ASCBase compatible with Straumann® BLX

One titanium base. Multiple restorative possibilities.

The DESS^® ASCBase range, compatible with Straumann^® BLX, offers a versatile solution that allows the titanium base to be adapted to the specific requirements of each cemented and screw-retained restoration on an implant.

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 6 or 4 mm, while diagonal cuts provide heights of 7.5 or 5.5 mm. This configuration facilitates adaptation to the available interocclusal space and helps compensate for implant angulation that produces an unfavourable emergence of the screw access channel, 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 gingival heights of 0.8, 1.5 and 2.5 mm and in engaging and non-engaging versions, ASCBase compatible with Straumann^® BLX can be used for single crowns, bridges and full-arch implant-supported restorations. Its integration with DESS^® digital libraries for Exocad^® and 3Shape^® facilitates CAD/CAM design and manufacturing.
