Dental Medicine – Materials for quick and cheap dentures

In the field of dental materials, the Fraunhofer ISC has many years of experience in implementing material developments into applications. With low-cost material alternatives and materials that can be processed directly in the dental practice, as well as new bioactive materials for age-appropriate dental care, we counter the cost pressure in health care and demographic development.

The new process developed by the Fraunhofer ISC creates the prerequisites for the fully automated production of high-quality composite blocks, from the raw material to saleable tooth blocks. The advantage of this process is that the individual steps are combined to form a continuous process without separate mixing units or manual shaping.

Learn more about the process in the corresponding press release (german).

Here you can read the article "New manufacturing process for CAD/CAM blocks - for a high-quality and cost-effective dental prosthesis" by Zahntechnik Magazine (March 2018), in which Dr. Herbert Wolter explains the new manufacturing process in more detail.
