The Wol-Ceram
System
The Wol-Ceram ELC
(Electro Layering
Ceramic) system is a state of the art
Electro-layering
and CAD/CAM system designed to work with
Vita In-Ceram
materials that
increases accuracy and strength while
significantly reducing turn around time.
Copings, bridges, implant abutments and implant
frames are possible. Because the system works
off the original die, it is able to produce an
extremely accurate fit and the most precise
margins of any CAD/CAM dental system available.
Because all work is done in house, turnaround
time is drastically reduced. Best of all, the
system works on any margin prep so your dentist
does not have to change anything to utilize it.
Wol-Ceram Electro-Layered
Ceramic Process:
The special advantage of this procedure lies
in the extremely accurate Wol-Ceram coping.
The original die is dipped in aluminum
oxide, spinell, or zirconia and it's coated
by the ELC
(Electro Layering
Ceramic) process. Thus creating an extremely
precise internal and marginal fit - in
essence, The perfect-Fit.
The require coping thickness is entered into
the computer and the ELC/CAM
program runs the fully automatic production
sequence. This manufacturing process is many
times faster and results in substantial cost
and material savings.
For the dentist, this results in a new,
patented and improved restoration technique,
providing the possibility to make a
different thickness cementation gap which is
thinner on the occlusion than on the sides.
The occlusal pressure is thus absorbed by
the occlusal contact. With this system, the
possibility for fractures is vastly
minimized.
Wol-Ceram
CAD/CAM Process:
This fully automated CAD/CAM system
consists of an integrated scanning/milling
unit and computer design software. The
system uses the Electro
Layering Ceramic process (ELC),
working along with laser technology in order
to scan the original die, generating
dimensional data that is processed and
viewed in 3-D on the computer screen. The
die is electro statically charged and
lowered into an In-Ceram Alumina, Spinell,
or Zirconia slick that is charged in
opposite polarity, creating an attraction
between the material and the die. The coping
formed by the ELC
coating is milled back to the preset
thickness established by the 3-D data, and
the finished coping is then sintered. The
system is capable of producing up to 10
copings per hour.
