Full Arch over bar-Milling Service
The digital milling of a full arch in zirconia over a titanium bar, designed using exocad software, involves a precise manufacturing process. Here's a detailed description of the steps involved:
-
Design Verification:
- Begin by ensuring that the digital design of the full arch in zirconia over the titanium bar, created in exocad software, is accurate and meets all specifications.
-
Exporting Design Files:
- Export the finalized digital design files from exocad in a format compatible with the milling machine. Common formats include STL (Standard Tessellation Language).
-
Milling Machine Setup:
- Prepare the milling machine for the specific materials used (zirconia).
- Install appropriate milling burs for the milling process.
-
Material Loading:
- Load the zirconia into the milling machine, ensuring that they match the specifications of the digital design.
-
Calibration:
- Calibrate the milling machine to ensure accuracy during the milling process.
- Verify that the milling parameters are set according to the material characteristics and design requirements.
-
Milling of Zirconia Full Arch:
- Proceed with the milling of the zirconia full arch, taking into account the previously milled titanium bar.
- Utilize milling strategies that optimize efficiency and accuracy.
-
Quality Control for Zirconia Full Arch:
- Inspect the milled zirconia full arch for any discrepancies, ensuring that the anatomy, margins, and overall design match the digital model.
- Check for a precise fit with the titanium bar.
-
Post-Milling Processes:
- Perform any necessary post-milling processes, such as polishing or surface finishing, to achieve the desired final appearance and texture.
-
Final Quality Check:
- Conduct a final quality check to ensure that both the zirconia full arch meet the required standards.
- Address any issues identified during the quality check.
-
Delivery to the Dental Professional:
- Package the milled zirconia restoration for delivery to the dental professional for patient placement.
Collaboration between dental technicians, CAD/CAM specialists, and skilled operators of milling machines is essential to ensure the successful digital milling of a full arch in zirconia over a titanium bar. Strict adherence to design specifications and quality control measures contributes to the production of high-quality dental prosthetics.
