Face Hunter – The Zirkonzahn Facial Scanner
Zirkonzahn’s Face Hunter facial scanner offers a tool that enables 3D scanning of the patient’s face. This tool makes it possible to work with the patient’s physiognomy, which enables the user to transfer the facial scan data, together with the models, in the virtual articulator in relation to the axis. The Face Hunter is also very easy to use: with a single click it is possible to scan the patient’s face in only 0.3 seconds. The scanner can also be used out of the dental laboratory, just using a laptop. 3D facial scan data can bring many advantages not only to the dental technician but also to the dentist and the patient.
Thanks to the use of the patient’s real physiognomy in this workflow, the dental technician can obtain a result that is much more precise and thus offer to the dentist and the patient a near-photorealistic preview of the definitive restoration. This is also a tool that provides the patient a concrete idea of the final work during the consultation phase. The faces scanned with the Face Hunter are imported into the modeling software Zirkonzahn. Modellier and then combined with the models implemented through one of Zirkonzahn’s scanner. It is now possible to model the restoration starting from the patient’s facial features. A flash system for perfect lighting is included in the equipment. Upon request, a light stand may also be provided.
Zirkonzahn.Implant-Planner – 3D implant planning system approved as medical device. Reliable cooperation for implant insertions
With the Zirkonzahn.Implant-Planner implant planning software, the cooperation between the dentist and the dental laboratory can be taken to new levels, reconciling the planned aesthetic design of a prosthetic restoration with the planned implant situation (backward planning). Based on digitally merged patient data (such as DICOM data or data from model or face scans), the dentist can determine the optimal implant position in terms of function, anatomy and aesthetics, taking bone structure and set-up into account. The user is guided through the planning process one step at a time, making implant planning an easy task right from the outset and requiring only a minimum of user familiarity with software procedures. With the data transfer feature the data can easily be sent to the dental lab. Here, the surgical guides, the restorations, the custom impression trays and/or the models with laboratory analogues are made. This allows the dentist to receive all components required for an implant case simultaneously (immediate loading).
All structures — from surgical guide to the prosthetic restoration itself — can be manufactured using the Zirkonzahn CAD/CAM system. Every step fits perfectly with the existing Zirkonzahn workflow. The open data-exchange feature allows the use of CAD/CAM systems by other manufacturers or 3D printers for the production of surgical guides or models.
New Zirkonzahn's Open-Data Milling Units!
M2 Wet Heavy Metal And M2 Dual Wet Heavy Metal
More user comfort and higher flexibility: these are the distinctive features of the new Zirkonzahn M2 milling units! The M2 milling units allow for a particular precise and clean elaboration of all materials, both through wet and dry processing. What differentiates the M2 Dual Wet Heavy Metal milling unit are the two separate, flexibly configurable milling chambers for sequential wet and dry processing of all soft and hard dental materials without in-between cleaning.
In all M2 milling units, elaboration processes are particularly stable due to the proven 5+1-axis simultaneous milling technology with orbit and opposed rotary axes. Also hard-to-reach areas – such as undercuts and divergences – can be milled without difficulty and several work pieces can be fixed and processed in the orbit by using various blank holders, e.g. glass ceramics or Raw-Abutment® blanks. All M2 milling units are stand-alone solutions: indeed, is it possible to start milling and calibration processes or load elaboration tools directly from the machine, via the integrated PC with touchscreen. The machines are provided with spaciously designed, optimally illuminated and easily accessible milling chambers as well as with a tool chamber with dust protection equipped with 21 tool compartments (3x21 in the M2 Dual Wet Heavy Metal milling units). In the M2 Wet Heavy Metal milling unit, additional tool chambers permits to store tidily further milling burs. The milling units are also equipped with a water collecting tray, an automatic tool changer function with optical tool detection – which ensures the appropriate selection of milling tools resulting in greater safety and precision – as well as an automatic self-cleaning function at the end of the milling process.
Prettau® zirconia – Manufactured with pride

Inspired by the base properties of this material and strongly convinced of being in front of the dental material of the future, Enrico Steger founded his company with the aim of getting the best out of zirconia for dental restorations. Much more than initially thought was necessary to achieve that: premium raw materials, expensive manufacturing and cleaning processes, colouring concepts, processing tools, milling strategies once manual and now digital, sintering furnaces and consistently new solutions. Everything was studied to the final detail to assemble the necessary puzzle that is Prettau® zirconia. As a result, Prettau® Bridges (monolithic, 14-unit Prettau® zirconia bridges) have been used for more than 10 years to provide patients with aesthetic and long-lasting restorations. Now the chosen path towards monolithic design continues.
The new Prettau® 2 and Prettau® 4 Anterior® zirconia typologies, with their translucency properties, enable a monolithic design in the posterior and anterior regions, which permits to avoid ceramic layering. In the Dispersive® versions (Prettau® 2 Dispersive® and Prettau® 4 Anterior® Dispersive®), ceramic layering and manual colouring are not necessary anymore, since the two materials are provided with a very smooth, natural colour transition already during the manufacturing process. Indeed, colours are not blended into layers but are dispersed evenly through a special technique. This results in a structure characterised by a merging natural colour transition after sintering, which can be further individualised manually.
