Industrial-scale production of customized ceramic prostheses

In the early 1980s the industrialization of products based on the osseointegration principle discovered by Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark started. The industrialization system has since gone through digitalization and automation, where now computer-aided imprisoning, design, and milling are standard features of a highly flexible production process for customized products. Lab production and central production are two ways of producing dental products. The central production principle offers the potential for better economy of scale and turnover of products, and the local dental lab can offer a higher degree of customization and personal service. Quality of dental products has always been of central importance and continues to grow. New technology and a highly digital treatment process are open for even better quality by the use of production simulations and tolerance analysis in all parts of the manufacturing process.
