ASCBase features
ASCBase combines restorative versatility with a technical design that facilitates customisation for each prosthetic restoration. Unlike titanium bases with a fixed bonding post height, ASCBase allows different configurations to be selected and the height to be adjusted using predefined cuts, maintaining a controlled and reproducible procedure.
Its main features include:
- Manufactured from Grade V ELI 23 titanium, with a gold anodised finish.
- Customisable bonding post height, starting at 8 mm, with different cutting levels to suit the available interocclusal space.
- Straight and diagonal cutting grooves, allowing different heights and geometries of the titanium base’s upper surface to be selected according to the restorative requirements.
- A straight or angulated screw access channel up to 25°, allowing the emergence of the screw channel to be optimised.
- Retention grooves on the bonding surface, designed to promote mechanical retention between the titanium base and the restoration.
- Different gingival heights and non-engaging and engaging versions for single-unit and multi-unit restorations.
- Specific Multi-Unit solutions, with cutting heights adapted to full-arch restorations.
- Compatibility with DESS® digital libraries for Exocad® and 3Shape®, facilitating integration into CAD/CAM procedures.
Customisable bonding post height
One titanium base. Different heights for every restorative requirement.
The available interocclusal space is one of the factors that influence the design of implant-supported restorations. A fixed bonding post height can limit design options, particularly where occlusal space is restricted.
ASCBase allows the bonding post height to be adapted to the requirements of each case through a system of predefined cutting grooves. Starting from an initial height of 8 mm, it offers different reduction levels with both straight and diagonal cuts.
This feature allows the geometry of the titanium base to be adjusted without having to determine cutting levels manually, facilitating a precise and reproducible procedure.
What does the ASCBase cutting system offer?
Straight cuts: adaptation to the available space
Straight cuts allow the bonding post height to be reduced from 8 mm to 6 mm or 4 mm, providing different options for restorations with limited occlusal space.
Diagonal cuts: greater restorative versatility
Diagonal cuts provide heights of 7.5 mm or 5.5 mm, incorporating an inclined cutting geometry that broadens the options for adapting the titanium base to the conditions of the restoration.
Controlled and reproducible adjustment
The predefined cutting grooves make it easier to identify reduction levels and allow height adjustments to be made systematically and digitally, avoiding manual measurements and promoting consistent results.
| Configuration | Available heights |
|---|
| Initial height | 8 mm |
| Straight cuts | 6 and 4 mm |
| Diagonal cuts | 7.5 and 5.5 mm |
ASCBase for restorations on Multi-Unit abutments
A solution that adapts to each implant in full-arch restorations.
Full-arch implant-supported restorations have specific restorative requirements. Differences in implant depth, angulation and position may require different bonding post heights and screw access channel orientations within the same prosthetic restoration.
ASCBase has a specific configuration for Multi-Unit abutments that allows the height of each base to be customised and, where necessary, the screw access channel angulation to be corrected by up to 25°.
What does ASCBase offer for restorations on Multi-Unit abutments?
Different bonding post heights
The Multi-Unit version starts at a height of 8 mm, with straight cutting levels that allow it to be reduced to 7, 6 or 5 mm, as well as a diagonal cutting option at 6.5 mm.
Screw channel correction up to 25°
The option of using ASCBase with a straight or angulated screw channel allows the emergence of the screw access opening to be adapted to the requirements of each position within the restoration.
A specific design for Multi-Unit
The ASCBase version for Multi-Unit has a non-engaging RP platform of 4.8 mm, adapted to the requirements of multi-unit restorations, with bonding post heights achieved through straight and diagonal cuts.
The interface incorporates a gingival height of 0.3 mm above the Multi-Unit platform, distinct from the gingival height of the abutment itself.
Integration into the digital workflow
DESS® digital libraries allow the available ASCBase configurations to be incorporated into CAD/CAM design, facilitating the planning and manufacturing of full-arch restorations.
