Toronto bridge in Fiberglass and Composite material

Hi everyone,
my name is Francesco Napolitano, a  Dental Technician, and DGSHAPE customer for some time now. I am excited to share this fantastic project and I would like to thank DGSHAPE for this great opportunity. I am convinced that sharing knowledge, continually updating, and being able to form a team leads to exceptional results.  
Digital technology is helping us achieve this, but it is always the people, intuition, and continuous learning that makes the difference.   When searching for solutions, the Surgery/Laboratory collaboration is a winning combination!   I believe that for a surgery to provide its patient with fast solutions to problems that often create anxiety, is a great result! And, the fact that we laboratories can help our referral surgeries is equally significant. This encourages us, together with our passion, to always do our best. Digital knowledge also helps us to come up with new concepts and processes.

Let’s start by scanning the 2 arches in the articulator, and from the position of the implants in the lower maxillary.

Having done this, we can start to position the anatomies in the same position as the final work, so we have the correct position of each individual die on our primary structure.

Once our anatomies have been reduced,  we make a slight reduction of our finished gum, which will be covered with a pink composite material at the end. We generate the final STL file that we will dry mill in fibreglass, using a DWX 5 axis with specific strategies for this kind of material created in HYPERDENT. The DGSHAPE machines are compact, precise and versatile, and an ideal aid to in-house processings even for complex jobs like this.

Would you like to discover the strengths of the 5-axis DWX that our DGSHAPER used?
