SLM Printed Cobalt-Chrome Dental Implant Bars

Precision implant-supported prosthetic frameworks with superior strength and biocompatibility

Our Selective Laser Melting (SLM) printed cobalt-chrome implant bars provide exceptional accuracy, strength, and durability for implant-retained overdentures and fixed hybrid prostheses. Fabricated directly from your digital design files using advanced metal additive manufacturing technology. 

SLM printed CoCr bar, for fixture to the patient’s implants, compatible with cobalt-chrome or zirconia rider superstructures. No limitation to the number of implants, type or angulation.

Applications

• Implant-Retained Overdentures - Secure bar-clip and locator attachment systems for full-arch removable prostheses
• All-on-4/All-on-6 Frameworks - Fixed hybrid prosthetic substructures for full-arch rehabilitation
• Multi-Unit Implant Bars - Custom bar designs for 2-6 implant configurations
• Screw-Retained Prostheses - Precision frameworks for cement-free restorations
• Combination Cases - Bar and telescope designs for complex rehabilitation
• Immediate Loading Protocols - Temporary and definitive bar frameworks
