Digital perspectives in dental technology

Dear customers and friends of Wieland,

We hope that you were able to use the calm of the summer months to replenish

energy, creativity and enthusiasm and that you can now confront the challenges of

business life with renewed vigor. And from the word go, we at Wieland would like to

inspire you with our magazine, Wieland direct and update you on the latest creative

solutions.

The subject of digitization continues to be a focus of attention and in our industry,

the term ‚digital‘ is often equated with change. In other sectors, digital has long

since become the norm and is an everyday fact of life. This will soon be the case in

our sphere, too and it will no longer be necessary to emphasize the ‚digital‘ aspect

of our work.

On the occasion of the recent IDS 2011 trade fair, we presented a further advance

in digitization, „the monolithic dental restoration“. Our Zenostar concept has not

only been welcomed with enthusiasm by our already digitally-minded customers

but also attracted the attention of and awakened interest in many new customers.

This means that we have succeed in establishing for ourselves a worldwide

reputation for esthetic all-zirconia restorations and the technological equipment

required to manufacture them. In the form of the Zenotec Sci.ence platform, we

have set up and firmly consolidated a service for special indications for the benefit

of our customers. In addition to the commercial success of decentralized laboratory

solutions such as the Zenotec Mini and Zenostar, this enables extremely complex

technical solutions such as customized titanium abutments and implant-borne

superstructures to be ordered. The digital process still has a long way to go. Intra-oral

scanners are gaining ground. Our first ventures into this area are very promising indeed

– above all in the context of Zenostar restorations which for the most part no longer

require the use of dental models.

At the beginning of the year we set new standards and invested in one of the

latest generation of heavy-duty presses. This hydraulic press weighing over 20 metric

tons has been optimized for the production of zirconia blanks and is currently

just about the world‘s strongest axial press in use in the dental sector. The extreme

pressure exerted by this machine ensures that the ceramic powder is densely

compacted and very homogeneous, thus producing blanks of the highest quality.

This is how we rise to the challenges set by our customers who are always ready to

provide us with constructive, sometimes critical appraisals and inspire us to press ahead

with a process of constant improvement and development. For this, we are extremely

grateful and are committed to honoring this trust by delivering further innovations.

Sincerely

Torsten Schwafert

Greater flexibility through the use of the Zenotec Trios intra-oral scannerDigital imaging makes dental technology even more flexible

Over the last few years the use of model scanners has made dental technology more and more efficient. There is no longer

any need to discuss the time savings and resultant cost savings when compared to conventional dental technology. This has

been borne out by a number of different studies and independent experience in the lab. Instead, attention has been focused on

obtaining greater added value from new types of scanners, software add-ons, production systems and new materials.

The Zenotec Trios obtainable from Wieland Dental when used in conjunction with the Zenostar concept gives the dental lab yet

another way to offer digitally manufactured dental restorations.

A digital opportunity for the dental lab:

Zenotec Trios intra-oral scanner in conjunction with Zenostar crowns

At the touch of a button, the preparation digitized using the Zenotec Trios scanner is transmitted as a digital file to the dental lab

in the form of a complete dental situation, i.e. including adjacent and opposing teeth and bite registration. The image data is

available to the dental lab almost in real time and work can begin on the design using existing modellation software. It is possible to

begin creating the dental restoration before the patient in question has even left the chair. Dispatching by courier, casting the

impressions and articulating the models have already been achieved digitally. The occlusion of the Zenostar restoration is adjusted

in the software using the virtual articulator without the need for a model. Once the design is complete, it can, if necessary, be

validated by the clinician. Then the lab exports the digital file of the Zenostar crown to its own milling machine or to a milling center.

The Zenotec Trios intra-oral scanner completes the digital workflow, i.e. from impression taking through transfer of digital data and modellation with articulation to the subsequent validation of the design by the dental practitioner.

The Zenostar materials available for selection are Zenostar Zr Translucent milling blanks in the shades pure, light, medium, intense,

sun and sun chroma, which can be individualized by using stains from the Zenostar Art Focus / Complete module sets or veneered

with Zenoflex dimension. Above all, the warm, reddish shade of the Zenostar Zr Translucent blanks in the shades sun and sun

chroma, which have been available since this summer, are especially suitable for use as a basis for restorations with

individualized shading and can therefore be used for patients whose natural tooth shade deviates from the classical shades. This

translucent zirconia material can be used both for making frameworks and for the CAD/CAM production of monolithic restorations.

Conclusion: the Zenostar concept in conjunction with the Zenotec Trios

Using the Zenotec Trios intra-oral scanner together with Zenostar products gives you the utmost in patient satisfaction,

cost-effectiveness and flexibility.

Patient satisfaction:

� Intra-oral scan can be interrupted and resumed at any time

�White, full-contour restorations with top esthetics

Cost-effectiveness:

�No need to scan a separate model

�No models

�No shipping by courier

Flexibility:

�The treatment concept can be extended

The highly translucent Zenostar Zr Translucent blanks in the shades pure, light, medium and intense.

The Zenostar Zr Translucent sun and sun chroma blanks feature a warm, reddish basic shade.

With the Zenostar Art Module Focus or Complete you can obtain fascinating results.

In some situations, a working model is essential. For the CAD/CAM production of models when using the new Zenotec Trios

intra-oral scanner, Wieland therefore offers robust and unbreakable 25 mm Zenotec model blanks. They are made of polyurethane

plastic and can be milled into models with the Zenotec T1 and the Zenotec mini from Wieland. The high density and homogeneity

of this material ensure a smooth and even surface quality, making the blanks easy to mill whilst the uniformity of the material

chips makes milling gentle on the extractor system.

Milling without a model is as easy as it could be: Trim the intra-oral scan. / Define the occlusal plane. / Trim the scan of the opposing teeth. / Adjust the occlusal plane, if not correctly scanned. / Select the stumps and define their prep margins. The dies are then generated. / Select the Zenotec articulator, <3Shape Quadrant>. / The models of the die and the opposing teeth are generated. / Design the restoration in DentalDesigner™.

Wieland Dental sets new quality standards for blanksOptimized production process ensures maximum values for strength and translucence

A great deal of expertise is required to produce zirconia blanks for the fabrication of dental restorations. Both the

selection of a high-quality, high-purity raw material powder and the use of optimized processing techniques and

parameters during the compacting, thermal debinding and pre-sintering of the pressed blanks have a significant

effect on the properties of the end product. Scrupulous quality assurance measures before and after each stage of

the process ensure that the user and the patient receive a safe, reliable and biocompatible medical product which

remains stable over a long period of time.

By using what is probably the most modern press in the dental field, Wieland produces blanks of outstanding quality. The extremely highpressure used ensures that the powder is highly compacted and homogeneous.

The optimized axial compaction process using a high-power press

which is unique in the dental industry delivers excellent results

Wieland has invested in the latest generation of automated high-performance presses. This heavy-duty hydraulic press weighing

over 20 t has been optimized for the manufacture of zirconia blanks, is one of the most powerful presses in use in the dental

industry. However, sheer power alone is not enough to meet the most stringent quality requirements. In order to achieve especially

homogeneous compaction, the pressure is applied evenly to both sides of the ceramic powder, whereby the two dies are

controlled independently of each other and with the greatest possible precision.

In the so-called axial pressing process, the powder is poured from a feeder into the gap between the mold and the lower die of

the tool and is then pressed into the required shape. In the wet bag CIP (cold isostatic pressing) process, however, pressure is

applied to all sides of a rubber mold filled with granulate. In this case, the pressed items must be finished after compacting, since

the elastic mold can not create a clearly defined shape. But nowadays these two processes can be combined; for example, when

the compaction pressure achieved by the axial press is not great enough to obtain the density required for the green blank, the

work can subsequently be compacted even further in a second, isostatic pressing process.

History of the Wieland compaction process reveals impressive development

Further advances in the areas of strength and translucence

That little extra: each blank is individually measuredUnlike many competitors, Wieland weighs and measures each and every blank. Then an individual label is applied to the

blank specifying the exact expansion or shrinkage factor (accurate to four decimal places). This means that a perfect fit can

be achieved.

The result: patented ceramic blanks in high-end qualit

The graphs above clearly show that it is not just the compaction technology but the entire coordinated and optimized process

chain which is responsible for delivering the quality of the end product. The really impressive features of the Wieland blanks

are their high strength and translucence (Zenostar) and the excellent fit achieved by labeling each blank with its individual

expansion factor. Wieland is the hallmark of outstanding quality and provides you with a service that is second to none in

the area of quality control. Discover for yourself the quality of Zenostar and the laboratory concepts behind the name.

The positive development achieved in terms of light transmission (the measure of how translucent the material is) from 2005 to 2012 is an impressive indication that optimizing the raw material powder and the compaction technology / parameters has enabled an increase in light transmission of over 60 % to be achieved. The high translucence is also an indicator of lower residual porosity and consequently of a higher density in the final product. And when compared to the translucent materials of competitors, Zenostar Zr Translucent is truly impressive.

Progress Competitors

By optimizing the raw materials and process parameters, it has also proved possible to increase the flexural strength of the zirconia blanks by approx. 40 % since they were introduced in 2005. In order to achieve high strength values, it is necessary to obtain a virtually flawless and non-porous structure. A comparison with competitors‘ blanks reveals the high material quality of the Zenostar Zr Translucent blanks.

Zenostar Zr Translucent sun & sun chroma combine top

esthetics with time-saving and cost-effective laboratory

processes. This highly translucent material is especially

suitable for fabricating monolithic restorations. Thanks to

a new shading system, this system can be used to make

full-contour zirconia restorations and frameworks for

veneered restorations with excellent esthetic properties.

The distinguishing feature of these two new blanks is

their warm, natural shade. This makes them highly

suitable for making dental restorations with individual

shade nuances, above all for patients whose natural tooth

shade differs from the 16 classical V-shades.
