## Indications for use
The Straumann CARES P-Series CAD/CAM System is indicated for the design and fabrication of single or multiple-unit implant-borne prosthetics for the restoration of partially or fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae. The system integrates multiple components of the digital dentistry workflow: scan files from Intra-Oral Scanners or Extra-Oral Scanners, CAD software, CAM software, a restorative acrylic resin, 3D printers, post-curing unit and associated accessories. The system is used to design and fabricate CAD/CAM 3D printed coping, crown and bridge restorations to be cemented onto Straumann® Variobase® Abutments, that are affixed to the endosseous dental implants of the Straumann ® Dental Implant System using a basal screw. The Straumann P pro Crown & Bridge material in combination with the Straumann Variobase is indicated for temporary (up to 180 days) dental restoration of a Straumann dental implant.
