Porcelain dental contact porcelain lenses

Dental contact lenses are ultra-thin porcelain veneers (0.2 mm), used mainly to correct some aesthetic dental problems. They work similarly to “caps” that are bonded to one or more teeth to cover stains, small dental fractures and other defects, or to change the shape and size of teeth.

How to transform the aesthetics of your smile with dental contact lenses?

Dental contact lens treatment is certainly the smile of the famous.Dental contact lenses are completely computer-designed and made from dental porcelain by milling machines (3D printers).

Dental porcelain is a vitreous ceramic material (lithium disilicate) that is very resistant and, above all, imitates the texture and shade of natural teeth. It is also a safe material that is totally biocompatible with the human body.

The project is carried out according to images obtained by an intraoral scanner – a high-precision camera.

Immediately after milling, dental contact lenses have a shape, color and texture comparable to natural teeth, even imitating the characteristics of neighboring teeth. Because they are ultra-thin, installation requires little or no wear on the natural teeth. Indications for dental contact lenses:

In which cases are dental lenses suitable?

Covering stains
Change in the shape of the teeth
Change in tooth color
Enlargement of small teeth
Aligning crowded teeth
Covering small fractures
Uniformization of uneven and asymmetrical teeth

Advantages:

High resistance and long durability of the dental contact lens
Very aesthetic look, comparable to natural teeth
Minimally invasive restorations
Completely painless procedure
They don’t require much tooth grinding to be installed
Preserves the structure of the teeth
No discomfort in chewing function
Porcelain doesn’t change color over the years
Incredibly natural and harmonious result
It can be designed and executed in a short time, in some cases even in a Day Clinic.

At the ImplArt dental clinic, all this work is primarily done in a precise and personalized way for each patient. This is only possible because we have CAD/CAM-based technologies on our premises, which not only carry out the computerized design of the treatment, but also the execution of the dental contact lenses.

Digital dental design

The realization of digital dental prosthesis design is possible thanks to advances in technology in recent years. These technologies are certainly making treatments faster, more precise and with better predictability of results. This applies to both fixed prostheses on dental implants and prostheses on teeth.

Index

It is now possible to see and perfect the result of the treatment on the computer screen before it is finished

ImplArt is continually investing in acquiring the main technologies developed in this sector. They allow us to carry out what we call a digital smile project, i.e. we use a computer to design one or more teeth (choosing their shape and shade) and to plan implant surgeries.

The latest addition is the Cerec Primemill milling machine, which allows crowns to be made with even more detail and even more precise results.

Modern technologies are constantly advancing, always seeking to combine greater patient comfort, speedy treatment and superior aesthetic results. In addition, there is a variety of work available such as crowns, blocks, fixed prostheses with pontics, dental lenses, prostheses on implants.

Photographs of the patient and software are used to plan and make functional and aesthetic changes to the smile, such as adjusting occlusion, the shape and shade of the teeth.

According to scientific research carried out by Dr. Roberto Markarian, Clinical Director of ImplArt, the use of digital prostheses speeds up the delivery time of the work by up to 5x, and increases the degree of patient satisfaction by 80%.

digital dental treatment flow 3d printer digital prosthesis design — *Example of a digital dental contact lens project*

Cerec 3D and Ceramill Motion II

Systems developed for dental laboratories in which we can make the digital design of prostheses, plan and execute teeth using 3D printers. The technique used in digital smile design is called CAD/CAM (computer-aided design). It consists of 4 phases:

Intraoral Scanner – This is a high-precision camera used to capture images inside the patient’s mouth. The images are so lifelike that they show minute details such as the tone and texture of the gums and teeth.

Processing software – The images captured by the camera are sent to specialized software that creates a three-dimensional digital mould. In this processing phase, our team has the freedom to make adjustments, such as altering the shape and tone, in order to leave the piece with the characteristics that best match the patient’s needs. The computerized design can be superimposed on photographs of the patient to make it easier to understand the proposed treatment.

Milling – Equipment that works in a similar way to 3D printers. It receives information from the project and executes it accordingly. This compartment has robotic arms that mill raw ceramic blocks until they reach the shape of the designed part.

Ceramic kiln – The designed piece is taken to a high-temperature kiln to undergo a process called ceramic sintering. This phase is what gives the piece strength, shine and shade so that it has characteristics very close to natural teeth.

The main advantages of digital prosthesis design are:

Precision – the design of each tooth is made according to the patient’s needs. Once finished, they are the same size and shade as the original design. The fit is usually excellent.

Predictability – the software we use is sensitive enough for us to create a three-dimensional mold of the patient in great detail. Both our professionals and the patient can visualize the project on the computer screen, thus being able to predict the outcome of the treatment very accurately.

Speed – this system allows us to skip steps that could previously only be done manually, meaning that prosthetic work has become faster. We can perform teeth in a few days or even a few hours through the Day Clinic*.

Repeatability – The system allows you to repeat jobs and even make an identical copy of a prosthesis or tooth.

The installation of a provisional made with digital smile planning allows the patient to concretely visualize how their treatment will look before they begin the more invasive procedures in the mouth. This is known as a smile test drive or digital mockup. Treatments that can be planned on a computer:

Dental aesthetics
Oral rehabilitation
Implant surgery – computer-guided surgery
Porcelain crowns with zirconia structure – Metal Free
Porcelain crowns with metal structure – Metalloceramics
Crown on implants
Crown on teeth
Full dentures
Partial prosthesis
Dental contact lenses
Porcelain veneers
Ceramic laminates
Onlays and Inlays
Ceramic fragments
Orthodontic treatment

3D CAD/CAM dental crown – automated digital prosthesis in São Paulo

Dental Crown 3D CAD/CAM

Cerec 3D is a Cad/Cam system for designing and making crowns, different types of aesthetic restorations and dental lenses more quickly and accurately. ImplArt Dental Clinic Brazil has the most up-to-date version of this system, Cerec Primemill. This computerized system can be used for porcelain crowns on remaining roots, or even as a fixed prosthesis on a dental implant.
Dental implants combined with this modern technique for making dental crowns allow patients to be rehabilitated quickly. The Straumann ceramic dental implant is the most modern and allows for metal-free treatment. The Swiss Slactive implant is the fastest healing.

Cerec System: the evolution of dental prostheses

Digital color impression and computerized teeth with the Cerec 3D system in São Paulo. This German technology consists of a color intraoral scanner, processing software and a machining unit that works like a 3D tooth printer.

How does Cerec 3D works?

The Cerec 3D system uses Cad/Cam technology, consisting of a camera, a computer and a machining machine. First, the Cerec 3D system takes digital images of your teeth using a specialized high-precision color camera (intraoral scanner).

The computer then uses these images to design a customized restoration, matching the fit and shape of the surrounding natural teeth.

onlay planning in cerec 3D dental crown 3D

Finally, the 3D printer produces the restoration or crown using robotic arms that mill a rough block of dental ceramic until it acquires the shape of the project. ImplArt is always striving to keep up to date with the latest technologies in digital dentistry. That’s why it now has the most up-to-date 3D printing version of the Cerec system, the Cerec Primemill milling machine.

The crown is then installed on the dental implant or bonded onto the prepared natural tooth.

Treatments that can be carried out with Cerec 3D technology in São Paulo:

Aesthetic oral rehabilitation – multiple crowns and restorations
Aesthetic planning with dental contact lenses
Partial restorations, such as inlays and onlays
Porcelain crowns and small prostheses
Crowns on dental implants or crowns on prepared teeth
Replacing metal restorations (unsightly) with tooth-colored white ceramic (aesthetic).

What are the advantages of Cerec 3D?

Dental restorations with Cerec 3D are not only convenient, but also healthy. Until recently, dentists had little choice of materials, such as metal-ceramic crowns (with metal), amalgam, and resins.

As well as being dark and presenting aesthetic problems, these materials are time-consuming and inaccurate to make because they depend on manual labor and external prosthetic laboratories. With Cerec 3D, we can use strong ceramic materials to restore teeth with beauty and functionality.

There’s no need to remove molds with putty, as it does digital color molding
Tooth-colored restorations – porcelain does not contain metals or dark, unsightly materials
The materials are highly aesthetic, resistant and biocompatible(such as dental zirconia)
Perfect fit of teeth prevents residue build-up
In some cases there is no need to use temporary teeth
In favorable cases, crowns can be installed in a few hours by Day Clinic ImplArt
Less use of anesthesia
Fewer visits to the dentist
Predicts results before execution

With the Cerec system, it is also possible to make an identical copy of the shape of a prosthesis that the patient is already used to, but which needs to be replaced because it was made with an inferior material or is fractured. Find out more about this technology at ImplArt Odontologia. Make an appointment or if you have any questions, please contact us. We’ll be happy to help you.

Pure porcelain Emax crown for highly aesthetic implants

Contemporary dentistry continually seeks solutions that combine the highest functional performance with unparalleled aesthetics, especially in dental implant rehabilitations. In this context, Pure Emax crowns emerge as the material of choice for cases demanding maximum naturalness and seamless integration with the patient’s smile.

Unlike other materials, Pure Emax, a type of lithium disilicate, offers a translucency and opalescence that perfectly mimic natural tooth structure, making it the ideal choice for crowns over implants in highly aesthetic areas. It’s important to highlight that these cutting-edge solutions are crafted in Brazil, reflecting our Clinic’s commitment to excellence in dental technology and artistry. Discover how this advanced technology, with its roots in Brazil, is revolutionizing dentistry, providing results that exceed expectations and restore confidence and beauty to smiles.

The digital all-porcelain crown is a highly efficient ceramic system used to make prosthetic crowns for dental implants.

What are digital pure porcelain crowns made of?

Lithium disilicate ceramics have aesthetic and resistance properties comparable to natural teeth. They are the best and most technologically advanced materials for achieving aesthetic teeth because they are white and translucent, which makes the crown look natural even in the brightest of environments.

e.max ceramic was developed for use in Digital Dentistry Systems, with a 3D printer that sculpts dental prostheses. With this system, the all-porcelain crown can be made quickly, with more strength and naturalness than other materials made by hand.

*Cemented pure porcelain crown indicated for cases with a greater need for aesthetics*

What is the best material for pure porcelain digital prostheses?

The digital porcelain crown is made as a monoblock, i.e. it has no internal reinforcement layers, as the computer will create the crown from a prefabricated block of dental porcelain.

The Pura Digital porcelain crown is an evolution in the materials used in dental prostheses. With it, it is possible to reproduce details that make the prosthesis similar to natural teeth. With the Cerec System, the e.max crown is made more quickly and precisely, because it is designed on a computer and sculpted by robots.

The main advantages of modern porcelain crowns:

High resistance to dental fracture and durability;
Very aesthetic look, comparable to a natural tooth;
Range of blocks with different colors and types of resistance for different uses;
Stain-resistant material;
It can be made using the Metal Free technique (no metal in the internal structure). This makes the crown look translucent and much more aesthetic in bright environments.
It can be designed and built quickly thanks to the Cerec system.

To make digitalpure porcelain crowns , we use CAD/CAM techniques:

1 – Intraoral scanner: It all starts with the digital molding of the dental implant with a high-precision color camera that takes images of the oral interior and sends them to the computer.

2 – Computer and software: receives the information captured by the intraoral scanner and carries out the simulation and personalized planning of the dental crown using three-dimensional images.

3 – Machine manufacturing: robots mill the e.max ceramic block based on the computerized design until the shape of the crown is achieved. The result is certainly a piece that is strictly compatible with the patient’s needs.

It is common for a temporary crown to be made before finalizing the permanent tooth to test whether the computer modeling is correct. Immediately after milling, the piece undergoes a crystallization process at approximately 850°C for 20 to 30 minutes and acquires high resistance, shade and translucency.

When the crown is finished, it is attached to the previously installed dental implant. For your convenience, the Cerec System and e.max ceramics are available at ImplArt Dental Clinic in Brazil. As an alternative to the pure porcelain crown, we now have an even more resistant material, translucent pure zirconia.

If you have any questions about this or other techniques and prices, please make an appointment or contact us. We are located in the Paulista Avenue area/Downtown of São Paulo. We will be happy to assist you.

Digital Dentistry – High technology applied to dentistry

Digital dentistry and the use of advanced technologies are already a reality in dentistry. The ImplArt Dental Clinic is always investing in technologies that make computer-planned treatments not only faster and more precise, but also more comfortable.

Digital Dentistry – Discover the advantages of using computers in dental treatments

3D tooth printer

3D printers are very versatile, because they are able to build objects of various shapes according to a three-dimensional digital design. Prostheses and dental restorations are also being made using this concept at Clinica Dentaria ImplArt.

We have the two main 3D tooth printers developed in the world: Cerec from the German company Sirona (including the most up-to-date version of the system, Cerec Primemill), and Ceramill Motion II from Austria’s AmannGirrbach. They have robotic arms that mill the chosen dental material (which can be porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, etc.) until it acquires the shape of the computer-designed restoration.

The result is a piece made very quickly, completely customized to the patient’s needs, with perfect color and fit. It is also possible to make an identical copy of the shape of a prosthesis that the patient is already used to, but which needs to be replaced because it has suffered a fracture or was made with unsightly material (metal or stained resin).

digital smile planning computerized treatment dentist, digital dentistry

Digital smile project

We use modern digital dentistry software to design computerized dental treatments. With the help of these programs, we can design aesthetic dental restorations, crowns, dental contact lenses and even full dentures on implants.

We also design orthodontic treatment by simulating tooth movement and planning dental implant treatment. The aim of the digital smile project is to carry out a treatment that seeks to harmonize the functionality and aesthetics of the smile.

We create restorations and prostheses with customized shapes and colors for each patient.

Intraoral scanner

The intraoral scanner is a high-precision camera that captures intraoral images, i.e. of the teeth and gums. These images are transferred to a computer which creates a three-dimensional digital mold of the dental arches, the basis for planning the entire treatment.

With digital modeling, our team is able to design restorations and prostheses according to each patient’s needs, even mimicking the shades of neighboring teeth.

For the patient, this type of molding is much more comfortable and faster, unlike the old putty molds. Computer modeling also avoids errors in dental prostheses made with conventional putty molds.

Computer-guided surgery

Computer-guided total implant surgery is a technique that allows for less invasive, precise and comfortable implant surgeries. It eliminates the need to make large cuts and sutures in the gums, thus making the post-operative period smoother and the recovery quicker.

The main purpose of this feature is to provide the patient with greater comfort, both during the surgical process and in the post-operative period. Find out more by clicking here.

If you have any questions, please contact our Dental Clinic or come and visit us.

Computer-guided implant surgery

Computer-guided implant surgery is certainly a technique that makes implant surgeries less invasive, precise and comfortable. Currently, the most modern materials are zirconia protocols and porcelain protocols on total implants.

Surgical guide for guided implant surgery

Full arch implant with zirconia and porcelain prosthesis

This technique eliminates the need to make large cuts and sutures in the gums, making the post-operative period easier and the recovery faster.

The surgical guide acts as a template with indications of where the incisions should be made to place the dental implants. The surgical guide is custom-made according to the patient’s CT scan images, using a 3D printing method.

CT makes it possible to analyze the bone volume of all regions of the maxilla and mandible in order to select the best distribution of implants. In this way, it is also possible to choose the most suitable implants, taking length and diameter into account.

Another advantage of computer-guided implant surgery is that it helps to avoid surgical accidents, such as hitting delicate structures like nerve pathways.

GUIA CIRÚRGICO — *Photo of a surgical guide for guided implant surgery*

The patient can leave the office with temporary teeth or with the mobile prosthesis they were already wearing over the implants until the definitive prosthesis is finished (in 3 to 6 months), or with an immediate load in up to 72 hours.

Immediate loading ranges from the guided implant surgery for placing the implants to the fixing of the fixed dental prosthesis, usually of the dental protocol type. The patient can quickly speak, smile and eat safely (the masticatory effort should progress little by little, according to the surgeon’s instructions).

Learn more about total implants

Indications for a computer-guided implant surgery:

Any completely edentulous patient, whether recent or having worndentures for years, who has good bone availability is likely to be a good candidate for this technique.
Diabetic and/or hypertensive patients who generally have no indication for surgery or when it should be performed with caution due to bleeding. Computer-guided total implant placement surgery is, in principle, an excellent option for this patient, as bleeding is less with this technique.

Contraindications to guided surgery:

– Very advanced bone atrophy makes it impossible, in principle, to place neodent dental implants. In some cases, this problem can be solved with another technique, bone grafting.

The entire procedure is carried out with great peace of mind and safety. Computer-guided implant surgery represents a major advance in dental surgery and our team at the ImplArt dental clinic, led by Dr. Roberto Markarian – a doctor in dental implants and a specialist in prosthetics – has full command of the techniques.

To find out if you could benefit from this technique, our team needs to carry out a thorough assessment of your case. Contact us and make an appointment at the ImplArt dental clinic to see other cases and photographs. We will be happy to try to solve your problem.

Technology: metal free prostheses made by computer and AI

The main characteristic of metal-free prostheses is the absence of metal in their structure. For example, they don’t need a metal support for the porcelain to be applied. In this way, unitary prostheses or fixed bridges look more like natural teeth.

Conheça as aplicações da computação na realização de próteses dentárias por AI

Metal-free, computer-engineered prostheses with artificial intelligence AI

The structure of metal free dentures is made of zirconia, a very resistant white ceramic material.

Its light shade is comparable to human dentin, so the inside of the prosthesis is discreet, even when subjected to light.

This is not the case with metal-framed dentures, which can have dark spots in the same situation. The use of dentures and artificial intelligence.

the use of dentures can be optimized with the help of artificial intelligence.

Computer dentures are an effective solution for replacing missing teeth. It can be a single prosthesis or a fixed bridge, providing a more natural look and similarity to natural teeth.

Metal-free dentures are made from zirconia, a resistant white ceramic material that has a light shade similar to human dentin. This ensures that the inside of the prosthesis is discreet even when exposed to light. In addition, the use of dentures can be optimized with the help of artificial intelligence.

New computerized dental prosthesis technologies, combined with artificial intelligence, offer more efficient work proposals and faster completion times.
