Renishaw introduced its new Incise laboratory mill at the Dental Showcase exhibition held recently in Birmingham, UK.
The system allows labs to produce high quality zirconia frameworks at prices well below current market norms, according to Renishaw.
“Renishaw is the world’s largest supplier of in-lab dental CAD/CAM scanning machines, and because we also manufacture our new compact milling machine we can offer incredibly competitive pricing to laboratories who are either looking to produce zirconia restorations in-house, or have frameworks supplied through our central manufacturing facility,” said Gareth Tomkinson, the company's UK dental sales development manager.
The new mill can produce single copings, custom abutments and bridge frameworks of up to 8 units in size, with further developments available early in 2010, Renishaw said.
Before the final sintering in a furnace, a color stain can be added to the copings or bridge frameworks to match a patient’s teeth, or left as the original white color.
