Smoothing Zirconia Surface

[skdawl]

Insane! That's pretty awesome.

you gotta start with the right library to do this, it is impractical to do it with simple primary anatomy stuff.

but yes, the half-mm tool and the smoothing function will get it all ridgey.

none of this is in any way useful to do to zirconia, milling doesn't get horizontal.

you can print this, for emax, sure, but time well wasted for zirconia.

Guys! We have to figure out how can we produce surface like this...

 

[Radu]

Fantastic work he's doing..

stumpf you should be able to do this with a wire (metal bristles) brush is my guess.

This is modeless from an IOS too.

Does anyone know what zirconia he is using?

 

[Tayebdental]

I think as some said most of his festunings are post milling and post sentering. I will try to emulate his artistry on some future crowns.

Can somebody explain why is good this kind of brush?

A metal wire brush would leave dark discolored scratches in Zr, but a fibered glass brush would not. The added advantage is that the glass fiber can be made into very narrow diameter strands, more than is possible with metal; and because of this you'll get those fine lines on the surface very similar to perikymata on natural teeth.

I am ready .

 

[stumpf]

me too,but i think we are getting closer to the final solution

 

[CoolHandLuke]

step 1:
get the teeth in the right position



step 2:

add S curve to your buccal surface using the tool demonstrated. best to make quick swift strokes instead of slow smooth additions



step 3:

use the remove tool shown, and make Up and Down passes , to de-lumpify the surface.



enjoy your new ridgy facials.

that last line sounds so wrong

Cool Hand there Luke....

 

[JohnWilson]

Did you rename CAPs library>? I wonder how many DME's are out there.

 

[CoolHandLuke]

no, that is CAP's library

Keystone's Scotchbrite brushes will do the trick...
