DESCRIPTION

Statement of need Ivoclar Programill PM7 Brand Name or Equal

1. Background The Pittsburgh VAMC Dental Clinic requires two new PrograMill PM7 System, PrograMill Base Set, PrograMill PC, Widescreen Monitor, keyboard, and PrograMIll RFID-Reader brand name or equal dental milling machines and accessories. These systems are an indispensable part of a time-sensitive transition from artisan-dependent prosthesis fabrication to computer-aided prosthesis fabrication within the dental clinic and implementation of this transition within the next year will be necessary to avoid major reductions in treatment capacity

2. Project Scope The Pittsburgh VA is transitioning from artisan-dependent prosthesis fabrication to computer-aided prosthesis fabrication within the Dental Clinic and implementation of this transition within the end of the year will be necessary to avoid major reductions in treatment capacity. The PrograMill PM7 or an equal milling machine has to be compatible with the 3Shape Complete Restorative digital dental software that Pittsburgh is using to keep this service in-house.

The PrograMill’s front panel has a visual user interface. Pittsburgh’s Dental Clinic uses e.max ceramic that Ivoclar manufcatures, and only a handful of mills are certified by Ivoclar to machine this material. Our in-house dental lab stocks Ivoclar’s Ivocolor and e.max Ceram, which are supplemental Ivoclar ceramic materials used to color and add to Ivoclar ceramics. The Dental Clinic intends on milling ceramics made by Ivoclar such as ZirCAD Prime Zirconia, the use of the PM7 mill along with the pre-existing and planned Ivoclar ceramic products ensures that we are using compatible materials. This enables them to get meaningful support from Ivoclar if there is an issue in the chain of materials.
