Big News: New ASC Premilled Blank Connections Are Coming to DESS!
If you’ve been loving the flexibility and freedom that DESS Angulated Screw Channel (ASC) Premilled Blanks bring to your workflow, we’ve got some exciting news.
We’re expanding our lineup with six brand-new connections which means even more ways to design, mill, and deliver beautiful, functional restorations without compromise.
Whether you’re a dental lab looking for design flexibility or a clinician aiming for flawless esthetics, these new ASC Premills will give you more options, smoother workflows, and happy patients. Because at the end of the day, it’s all about delivering exceptional results for every patient.
A Quick Refresher: What’s an ASC Premilled Blank?
Our Angulated Screw Channel Premilled Blanks are titanium blanks that let you mill your own custom abutments, but with a twist. Literally. Instead of a fixed screw access channel, ASC technology allows you to angle that channel up to 25° in any direction.
Why does that matter? Because it means you can move the screw access hole to a less visible location, improve emergence profile, and make the restoration look and feel more natural. For patients, it’s a better smile. For labs, it’s fewer compromises in design.
Each blank gives you:
- 360° freedom to position the screw channel
- 10 mm or 14 mm diameter options with a 20 mm millable length
- Titanium Grade 5 ELI for strength and precision
- A pull-down-and-lock holder system that keeps things secure while milling
- A prosthetic screw included, ready for our ASC screwdriver system
It’s all about giving you the control you need to make every case your best case.
The New Connections You’ve Been Waiting For
We’re adding six new implant interfaces to our Angulated Screw Channel Premill family:
- Straumann® BLX
- Neodent® Grand Morse
- Zimvie Screw-Vent®
- Astra Tech Implant System EV
- Osstem TS / Hiossen ET
- BioHorizons Internal HEX
That’s on top of the range of platforms we already support. This expansion means that more labs and clinicians can bring the benefits of ASC technology into their workflows without switching systems or sacrificing compatibility.
Why ASC Changes the Game
If you’ve ever had to place a screw access hole dead-center in the middle of an anterior crown, you know how frustrating it can be.
ASC technology solves that problem beautifully:
- Better Esthetics – Redirect the screw channel to a less visible spot, keeping the crown’s facial surface intact.
- More Design Freedom – Adjust up to 25° in any direction to accommodate challenging implant positions.
- Simplified CAD/CAM – No more reworking designs to fit awkward chimney angles—just set it where it works best.
- Easy Maintenance – Still fully retrievable, so repairs and adjustments stay stress-free.
In short, you can create abutments that look better, fit better, and make both you and your patients happier.
Pairing with MUA and MUA+
We’re also rolling out updates to our Multi-Unit Abutments and MUA+. They’re ideal for full-arch and multiple-unit restorations, giving you even more control over implant supported cases. And yes, our Angulated Screw Channel Premilled Blanks work seamlessly with both MUA and MUA+, keeping your workflow smooth from start to finish.
How This Plays Out in the Real World
Imagine this. A patient comes in with an implant placed at a tricky angle in the esthetic zone. With a standard abutment, you’d have no choice but to put that screw access right in the middle of their brand-new smile.
With an ASC Premilled Blank, you can:
- Select the new Straumann BLX ASC blank.
- Rotate the screw channel away from the visible area, within that full 360° range.
- Mill a custom abutment that fits perfectly and looks completely natural.
The result?
A restoration that’s strong, retrievable, and blends beautifully into the smile—without awkward compromises.
Why Labs and Clinicians Love ASC Premills
- Labs get design flexibility, fewer remakes, and faster turnaround.
- Clinicians get predictable results and easier seating.
- Patients get restorations that look like natural teeth.
It’s a win for everyone involved!
