BEGO presents new developments and advancements at the
IDS
The Bremen based dental specialist presents itself at the International Dental
Show (IDS) with many innovations and further developments in conventional
and digital dental technology. In addition to the IDS highlight, the new 3D
printing system around the smart 3D printer Varseo S, customers will benefit
from the new Mediloy® milling blanks and the extended scanning range.
On time for the opening of the dental world’s leading trade fair BEGO presents the
new 3D printer Varseo S for quick, easy and cost-effective laboratory production of
restorations made from resins. Thanks to the approximately 30% larger building plate
compared to the previous model Varseo, now the simultaneous printing of even more
objects is possible. The unique cartridge system allows a material change in a few
seconds, a low material consumption and a minimal material ageing. Additionally, the
network capability of the compact device enables a fast BEGO service via remote
control.
The Varseo S 3D printing system also includes the new light-curing unit BEGO
Otoflash for rapid and reliable light-curing of the VarseoWax resins, the investment
material VarseoVest P for CAD/Cast partial denture frames as well as software tools
and services. The new resin VarseoWax Splint E for 3D printing of occlusal splints
with excellent flow properties provides a dense surface, a high level of impact
strength for guaranteed stability and long-term durability in the patient’s mouth. In the
course of 2017, BEGO is going to expand its range of resins by providing VarseoWax
Base for 3D printing of full denture bases as well as VarseoWax Temp for 3D printing
of long-term temporaries.
Important for the user: The BEGO 3D printing system makes them MDR ready!
Validated processes from scanning to finishing and the associated process
documentation provide them security that future requirements on the production of
medical devices will be met in compliance with the Medical Device Regulation
(MDR).
BEGO also offers a comprehensive range of laboratory scanners and CAD software.
Users can choose from different systems of scanner models in conjunction with
market-leading CAD software. New releases are the BEGO LabScan UHD (Ultra
High Definition) powered by exocad* as well as the new BEGO
SPEEDSCAN®/3Shape* scanner (models E1, E2 und E3) with high-resolution 5.0
MP cameras.
The portfolio of CAD/CAM materials is also being expanded. The new Mediloy®
cobalt-chrome und titanium milling blanks offer the possibility to produce crowns and
bridges as well as implant prosthetics directly in the laboratory. Additionally,
customers will profit from the range of orthodontic appliances made out of Wirobond ®
C+. The appliances produced in the high tech CAD/CAM production center in
Bremen using the SLM (selective laser melting) method are indicated as exposures
to function elements and/or supports. Another addition to the portfolio are individual
healing posts, which ensure a patient-customized soft tissue management for
outstanding esthetics. The new multilayer zirconia KATANA* Zirconia UTML (Ultra
Translucent Multi Layered), characterized by its smooth color gradient and its high
level of translucency, and thermoplastic splints made out of BEGO PMMA Splint E
with a very high wearing comfort complement the product range.
