Renishaw is now offering a compact milling system designed to complement its incise dental CAD/CAM system.
The new dental milling machine enables single copings or complex bridge frameworks to be manufactured from data obtained directly from the Renishaw dental scanner, according to the company. Renishaw's dental CAD software analyses this data and automatically determines a best-fit margin line and other parameters. The 3D computer model can then be fine-tuned by the technician if required before sending the data directly to the incise dental milling system, which machines the presintered zirconia.
Before firing the copings or bridge frameworks in a furnace, a color stain can be added to the zirconia to best match the patient's existing natural teeth, or they can be left as the original white.
