging and non-engaging versions for single tooth and bridge restorations.
