Application scenarios of dental milling machines
(I) Crown production
Crowns are a common type of restoration in dental restorations, used to repair teeth that are severely decayed, defective, or have undergone root canal treatment. Dental milling machines can quickly and accurately produce personalized crowns to restore the shape and function of teeth while ensuring aesthetic effects.
(II) Bridge production
When a patient is missing one or more consecutive teeth, a bridge is an effective restoration method. Dental milling machines can accurately carve out the various parts of the bridge according to the patient's oral condition, ensuring that it is perfectly connected with adjacent teeth and gums, restoring chewing function and beauty.
(III) Veneer production
Dental veneers are a minimally invasive cosmetic restoration method suitable for situations such as abnormal tooth color and poor shape. Dental milling machines can produce veneers as thin as cicada wings, which fit on the surface of teeth to improve the appearance of teeth while maximally retaining natural tooth tissue.
(IV) Inlay and onlay production
Inlays and onlays are used to repair defects on the occlusal surface or multiple tooth surfaces of teeth. Dental milling machines can accurately carve out inlays according to the shape and size of tooth defects, restore the chewing function of teeth, and avoid the possible loss or wear of traditional filling materials.
Key points for choosing dental milling machines
(I) Accuracy
Accuracy is a key indicator for measuring the performance of dental milling machines. High-precision milling machines can produce restorations that fit the patient's mouth better and reduce the workload of subsequent adjustments. When choosing, you should pay attention to parameters such as the resolution and repeat positioning accuracy of the milling machine.
(II) Material compatibility
Different dental restoration materials have different physical properties such as hardness and brittleness, so the material compatibility of the milling machine is very important. Choosing a milling machine that is compatible with a variety of commonly used dental materials can meet the needs of different patients and improve the utilization rate of the equipment.
(III) Software functions
Dental milling machines are usually equipped with professional design software, and the functions of the software directly affect the design quality and production efficiency of the restoration. A good design software should have an intuitive operating interface, rich design templates, and powerful restoration design functions, which can help doctors complete the design work quickly and accurately.
(IV) Brand and after-sales service
Choosing products from well-known brands can ensure the quality and stability of the equipment. At the same time, perfect after-sales service is also very important. Various problems may be encountered during the use of the equipment. Timely technical support and maintenance services can ensure the normal operation of the equipment and reduce the impact of equipment failure on clinical work.
With the continuous advancement of science and technology, dental milling machines are also constantly developing and innovating. In the future, dental milling machines may develop in the direction of higher precision, faster speed and more intelligence. For example, combined with artificial intelligence technology, milling machines can automatically identify the characteristics of teeth and optimize the design of restorations; at the same time, advances in material science will also provide milling machines with more high-performance material options, further improving the quality and aesthetic effects of restorations.
