WHY TRINIA®? Dentists and technicians are seeking alternatives to metal substructures with improved clinical capabilities. TRINIA™ is today’s CAD/CAM solution for metal-free restorations.
ONLY TRINIA®
- Biocompatible and metal-free
- Modifiable and repairable
- Lightweight and flexible
- No firing required
- Provides for longer distal extensions
- By definition, cannot be a cantilever due to its flexibility

Clinical Use and Applications
TRINIA CAD/CAM discs and blocks are composed of a multi-directional interlacing of fiberglass and resin in several layers. TRINIA is intended to be used by dental technicians and dentists for making copings, substructures or frameworks for permanent and transitional anterior or posterior crowns, bridgework, and substructures that can be either cemented or uncemented restorations, such as telescopic restorations.
Technical Data
In order to meet the broad indications of clinical use, TRINIA was designed with the appropriate mechanical suitability as well as appropriate aesthetic characteristics. The resulting product has high flexural and compressive strength.
CAD/CAM Recommendations
TRINIA is available in 98mm circular discs, and 40mm and 55mm blocks. TRINIA can be milled on most leading wet or dry milling systems following the appropriate milling strategies. The usage of nano-diamond burs is essential for successful milling.
• Eclipse design for bars
• Minimum 0.7mm wall thickness
• Minimum 7.0mm2 connector
• Maximum 15mm cantilever

TRINIA® EPC Blocks differ from standard TRINIA® blocks only in the orientation of their fiber sheets. For maximum strength of the post and core, the post design must be parallel to the direction of the fibers. Since certain software programs cannot rotate the block, the overall length of the post and core will determine which TRINIA® block to use. Use a TRINIA® EPC block for endodontic post and core restorations under 15mm and a standard TRINIA® block for restorations over 15mm to ensure alignment with the block’s fiber orientation.
• Efficient and effective chairside digital fabrication of endodontic post and core restorations
• TRINIA® restorations have a similar modulus of elasticity to dentin
• The post and core restoration does not have an interface, since it is milled from one material
• If two restorations are milled together, eight post and core restorations can be milled from one block
Video - My Journey from Augmentation to TRINIA®, a Non-Rigid Metal-Free CAD/CAM Material

Join Rolf Ewers, MD, DMD, Ph.D. on his journey with TRINIA®, a fiber-reinforced resin CAD/CAM material, as his views evolved over time — from using and enjoying multiple bone grafting techniques to avoiding grafting completely by using a non-rigid material and shorter implants. He examines how TRINIA® can further expand the clinical capabilities of Bicon SHORT® Implants — on four, three, and even one implant. After nine years of real-world experience and multiple long-term clinical studies, Prof. DDr. Ewers concludes that “less is more”!
