PROSTHETIC MATERIALS
A SOLUTION FOR
YOUR EVERY NEED
Bien-Air Laboratory offers you a range of certified prosthetic materials
recognized* for their top-level performance. Suitable for all
requirements, the Bien-Air range offers you a broad range of solutions,
from highly-affordable temporary materials to DC-Zirkon
®
, renowned
for its aesthetic qualities and great strength.
To perfect this range, Bien-Air has collaborated with various universities
and well-known international institutes, resulting in materials with
a fine homogeneous structure. Their unique characteristics allow faster
machining and provide exceptional quality.
The most recent of these, DC-Croco
®
is a cobalt alloy
of proven quality, industrially produced and used to make
the frames of crowns and bridges.
As well as DC-Zirkon
®
and DC-Zirkon
®
col., absolute
classics that were placed on the market in 1993 and are
suitable for numerous indications (fully sintered zirconium),
you have the choice of DC-Shrink
®
(densely sintered
zirconium) and DC-Leolux
®
(fully sintered zirconium).
Our range of «all ceramic» aluminium products, which
includes DC-Procura
®
, provides a practical response
to all user requirements. This range also includes
the vitro-ceramics DC-Cristall
®
and DC-Cream
®
.
The DC-Titan
®
(single metal), is covered by the layer
of bio-oxides. For non-precious alloys, we go back to
DC-Croco
®
.
A «low cost» segment that is currently enjoying success:
long-lasting temporary prosthetics made from DC-Tell
®
reinforced with fiberglass and DC-Cast
®
designed for
the «lost-wax» casting technique.
DC-Zirkon
®
, due to its incomparable aesthetic properties
and great strength, has become a real bestseller. These
qualities are particularly remarkable due to the enormous
level of hot isostatic pressing (HIP) to which it is subjected.
The technical perfection phase took place in collaboration
with various universities and made it possible to reduce
the implementation time and also to optimize the material.
Its long machining time becomes relative since the heating
phase (sintering) is not necessary. DC-Zirkon
®
offers essen-
tial advantages to demanding professionals.
