EXOCAD'S NEW PARTIALCAD 3.3 CHEMNITZ INTRODUCES A SPLIT DENTURE WORKFLOW

exocad announced the release of PartialCAD 3.3 Chemnitz, the latest version of its software for the design of high-quality removable partial dentures. The new split denture feature* allows dental professionals to design an implant-based suprastructure in DentalCAD and generate a precisely fitting underlying bar in PartialCAD with just a few clicks. A guided, automated workflow helps to accurately split an All-on-X design, while a manual mode allows for further customization. This new feature is geared toward PartialCAD users or those with no extensive experience with the exocad Bar Module and is suited to labs desiring high productivity through standardized designs and automated workflows. PartialCAD now supports split denture workflows, combining voxel-based, parametric design with robust geometry handling to support consistent processing and reliable manufacturing of complex cases. Split parameters can be saved and reused across future cases, enabling efficient workflows while preserving individual design preferences. Additional information is available at exocad.com/our-products/partialcad-chemnitz.

3Shape Boosts Dental Lab Speed and Accuracy with AI-Powered Workflows

At LMT LabDay, 3Shape showcased its AI-powered and integrated workflows that help dental labs work faster, reduce errors, and handle more cases efficiently. Scans from intraoral scanners can sometimes include missing or inaccurate bite data. To save them time and eliminate their need for manual adjustment of missing jaw relationship data, 3Shape Dental System 2025 has introduced AI-bite alignment. The AI bite alignment tool analyzes dental arches in the scans and places them in a static occlusion based on anatomical norms and its trained models. 3Shape Dental System 2025 also leverages AI for tooth outlining and margin line detection in its copy denture workflow. Dental System 2025 users can also take advantage of free AI-powered bridge design proposals to maximize their productivity and manage peak loads more effectively. 3Shape has updated its LMS software with an enhanced native integration with Dental System and 3Shape TRIOS intraoral scanners and released a new version of 3Shape Implant Studio with simplified workflows for full-arch restorative planning.

The Argen Corporation Releases ArgenZ® GT: Gradient Translucent Zirconia Combining Superior Strength with Natural Esthetics 

Argen Corporation announced the launch of ArgenZ GT, a gradient translucent zirconia that offers laboratories a universal solution for all restoration types. Debuting at LMT® Lab Day Chicago, ArgenZ GT is built with Argen's patented Smart Gradient™ technology, eliminating the need to stock multiple zirconia materials. ArgenZ GT solves critical challenges that have prevented multi-material zirconia from becoming true universal solutions. The patented Smart Gradient™ technology eliminates visible transition lines that compromise esthetics while delivering a complete strength gradient: 1250 MPa in the gingival zone, 1250 MPa in the middle zone, over 1000 MPa in the transitional incisal zone, 850 MPa in the incisal zone. Lack of strength in the critical connector zones is where other gradient materials often fail. By maintaining 1250 MPa in the critical connector zones while achieving 45-50% translucency with seamless transitions and micro mamelon effects, ArgenZ GT addresses the longstanding tradeoff between strength and esthetics. ArgenZ GT will be available for order beginning March 31, 2025, in the fastest-moving SKUs and thicknesses. Dental laboratories can request a complimentary sample disc by visiting https://info.argen.com/argenzgt.

Dentsply Sirona and Dreve Advance Clinical Evaluation of Primeprint Direct Aligner Resin

Dentsply Sirona and Dreve announced progress on the evaluation of Primeprint Direct Aligner resin, a Dreve material that has received FDA clearance and is specifically tied to Dentsply Sirona’s Primeprint 3D printing system. While not yet commercially available, preclinical evaluations conducted in collaboration with the University of Ulm have indicated promising material characteristics of Primeprint Direct Aligner resin. Building on these initial promising findings from the University of Ulm, the two companies are now advancing with a series of in vitro and in vivo study designs. These efforts are intended to further validate the early results and support the continued development of the technology.

Leixir Dental Lab Group and Bite-Finder AG Partner to Advance Digital Precision 

Bite-Finder AG announced a strategic partnership with Leixir Dental Laboratory Group, a global network provider of dental excellence. The partnership brings together advanced digital bite intelligence and large-scale laboratory expertise to improve clinical accuracy, laboratory efficiency, and patient outcomes. Under the agreement, Bite-Finder AG will integrate its bite analysis technology into Leixir Dental Lab Group’s laboratory workflows, enabling more precise case planning, reduced remakes, and improve communication between clinics and labs, ensuring rapid adoption and real-world impact across multiple markets. The worldwide partnership officially launched in January 2026 directly addresses a long-standing challenge in restorative and prosthetic dentistry: the disconnect between clinical bite registration and laboratory execution. By combining an AI-based occlusion solution with high-quality lab manufacturing, the partnership creates a more predictable, efficient, and scalable digital workflow—benefiting dentists, lab technicians, and patients alike.
