The TriLor Arch comes in prefabricated arch shapes in 3.5, 5.5, and 7.5-mm thicknesses. The Arch can be designed and fabricated at the bench in less than 30 minutes with a handpiece or lathe, allowing the technician full control of the design and providing significant time and cost savings over traditional metal implant suprastructures. The bone-colored, fiber-reinforced Arch forms a covalent bond to acrylic or composite veneering material, providing a strong, lightweight, and esthetic restoration.
