Ideal gateway to zirconia milling: the new PrograMill DRY

Dental laboratories looking to mill zirconia restorations safely and efficiently in-house will find the new PrograMill DRY milling unit from Ivoclar Vivadent the ideal gateway. The CAD/CAM dry milling unit is a sophisticated system solution in a compact design that combines coordinated processes with high quality materials, mature technologies and comfortable handling.


Milling zirconia professionally: this call inspired Ivoclar Vivadent to extend its portfolio to include the PrograMill DRY 5-axis dry milling unit.

The mill is a robust entry-level unit designed for the cost-efficient production of restorations made of zirconia as well as a variety of PMMA materials (e.g. Ivotion for complete digital denture prosthetics).

Precise and flexible: designed for zirconia and Ivotion dentures

The PrograMill DRY is ideally suited for milling IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime discs, enabling laboratories to optimise their cost effectiveness and efficiency. These innovative zirconia discs from Ivoclar Vivadent offer impressive aesthetic properties and a maximum range of processing options, including staining, cut-back and veneering techniques. The material is suitable for all restoration designs, ranging from crowns to multiple-unit bridges. The exceptional quality and aesthetic properties of this zirconia results from the innovative Gradient Technology employed to manufacture the discs. In addition, the PrograMill DRY unit is also suitable for the CAD/CAM production of complete dentures using the Ivotion denture system. The Ivotion Denture Holder enables the Ivotion CAD/CAM disc to be placed in the exact position in the machine for performing the milling process. Ivotion and PrograMill DRY can be used together to produce complete monolithic dentures in a single milling operation using a digital workflow.

Reliable and efficient - a coordinated process

The PrograMill DRY unit is fully integrated into the Ivoclar Digital workflow, offering dental laboratories a straightforward and cost-effective manufacturing process. Laboratories that are new to the field of automated manufacturing will benefit especially from the perfectly coordinated process components. The PrograMill CAM software provides dental technicians with an intelligent software application that enables a high level of process reliability and time savings.

Compact and convenient - effortless handling

With its compact design, the PrograMill DRY easily fits in any laboratory and can be ideally placed even in a small room where space is at a premium. The milling machine offers dental technicians many practical features. For instance, the quick clamping system enables an effortless change of materials: the CAD/CAM discs can be intuitively and conveniently replaced using just one hand. No additional tools required. This makes it easy to operate the machine.

In a nutshell - ideal for getting started

PrograMill DRY provides dental technicians with a reliable CAD/CAM system especially designed for processing zirconia materials - a system that is flexible, cost effective and straightforward to use. The PrograMill DRY is a compact system solution for busy dental laboratories, offering automated data transfer (CAM5 output format), convenient handling and high process reliability. Especially those who are new to CAD/CAM will quickly come to appreciate the benefits of this machine. PrograMill DRY - Milling zirconia oxide professionally.
