Dental Titanium: precision and biocompatibility in dental technology
It has always been difficult to process titanium using conventional casting methods, as titanium reacts quickly and is prone to shrinkage cavities and oxidation. These problems made casting titanium costly and risky, which severely limited its use in dental technology.
CADdent successfully overcame these challenges back in 2014 with the introduction of LaserMelting technology. The process enables precise and homogeneous processing of titanium, making optimum use of the material's properties. Digital manufacturing produces highly precise and customized dental prostheses which fit perfectly.
Advantages of dental digital titanium fabrication
LaserMelting Titanium - also known as SLM Titanium - offers significant advantages over traditional casting methods. The technology enables the production of dental restorations with an accuracy, precision and homogeneity that conventional methods cannot achieve. It also minimizes material consumption and speeds up production, resulting in lower costs and faster manufacturing. A significant advantage of the titanium SLM process is the excellent bond between the framework and ceramic. Due to the thinner alpha-case layer, the ceramic adheres better to the titanium, which leads to greater stability and longevity of the prosthetics.
Titanium dental technology: a material for the future
Titanium offers numerous advantages which make it an ideal material for dental technology. Due to its high bicompatibility it is well tolerated by the human body and does not trigger allergic reactions, which is particularly important for patients who are allergic to other metals. The low density of titanium also makes it lighter than all other dental metals, which significantly improves the wearing comfort of dentures. Titanium is very strong and resistant to mechanical stress, which enables the production of delicate but robust dental prostheses.
Titanium dental technology: applications and advantages
ITitanium is used for a variety of applications in dental technology, including crowns, bridges, partial frames (RPDs) and implant abutments. These components need to be customized to best meet the patient's needs. With our digital manufacturing technology, dental technicians can produce highly precise and personalized prosthetics.
Titanium: a high-tech material
Titanium is not only an outstanding material in dental technology, but also plays an important role in the aerospace industry. Due to its exceptional strength and lightness, titanium is ideal for use in demanding environments where reliability and performance are crucial. The use of titanium in the aerospace industry underlines its quality and versatility. These properties also make titanium particularly valuable for dental technology and confirm its suitability for high-quality and durable dental prosthesis solutions.
Titanium SLM: sustainability and efficiency
Titanium SLM is not only precise, but also sustainable. Thanks to the efficient use of materials and the reduction of waste, it contributes to environmentally friendly production. CADdent also relies on solar panels and environment friendly packaging, to further minimize our ecological footprint. Our sustainable practices ensure that we do our part to protect the environment while providing the highest quality.
