ASCBase compatible with Multi-Unit
Screw included
One titanium base. Multiple restorative possibilities.
The DESS® ASCBase range, compatible with Multi-Unit, offers a versatile solution that allows the titanium base to be adapted to the specific requirements of each cemented and screw-retained restoration on Multi-Unit abutments.
Its design combines a height-adjustable bonding post with a screw access channel that can be straight or angulated up to 25°, providing greater versatility when planning and designing implant-supported restorations. This configuration allows the position of the screw access opening to be optimised according to the anatomical, functional and aesthetic requirements of each prosthetic restoration.
ASCBase incorporates predefined cutting grooves that allow the height of the bonding post to be customised with straight or diagonal cuts. Starting from an initial height of 8 mm, straight cuts reduce the height to 7, 6 or 5 mm, while diagonal cuts provide a final height of 6.5 mm. This configuration facilitates adaptation to the available interocclusal space while maintaining a precise and reproducible adjustment process. To promote mechanical retention of the restoration during cementation, ASCBase features retention grooves across its entire surface.
Available in a non-engaging version, with an RP platform diameter of 4.8 mm and a height of 0.3 mm above the Multi-Unit abutment platform, ASCBase compatible with Multi-Unit can be used for bridges and full-arch implant-supported restorations. This height is distinct from the gingival height of the abutment itself. Its integration with DESS® digital libraries for Exocad® and 3Shape® facilitates CAD/CAM design and manufacturing.
