Dental Wings introduced the second generation Dental Wings Lasermill, a revolutionary dental CAD/CAM production technology, at the International Dental Show in Cologne, Germany, March 21-25.
The Dental Wings Lasermill establishes a new category of dental production technology, offering unprecedented opportunities for dental clinics, labs and production centers to create restorations, using a wide range of proven materials, for unsurpassed quality and ease-of-use.
“Dental Wings has continued to develop and refine the Lasermill technology to improve performance in all meaningful metrics. I am continuously impressed by the resolution, precision, and simplicity of our Lasermill. We are starting to change the game and look forward to even bigger leaps in capability in the future.”
– Mike Rynerson, CEO Dental Wings
Laser Milling of Dental Restorations
The Dental Wings Lasermill system utilizes millions of short, high-intensity laser pulses to remove small amounts of material from a standard block until the restoration is completed.
The extremely small laser spot size allows a resolution more than 10X higher than traditional CNC mills, resulting in extremely life-like restorations.
The Dental Wings Lasermill reduces the cost and variability of in-office production of high-quality restorations by eliminating cutting tools, coolants, and complex setups. Moreover, the Lasermill has an integrated 3D scanner to perform in-process quality control, unlike traditional CNC mills which require downstream manual quality control measurements.
A complete chairside solution with the Dental Wings Intraoral Scanner, DWOS Chairside and Lasermill offers unprecedented capabilities and simplicity for the dental practice. As an open system, the Dental Wings Lasermill can also be connected with other open scanning and design solutions.
VITA ENAMIC® – Now approved for use on the Dental Wings Lasermill
Now approved for clinical use on the Dental Wings Lasermill, the hybrid ceramic VITA ENAMIC® is available in several shades and levels of translucency.
“VITA, as a pioneer in the field of dental CAD/CAM materials, is always interested in new technologies and cooperating with innovative partners like Dental Wings. The combination of Dental Wings Lasermill technology with our hybrid ceramic VITA ENAMIC allows dental practitioners to create precise and thin restorations to support minimally invasive therapy concepts.”
– Patrick Bayer, Head of Cooperation Mgmt, VITA Zahnfabrik
Other composite and ceramic materials such as fully crystallized lithium disilicate can be processed with the Dental Wings Lasermill. Information on these materials will be provided as it becomes available.
