New Zirkonzahn Sintermetall

With the new "Sintermetall" sinter metal blanks developed by Zirkonzahn, you can easily manufacture non-precious restorations (single crowns, bridges of 2 or more units, large-span bridges, metal frameworks, telescopes, bars, dowels and attachments) in your own dental laboratory.

By milling in-house, you can increase the revenue retained in your lab.

The economical advantage of new Zirkonzahn Sintermetall is that no additional sintering furnace is needed to sinter the material and no shielding gas has to be used.

The high-quality cobalt-chromium alloy can be sintered under high vacuum without shielding gas by using the sintering adapter for the Zirkonofen 700 Ultra-Vakuum sintering furnace.

This sintering process leads to a firm material bond and smooth surfaces, which guarantees very high fracture strength.

Sintermetall is produced with the use of a special manufacturing technology that prevents poisonous residual oxidations from escaping during the sintering and ensures an excellent material processing quality without smearing using Zirkonzahn's CAD/CAM systems.

Depending on the milling unit, an individual crown can be milled out of Sintermetall blanks, which are available in 7 different heights, in just 15 minutes. After the sintering process, an electroplating technique can be employed to gold plate the sinter metal structure, which avoids any grey showing through under the transparent secondary structure.

Properties at a glance

• High performance cobalt-chromium alloy;
• 100% dimensionally stable - no distortions, stresses, cavitations or impurities in the metal structure;
• High flexural strength through seamless material bond and smooth surfaces (final density > 98 %);
• High edge stability;
• No smearing whilst processing;
• Higher value to your lab thanks to the possibility of manufacturing non-precious restorations with Zirkonzahn's CAD/CAM systems in your own laboratory;
• Your CAD/CAM system does not have to be upgraded;
• Sintering without shielding gas in the Zirkonofen 700 Ultra-Vakuum sintering furnace with high vacuum and special sintering adapter (no additional furnace is required);
• Due to perfect temperature distribution in the furnace, manufacturing up to 14-unit restorations is possible;
• As little as 15-minute milling time (depending on milling unit);
• Electroplating to reduce grey value of secondary structures;
• Veneering with ceramics (consider CTE value) is possible; and
• Faster than the casting technique!
