Introduction ® Patient Specific Technologies Overview BellaTek® Encode® Impression System The BellaTek Encode Impression System eliminates the need for an implant-level impression while delivering a patient-specific restoration that has the appropriate margin height and natural emergence contours for the patient. This accuracy is achieved from an impression of the BellaTek Encode Healing Abutment. Codes embedded on the occlusal surface of the BellaTek Encode Healing Abutment communicate the collar height, implant hex-orientation, platform diameter and interface (the Certain® Internal Connection or External Hex Connection) of the implant. Because the tissue is healed at the time of impression, the margin is designed to have the appropriate placement and contour. The result is a patient specific, anatomically designed, final BellaTek Abutment. Available in titanium with or without titanium nitride coating. BellaTek Bars & Frameworks BellaTek Bars and Frameworks are created with the technology to achieve a truly passive fit. These are available in Hader and Dolder® Designs for overdenture bars, primary bars and in fixed hybrid designs. This technology does not require any wax or resin design from the technician. The bars can be made on most major dental implants and abutments. Because these are milled from one solid piece of lightweight titanium, the potential for weakness caused by soldering or laser welded joints is eliminated. You receive a completed superstructure ready for prosthesis processing. No polishing or retention creation necessary. can even tap holes for attachments. Copymilled Bars are also available for those who prefer to design a bar or framework in a resin pattern to the patient’s specifications. NOTE: Please ensure that as many implants as necessary are used for a fully stable restoration. iv
