Relaunch of Temporary Cylinders

We are expanding the line of temporary cylinders that we have available. We are also offering an expanded line of non engaging platforms as well. In order to see what we have available, please refer to the chart below. 

Abutment & Crown Split File Design Parameters

What's New?

Nobel Replace Compatible Product Processing Using Swiss-Turn Technology

In a very important announcement, CreoDent is also beginning fabrication of its Nobel Replace line of products with Swiss-Turning CNC. In doing so, our Nobel Replace line will provide a more consistent and more accurate fit for abutment and crown related cases.

In comparison with pre-fabricated blank milling, Swiss-Turning technology offers a much more precise milling strategy as the interface and body of abutment are milled without sprue. The prefabricated blanks are milled with the sprues attached which require extra steps to cut, shape and polish. It is also because of these extra steps, that the blank milled abutment cases become unusable for split file milling. This is because the final product may be slightly different from the intended design from the modifications done by hand. The Swiss-Turning CNC milling strategy however, is able to support split file milling because it does not require the hand modifications. In short, the Swiss-Turning CNC milling strategy offers a more accurate, higher quality product.

After milling from a blank, manual finishing and polishing is required. Because of this, split file milling is not available.

Right after Swiss Turn Milling, no manual finishing & polishing is required.

Understanding Material Properties PART 2 – Lithium Disilicate

Due to its esthetic appearance and favorable mechanical properties, dental ceramics have become the material choice in restoring partial loss of the coronal tooth structure. Ceramics can be categorized based on their compositions into poly crystalline, crystalline base with glass fillers, glass-based crystalline fillers and glass based ceramics. Incorporating crystals in ceramics enhances the mechanical properties while the glass matrix improves overall esthetics.
