Electroplated method for making diamond-coated grinding discs and burrs used on CEREC II CAD/CAM system / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

?Objective: To develop the electroplated diamond grinding discs and burrs used on CEREC II CAD/CAM system. Methods: Using electroplated technology, the diamond grain and nickel were deposited together on the surface of stainless steel discs and burrs and then a composite electroplated diamond layer was formed, which was the method that diamond coated grinding discs and burrs were made. The experimental grinding discs and burrs were used to mill porcelain blocks on CEREC II CAD/CAM system and were compared with CEREC discs and burrs. Results: There were no significant differences between the experimental samples and CEREC samples on milling property and durability. Conclusion: The electroplated technology is simple and feasible. The diamond coated grinding discs and burrs made with this method can be used on CEREC II CAD/CAM system, but the further investigation is also needed.
