UltraThineer Ultra-thin Zirconia Veneers

Healthy restoration without grinding

Veneer Application with Grinding Versus No Grinding

The thickness of dental veneers requires additional space in the oral cavity, so if the veneer is not thin enough, it is necessary to grind some of the tooth tissue. This can damage the enamel and even affect the dental nerves, potentially causing tooth sensitivity, reduced chewing function, and even periodontal or pulpitis. UltraThineer veneers, with a minimum thickness of 80μm, can be applied without any tooth grinding in certain cases, preserving as much enamel as possible and protecting the health of natural teeth.

Edge sealing accuracy up to 4µm, tight fit

Traditional casting or cutting of glass ceramics typically results in an edge fit of 50-100µm. In contrast, UltraThineer uses Projection Micro Stereolithography (PµSL) 3D printing technology to achieve edge fit precision as fine as 4µm. This precise fit ensures the veneers closely adhere to the tooth surface, minimizing foreign body sensation and preventing saliva and food debris accumulation in gaps. This reduces the risk of secondary caries and stress concentration, enhancing durability and preventing fractures.

Easy laser removal, reversible attachment and detachment

Since the veneer material does not contain water, erbium laser can penetrate the veneer to reach the bonding interface. The bonding layer contains water in the enamel or dentin, and when the erbium laser is absorbed by water, it causes a “micro-explosion”, releasing the bond and allowing the veneer to separate from the tooth surface with minimal damage to the natural teeth. This makes veneer replacement simple, and healthy tooth usage is still possible after removal.

Premium materials, excellent aesthetics

Zirconia ceramics, known for their high strength and durability, offer excellent color-blocking capabilities. At just 80µm thick, they achieve remarkable translucency and aesthetic effects while maintaining their robust properties.

Derived from BMF’s Projection Micro Stereolithography (PµSL)

BMF manufactures ultra-high-precision 3D printing systems with a maximum printing accuracy of up to 2μm, making it a global leader in the industry. Using the patented projection micro-stereolithography (PμSL) technology, a technique that allows for rapid photopolymerization of a layer of liquid polymer using a flash of UV light at micro-scale resolution.
