Zerkon Zahn Zerkograph

Hello,

 

I was at the Chicago mid winter. I took in the Spectrum Dialog meeting and some of the lab day lectures. I was especially interested in the ZirconZahn copy milling machine.

 

I am a small high end lab and this machine has endless possibilities. I was quite surprised with the quality, precision and the positive response of  people who were familiar with it. I briefly spoke with Ernst Hegenbarth and he validated the company.

 

Anyone have any input on this?   Cheer! Alan

there are plenty of guys selling these MAD/MAM machines since the coping business is completely commoditized and it is more effective to get a 3shape scanner or dental wings and designed things virtually plus to make zirconia substructures this is well suited for this but bear in mind the amount of time and touch required vs. what these 3d scanner manufacturers have and will be coming out that will commoditize the zirconia and titanium custom abutment market even further.

Keith,
Does MAD/MAM not exceed CAD/CAM in versitility at this point. I am thinking about full contour, fullarch,lingual retaining screws , over bars etc.,Complicated multipart stuff.

How soon untill the scanners and milling centers can handle the most creative complex designs?

Not only does the human being you smile at feel good but you by your own person sense in a superior way, glad, but most people hide that smile because they mixed up  by it due to having arranged in an improper teeth or gaps between their teeth and similar problems now we all know that braces can fix this problem but…See More
