SensAble Names Remedent and Precise Structures Milling as Its First SensAble Authorized Milling Center Partners

SensAble Technologies, Inc.(R), a leading provider of 3D
touch-enabled modeling solutions, dental CAD/CAM solutions and
haptic devices, has announced partnerships with key dental industry
players that will offer fabrication services for milled crowns and
bridges, in a variety of materials including zirconia, to SensAble
Dental Lab System owners. Partners include Remedent Inc. (OTCBB:
REMI), of Ghent, Belgium, an international leader in oral care and
cosmetic dentistry products; and Precise Structures Milling Center
of Laguna Hills, CA, which operates milling centers in Laguna Hills
and Oshawa, Ontario. These SensAble Authorized Milling Centers will
fabricate milled restorations directly from files created by the
SensAble Dental Lab System.
With demand for all-ceramic dental prosthetics growing at ten
times the rate of traditional materials(1), and over 72 percent of
dental lab owners citing an uptick in demand for zirconia-milled
restorations in the past two years(2), the establishment of
SensAble Authorized Milling Center partners gives dental labs even
more flexibility to choose the production approach that best suits
their needs. SensAble Dental Lab System customers will be able to
either print 3D resin parts for metal casting or ceramic pressing,
or now order milled substructures or ceramic overstructures from
SensAble Authorized Milling Centers.
"The growth in all-ceramic crown and bridge restorations is
driven by both patients' desire for enhanced esthetics and
dentists' awareness that dental CAD/CAM systems like the SensAble
Dental Lab System can produce superior fitting restorations," said
Cameron Karpowitz, president of Precise Structures Milling Center.
"We're pleased to offer our expertise in milling to SensAble's
customers, and know that they will get great results."
"We are excited to be the first SensAble Milling Center in
Europe and offer this service to SensAble Dental Lab customers,"
said Guy De Vreese, chief executive officer of Remedent. "We
currently mill veneers for our GlamSmile and Lumineer products, and
with our new milling system, we'll be able to offer fabrication in
a variety of materials, including zirconia, IPS e.max, cobalt
chrome, alumina and composite materials. This new service is a
natural extension of our partnership with SensAble."
"The SensAble Dental Lab System is already the most versatile
system available, and by adding an outsourcing fabrication option
for milled restorations through Remedent and Precise Structures
Milling Center, we're making sure our system provides the business
flexibility that dental labs need today," said Bob Steingart,
president of SensAble Dental Products. "And, our software's
flexibility makes it easy to design a full contour restoration in
minutes, and then generate a split file -- creating both an
anatomical substructure for milling and a resin pattern
overstructure for pressing. That type of productivity is what sets
the SensAble Dental Lab System apart."
Milling capabilities will be supported in the forthcoming
Release 3 of the SensAble Dental Lab System software, which is
scheduled for general availability at the end of April. Detailed
information on each milling center's capabilities and services is
available through SensAble's Authorized Milling Center partners,
Remedent and Precise Structures Milling Center.
About the SensAble Dental Lab System
The SensAble Dental Lab System is an integrated digital solution
to scan, design and fabricate common dental restorations. It is the
first integrated digital solution to support the production process
for removable partial frameworks, as well as full contour crown and
bridge. The system's unique 3D "Virtual Touch" stylus allows
technicians to digitally design multiple restoration types with
unmatched speed and precision -- while keeping the artistry and
manual dexterity they have spent years perfecting. In the SensAble
system, technicians hold a "haptic" (touch-enabled) device instead
of a computer mouse. They use virtual wax-up tools to literally
"feel" the on-screen model as they apply, smooth and carve "digital
wax." This touch-enabled approach mimics the traditional method of
hand modeling dental restorations -- yet adds the consistency,
precision and repeatability of a digital system.
