Digital Technologies Part 2 Flashcards
most chairside milling machines are:
4 axis mill
most laboratory milling machines are:
5 axis mill
describe the 4 axis mill
- burs move in 3 axes X,Y and Z
- material/block rotates in 1 additional axis (3+1 milling machine)
- the addition of the 4th axis (A axis) allows the block to automatically rotate 180 degrees so that it can mill intricate details
describe the 5 axis mill
- the milling block is rotated in additional axes
- can mill complex designs such as implant superstructures, RPD frameworks, complete dentures
- the milling block is rotated in additional axes
- can mill more complex designs such as implant superstructures, RPD frameworks, dentures
what is the difference in speed between the 4 axis mill and the 5 axis mill
- 4 axis mill faster in single restorations
- 5 axis mill faster in multiple restorations
what is the difference in block size between the 4 axis mill and the 5 axis mill
- 4 axis mill: max 80 x 16mm
- 5 axis mill: 98.5 x 30 mm
what is the difference in undercuts between the 4 axis mill and the 5 axis mill
4 axis mill: disabled
- 5 axis mill: limited
what is the difference in indications between the 4 axis mill and the 5 axis mill
- 4 axis mill: crown and short FPD
- 5 axis mill: long FPD and dentures
accuracy and resolution is _____ related to the number of axes
not
what materials are used in a wet mill
-lidisilicate
- feldspathic porcelain
- Co-Cr metal
what materials are used in dry mill
- resins
- Zr
what materials are used in dry and wet mills
- Zr
- some metals such as titanium
- resins
the liquid in a wet mill is:
a combination of distilled H2O and another liquid (manufacturer specific)
describe the maintenance on dry and wet milling
- still required with a dry mill
- dry and wet mills can vary in the level of maintenance required and level of noise during operations
describe the functional movement of the bur
- bur movement is related to the tooth preparation
- successful tooth preparation is required for successfully milling
- bur dimensions influence the milling outcome
the margin of the restoration should be at least ____ of the width of the bur tip
1/2
