Practical guidance for dental laboratories using diamond discs on ceramic and zirconia frameworks.
Dental ceramics and zirconia demand fine diamond tools that remove material without introducing heat cracks. Disc thickness, grit, and mandrel runout all affect finish quality under the loupe. Protec Tools manufactures electroplated and sintered dental discs for labs that need predictable margins and occlusal adjustments.
Lab process tips
- Use light intermittent pressure; let the grit cut
- Keep RPM inside the disc rating to avoid disc flare
- Separate discs by grit so coarse scratches are not reintroduced
- Inspect mandrels for wobble before each case
Private-label dental distributors should freeze grit codes and shank sizes in the purchase order so reorder lots match validated workflows.
