Product Overview
When the Supporting Bar Becomes Part of the Full-Arch Form
A Blended I-Bar combines the supporting implant bar with the surrounding prosthetic form rather than treating the framework and overlying restoration as unrelated elements. The design must coordinate implant or multi-unit abutment positions, bar contour, restorative space, tissue support, hygiene access, screw channels, and the planned tooth and gingival arrangement.
SDS reviews the submitted records and develops each case through CAD design, manufacturing, finishing, and final quality control, with attention to component interfaces, framework continuity, prosthetic support, tissue clearance, cleansable contours, occlusal requirements, material thickness, and reliable seating.
Technical Notes
Blended I-Bar Lab Notes
Key details dental labs may need before sending Blended I-Bar cases to SDS for CAD design, full-arch implant bar workflow review, support structure planning, and production preparation.
Blended I-Bar Design Considerations
Blended I-Bar restorations are used in full-arch implant workflows where implant bar support, prosthetic space, tissue support, bar contour, cleanability, screw access direction, and occlusal planning need careful review. For dental labs, these cases often depend on accurate scan body data, implant or multi-unit abutment information, bite relationship records, tissue surface requirements, prosthetic design references, and clear lab-specific production instructions.
-
Implant position and multi-unit abutment information review before bar design.
-
Bar contour, support structure, and prosthetic space planning for full-arch workflows.
-
Tissue support, intaglio surface, and cleansable design review for implant bar cases.
-
Screw access direction and implant angulation review based on restoration requirements.
-
Occlusal scheme, bite relationship, and full-arch prosthetic setup review before production preparation.
-
3Shape, Exocad, and STL-based workflow support for Blended I-Bar full-arch implant cases.
Technical Details for Blended I-Bar Cases
| Restoration Type | Blended I-Bar restoration for full-arch implant bar-supported workflows. |
|---|---|
| Common Material | Lab-specified bar or framework material used for full-arch implant support workflows. Final material, connection design, support structure, prosthetic design, and production workflow should follow your lab’s implant system, material system, and case instructions. |
| Best-Fit Applications | Full-arch implant bar cases, bar-supported implant restorations, Blended I-Bar workflows, implant framework support cases, and dental lab workflows that require implant position review, prosthetic space planning, tissue support design, cleanability review, and occlusal scheme planning. |
| Files to Send | STL files, intraoral scan data, implant scan body files, implant or multi-unit abutment system information, bite records, vertical dimension records, prosthetic design references, tissue surface requirements, implant component details, facial reference photos when needed, and lab-specific Blended I-Bar design instructions. |
| CAD Workflow | SDS supports 3Shape, Exocad, and STL-based digital workflows for Blended I-Bar CAD design, implant bar workflow review, support structure planning, prosthetic space evaluation, tissue surface design, cleanability review, occlusal scheme review, and production-ready file preparation. |
| Design Inputs | Implant position, scan body data, multi-unit abutment information, screw access direction, bar contour preference, support structure requirement, prosthetic space, vertical dimension, bite relationship, tissue support, intaglio surface design, cleanability requirements, occlusal scheme, framework production instructions, and lab-specific case notes. |
| Production Notes | Production preparation can support bar or framework-related workflows, with review of support structure, fit, implant connection requirements, screw access direction, prosthetic space, tissue surface, cleanability, occlusion, and final full-arch implant bar workflow checks when required by the lab. |
Lab Partnership
Why Dental Labs Trust SDS
as a Behind-the-Scenes CAD Partner
SDS supports dental labs with CAD design and production preparation while protecting their workflow, customer relationships, and business confidentiality.
Clear Case Communication
We review case instructions, scan files, implant position data, multi-unit abutment information, bite records, prosthetic design references, tissue surface requirements, and production requirements before Blended I-Bar cases move into CAD design or production preparation.
Blended I-Bar WorkflowConsistent CAD Output
SDS helps labs maintain consistent implant bar workflow review, bar contour design, support structure planning, prosthetic space evaluation, tissue support, cleanability review, screw access direction, and occlusal scheme support across Blended I-Bar full-arch implant cases.
Implant Bar CAD SupportConfidential Lab Support
SDS works behind the scenes to help dental labs manage Blended I-Bar case volume, digital files, full-arch implant bar workflows, and production preparation without exposing their local customer relationships.
