Titanium Milling Blank 1 article

A titanium milling blank is a prefabricated metal blank used for CAD/CAM machining of dental prosthetic components. Laboratories may produce custom abutments, bars and selected implant-supported frameworks from titanium using appropriate machine tools, CAM strategies and finishing steps. The blank provides the raw material for subtractive manufacturing and is chosen according to the indication and compatible system. Cobalt-chromium discs, ceramic blanks and stock implant components represent different materials or workflows; this blank is case-machined titanium.
