The 3Shape Dental System 2019 lab software package includes significantly enhanced solutions for designing and producing dentures, splints, and clear aligners as well as improvements to core workflows, according to the company. 

Advances in 3Shape’s denture design software as well as in materials and manufacturing make it highly profitable for labs to produce dentures digitally, the company says. New features like teeth-in-blocks, optimized try-in denture workflow, and improved TRIOS integration and alignment are designed to reduce labor time and production costs while improving efficiency.

Clear Aligner Studio enables labs to expand their offerings with clear aligners. The new version of Clear Aligner Studio brings 20% to 40% efficiency gains to the setup and staging of clear aligners with new automated features such as ID tagging, attachment sizing, and placement, 3Shape says.

Splint Studio is designed to enable labs to easily produce splints, night guards, protectors, and similar dental appliances with just a few clicks. The company notes that Splint Studio is not cleared by the Food and Drug Administration for clinical use in the United States. 

Plus, certified dental technicians Przemek Seweryniak and Kate Brantvik have created a complete set of new smile libraries for the 3Shape Dental System and Smile Design. The libraries are based on real smiles and are included in the corresponding coffee table book for patients and dental practices. Patients can leaf through the book and choose a desired smile. Labs then can create the restoration chosen from the book using the matching library in the Dental System.

Dental System 2019 is now up to 10 times faster to start new cases, reopen previously designed cases, and import and export material settings, 3Shape says. It offers design proposals with just one click, beautiful gingiva for implant bridges, and new superior function using the patient’s real jaw motion, 3Shape says.
