vhf camfacture AG and Ivoclar have announced that the company is now an official Ivoclar Authorized Milling Partner for the lithium disilicate ceramic IPS e.max CAD. This marks an expansion of the joint partnership with vhf being one of the first manufacturers to be certified as an Ivoclar Authorized Milling Partner for the Ivotion Denture System in February 2023.
The IPS e.max Authorized Milling Partner accolade represents a validated and optimally coordinated processing procedure between the material and the device. This seal of quality guarantees high-precision, high-quality restorations and has now been officially awarded to the German manufacturer. Its DENTALCAM 8.09 software update will be available in mid-March 2024, and the IPS e.max CAD for PrograMill in the company’s N4+ milling machine will be authorised for crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers and three-unit dental bridges up to the second premolar. vhf is also planning to obtain authorisation from Ivoclar for additional wet grinding machines in the near future.
“The collaboration between vhf and Ivoclar to achieve a successful validation reinforces the trust and certainty of users in the quality and precision of the vhf dental milling machines. The IPS e.max Authorized Milling Partner accolade is the official declaration that dental and practice laboratories can process IPS e.max CAD in an optimal procedure with vhf machines,” says Lucas Kehl, head of product at vhf camfacture AG.
As a manufacturer of modern dental milling machines, high-precision milling tools and associated CAM software, the N4+ is the bestseller from the its PERFORMANCE CLASS product line. The four-axis wet grinding machine has been demonstrating its strength as a partner for dental laboratories and practices since 2020. In early February 2024, the company updated the N4+ with a new machine design and users are reportedly impressed with the wet processing capabilities of the device.
“We are delighted to further expand our already very successful partnership with vhf. We share the high standards that we want to offer our customers at all times, along with the constant development of our products and workflows,” says Stefan Schulz, director global business unit clinical prosthetics at Ivoclar.
