About the Frank Prünte Milling Center

Dental-Labor Frank Prünte GmbH is a Lava, laser and milling center for dental technology based in Unna with production sites in Iserlohn and Westhausen. Across a total of eight 5-axis milling units, the company produces dental products from zirconia, silicate ceramic, composite ceramic, plastic and PEEK. For non-precious-metal (NPM) frameworks made of cobalt-chrome, an additive process is used: Selective Laser Melting (SLM) on a Trumpf TruePrint 1000. In addition to its CAD/CAM services, classic laboratory services are also offered. The company has been active in the dental market for over 25 years and supplies dental laboratories as a business partner throughout Germany. Design data can be submitted via a customer login; if data is received by 14:00, work is ready for dispatch within 24 hours, or within 48 hours when models are delivered. Models are collected free of charge by express courier.

Materials and Processes

ZrO2

Zirconia (DEGUDENT Cercon HT, IVOCLAR Zenostar, KURARAY KATANA Zirconia ML)

Opaque to translucent, pre-shaded zirconia in single or multi-layer form for delicate, precision-fit crowns and bridges.

Silicate ceramic (IVOCLAR IPS e.max CAD, DENTSPLY Celtra Duo, VITA Mark II)

High-strength ceramics for aesthetic single-tooth restorations in the anterior and posterior regions.

Composite ceramic (GC Cerasmart, VITA Enamic, SCHÜTZ Tizian)

Hybrid ceramics, nanoceramics and zirconia-reinforced composites with high load capacity and elasticity, also for implant restorations.

PEEK

PEEK (MERZ Dental PEEK BioSolution)

Biocompatible, wear-resistant polyetheretherketone, as elastic as human bone, also for fixed restorations.

CoCr

Cobalt-Chrome (CoCr)

Alloy for laser-melted NPM frameworks with high material homogeneity and load capacity.

SLM

Selective Laser Melting (Trumpf TruePrint 1000)

Additive process in which dental frameworks are built up layer by layer from CoCr powder using a laser beam.
