The Sirona Dental CAD/CAM System is intended for use in partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae in support of single or multiple-unit cement retained restorations. For the BH 3.0 S, SSO 3.5 L and S%L 3.3 L titanium bases, the indication is restricted to the replacement of single lateral incisors in the maxilla and lateral and central incisors in the mandible. The system consists of three major parts: TiBase, inCoris mesostructure, and CAD/CAM software. Specifically, the inCoris mesostructure and TiBase components make up a two-piece abutment which is used in conjunction with endosseous dental implants to restore the function and aesthetics in the oral cavity. The inCoris mesostructure may also be used in conjunction with the Camlog Titanium base CAD/CAM (types K2244.XXXX) (K083496) in the Camlog Implant System. The CAD/CAM software is intended to design and fabricate the inCoris mesostructure. The inCoris mesostructure and TiBase two-piece abutment is compatible with the following implant systems:
