Why Milling Is Still King in Dental Restorations In the rapidly evolving world of digital dentistry, new technologies like resin printing and hybrid additive systems are making headlines. Yet when it comes to producing strong, precise, and sustainable restorations, milling still reigns supreme. Precision That Protects Resources Milling is a subtractive process—but it’s far from wasteful. With today’s advanced nesting software and multi-case optimization, every zirconia disc is used to its fullest potential. Modern CAD/CAM systems calculate exact tool paths, minimizing unnecessary cuts and maximizing the yield from each puck. Compared to 3D printing—where supports and cleaning processes add significant...

True-to-Color Shade Matching, Milled from Real Zirconia When precision matters, you need tools that reflect reality — not approximations.
