STRONG RETENTION OF THE COPING ON THE ABUTMENT The Straumann® Variobase™ Abutment is equipped with the unique patented 2 engaging mechanism characterized by four cams. This unmatched Straumann design offers an extended bonding surface compared to cylindrical designs with the same diameter. The extra bonding surface supports strong hold for the dental cement.
A SIMPLE WAY TO ADD PROFIT TO YOUR BUSINESS GREAT FLEXIBILITY BY CHOOSING YOUR PREFERRED IN-LAB WORKFLOW You can use the Straumann® Variobase™ Abutment with the in-lab workflow of your choice, i.e. conventional wax-up for pressing or casting and in-lab milling. This way, each dental lab can work in its most cost-effective way to create high quality original Straumann® Customized Abutments.
ADDING EXTRA EFFICIENCY TO YOUR PROSTHETIC SOLUTION SIMPLE TO USE IN VARIOUS CAD SOFTWARES With the Variobase™ STL data available for various CAD softwares 3, the accurate coping geometry is simple to achieve. EASY TO USE WAX-UP PROCESS Precise burn-out copings facilitate an equally accurate wax-up for pressing and casting techniques.
SIMPLE BONDING PROCESS WITH EXACT SEATING Straumann’s patented 2 engaging mechanism allows exact seating of the coping on the Straumann® Variobase™ Abutment thanks to the four precisely engaging cams. This feature helps you reduce rotational misfit of the coping as compared to designs with one cam. SAVING TIME BY SKIPPING THE SANDBLASTING PROCESS With the strong and safe connection between the Straumann® Variobase™ Abutment and the coping provided by the patented 2 engaging mechanism, there is no need to sandblast the base prior to gluing. Skipping this process will save you time and reduce complexity.
