The patented BellaTek® Encode® impression system of Zimmer Biomet offers a gingiva former, serving as scanbody at the same time. Thus, frequent Abutment changes are prevented and working steps in the practice are reduced. This digital impression is suitable for the transmission of the implant position, orientation and height.

After data transmission to a Zfx partner laboratory, the abutment and crown are designed through the use of a special software feature (Zfx™ Encode® Converter). The manufacturing is carried out at a Zfx™ Milling Center or in an authorized milling lab. Only a single abutment change is done within the complete workflow.
