About sintering supplies
Zirconia milled from a pre-sintered block is sintered afterwards at a high temperature. The restoration is milled at least 25% larger than the design to make up for the shrinkage.
To mill is to shape a material by means of instruments; in CAD-CAM the machine cuts the restoration out of a prefabricated block. This shelf holds the burs a milling machine cuts with, and supplies for the sintering furnace.
How the types differ
- Milling burs — The cutting tool, which wears with use.
- Sintering supplies — Used in the furnace after milling, not in the milling machine.
What to look at when choosing milling burs
Service life: the same study notes that little is known about how many milling cycles a diamond bur can be used for before it needs replacing.
Dry or wet: one study of zirconia concluded that dry milling could give higher translucency.
