I. Working principle of dental milling machine
Dental milling machine is a precision equipment specially used for the production of dental restorations. It usually adopts computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technology. First, the doctor obtains the patient's three-dimensional tooth data through an intraoral scanner or a model scanner, and transmits it to the computer software for design. After the design is completed, the data will be sent to the milling machine. According to the instructions, the milling machine uses a high-speed rotating tool to accurately carve dental restoration materials (such as resin, ceramic, etc.), and finally produces crowns, bridges, veneers and other restorations that are completely consistent with the design.
II. Advantages of dental milling machine
(I) High precision
Dental milling machine can achieve micron-level carving accuracy to ensure that the restoration fits perfectly with the teeth and gums in the patient's mouth. This high-precision production method can effectively reduce the non-tightness of the restoration edge, reduce the risk of periodontal tissue inflammation, and extend the service life of the restoration.
(II) Efficient and fast
Traditional dental restoration production often requires patients to go back and forth to the hospital many times, and the production cycle is long. The emergence of dental milling machine has greatly shortened this process. From design to carving, it usually takes only a few hours. Patients can get restorations in a short time, reducing waiting time and improving the treatment experience.
(III) Material diversity
Dental milling machines are compatible with a variety of dental restoration materials, including resins, ceramics, zirconium oxide, etc. Different materials have different performance characteristics. Doctors can choose suitable materials according to the specific conditions and needs of patients and provide patients with personalized restoration plans.
(IV) Good aesthetic effect
In dental restoration, aesthetic effect is an aspect that patients are very concerned about. Dental milling machines can produce restorations that are highly similar to natural teeth based on the patient's tooth color, shape and other characteristics. Whether it is the color level of the crown or the morphological details of the teeth, they can be perfectly presented through the fine processing of the milling machine to meet the patient's requirements for beauty.
As an important equipment in the field of modern dental restoration, dental milling machines provide strong technical support for dentists with their high precision, high efficiency and diversity, and also bring patients a better treatment experience. With the continuous development of technology and the continuous expansion of applications, dental milling machines will play an increasingly important role in dental clinics and promote dental restoration technology to a new height.
