Straumann CARES Visual/Nova Implant-borne CAD
The Straumann CARES Visual/Nova Implant-borne CAD software are indicated for the design of two-piece or one-piece abutment components for 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 and CAD software. The system is used to design two-piece abutment CAD/CAM milled copings, crown and bridge restorations to be cemented onto Ti-bases, customized one-piece abutments and bridges/bars to be affixed to the endosseous dental implants using a basal screw. The use of the software requires the user to have the necessary training and domain knowledge in the practice of prosthetic design, as well as training in the use of the software.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
