Titanium has been successfully used for many years in medicine as well as in dental implant surgery. It is considered one of the most health-friendly materials that exists. This is due to its corrosion resistance and the naturally emerging oxide layer on the surface which favours the solid growth of bone onto the implant (i.e. osseointegration).
For the CAD/CAM manufacturing of primary structures made of titanium, Zirkonzahn now offers Titan 5 ASTM standardized titanium blanks with a degree of hardness of 5 and in seven different heights (10-25 mm). The range of possible applications comprises any kind of metal primary structures and restorations, from single crowns to 14-unit bridges. Thanks to its high degree of hardness, bar and implant constructions can now be created with Zirkonzahn Titan 5.
The Zirkonzahn titanium blanks can be processed with the milling units M1 Wet Heavy, M4 and M5 and they can be veneered with all commercially available titanium ceramics. The milling procedure of a single unit takes from 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the milling unit used.
