 New Dental Product: Viteo Base from Ivoclar Vivadent

Ivoclar Vivadent recently released Viteo Base, a titanium base designed for implant-supported single-tooth restorations.

The base is especially suited for materials processed with CAD/CAM and press technology such as IPS e.max and Telio CAD, according to a press release. The bonding surface with recessed rotation protection is characterized by a “soft edge” design. The base provides optimum support for CAD/CAM processed or pressed all-ceramic materials. The abutment height can be shortened to suit individual situations. It is compatible with most popular implant systems.

The rounded design of the bonding surface without any edges and rotation pins ensures an even distribution of forces. Tensile and compressive stress is homogeneously distributed throughout the entire titanium base. This means there is less stress on the restoration and the risk of fractures is reduced. 

Frequently, implants are inserted on the bone level so the vertical distance to antagonist is increased. In such cases the long abutment height of the Viteo Base provides support for the restorative material. If the vertical distance is smaller, a shorter abutment height can be advantageous. The height of Viteo Base can be reduced from 6 to 4 millimeters. A laser marking on the abutment indicates the minimum height.

Sandblasted surfaces and a suitable bonding system enable a sound bond between the titanium base and the restorative material to be achieved. The bonding surface of Viteo Base is industrially preconditioned. This saves time and prevents damage to the implant interface. A homogeneous surface, in combination with the suitable cement (Multilink Hybrid Abutment), ensures reliable, gap-free bonding.
