GOLD IS FOREVER TIMELESS

The trend in prosthetics towards highly aesthetic precious metal restorations continues unabated. Despite

fluctuating prices, the desire to place one’s trust in consistent, reliable values is as strong as ever – in values such as

biocompatibility, durability and aesthetics, which are immune to any short-lived trend. Because of its long-standing

tradition in matters of precious metals, WIELAND has for many years taken it upon itself to offer dental labs

and clinicians innovative and competitive dental alloys. EXPECT THE DIFFERENCE! BY WIELAND.

Dear reader,

In times of change, dynamic companies show their strength by continuously adapting

their structures to new requirements. Both in what they do and with regard to personnel.

WIELAND Dental + Technik has therefore taken a further step to align its activities closer

to the requirements of the market. The clearly delineated structure consisting of two

strong pillars “Dental” – dentistry and dental technology – on the one hand and “Indus-

try” – chemicals, solar energy, electrical engineering and medical devices on the other,

makes today’s structure ready for the growth of tomorrow.

Adjustments to our portfolio also entail a new allocation of responsibilities. Since

August 1st, Oliver Völlinger, who has previously welcomed you in this column, has

become exclusively responsible for the management of the Industry Division. The

management of the Dental Division is now in the hands of CEO Torsten Schwafert,

a recognised specialist in the dental sector. Many readers will know him personally

from his former role as Head of Sales and Marketing at DeguDent.

Over the last few weeks, Mr Schwafert has settled into his new position with en-

thusiasm and commitment and will be in touch with many of you, our WIELAND

customers, through a number of channels during the autumn. Furthermore, with

Reinhold Brommer and Friedrich Karle at his side on the management team, he can

draw on a wealth of expertise, experience and WIELAND know-how. So it is on behalf

of the new management team of the WIELAND Dental Division that we are looking

forward to working with you in order to pave the way for further progress and ever

greater success in matters of dental technology. Here’s to a successful partnership!

Yours sincerely

The WIELAND Team

Haristos Girinis is known to his colleagues as an attentive and

accessible modern practitioner. His keen eye for the type of

denture required by his patients goes far beyond the mere dic-

tates of clinical indication. The particular desires and vision of

each individual patient, together with the overall appearance,

influence the choice of material and application.

Girinis defines perfect aesthetics for a well-fitting permanent

denture in terms of absolutely identical shade matching, trans-

lucence and a natural red /white balance. With many years

experience as an expert consultant and speaker at WIELAND

events, he is delighted to pass on his wealth of expertise to

colleagues – in training sessions and in regular contributions

to WIELAND DIRECT.

Renewed vitality in every light

The use of ZIROX veneering ceramic on implant-borne bridges in zirconium oxide is the process of choice, not only because of its unrestricted biocompatibility but because the skilful use of ZIROX gives vibrant aesthetics accompanied by stunning light dynamics.

A special topic in this issue is the perfectly harmonized veneer-

ing of a six-unit bridge framework in zirconium oxide with

ZIROX using the established 3-layer build-up technique. The pa-

tient is a 72-year old man whose new anterior bridge reflects

his stunning vitality. The ZIROX veneering ceramic is suitable for

veneering hard sintered all-ceramic frameworks in ZrO2 with a

CTE of approx. 10.5 x 10-6 K-1 (25-500 °C). The framework was

milled to an anatomical shape and designed to provide sup-

port at the cusps. Here you can follow a step by step account

of the process used.

TITANIUM BASES

Overpressing of zirconium oxide frameworks: the simply lucrative alternative to foreign-made „Opinions differ on this issue. Master Dental Technician Frank Wüstefeld describes his personal experience with a technology about which the reactions of colleagues range from ardent support to total dismissal.

Patients can rest assured: aesthetic and affordable dentures can be made in Germany.

The overpress technique has been avail-

able for zirconium oxide restorations for

quite a few years now, but dental technicians disagree about

the economic benefits for the lab. As far as my own business is

concerned, I can reveal the answer. Overpressing is a lucrative

process when the crowns or bridges are made using CAO (Com-

puter Aided Overpress) technology. If the technician has to wax

up the zirconium oxide framework, then the time and effort is

almost the same as building up a veneering ceramic. The proce-

dure is not worthwhile, but the combination of zirconium oxide

frameworks and anatomic overpressing in milled wax or acrylic

is a different matter altogether.

There are currently two software applications in use with the

ZENOTEC system. One is WIELAND’s own ZENO Cad software,

with which it is already possible to make overpressed bridges.

Here individual overpress crowns and pontics are fabricated

which are then be bonded to the zirconium oxide framework.

As from the winter of 2009, it will be possible to mill the over-

press parts either as single or splinted bridge components.

The second software application is from 3Shape. With the

current version of this program it is already possible to make

CAO crowns. The 2009 release, the Beta version of which we

are currently using, also enables overpress bridges to be made.

The 3Shape process offers overpress design in a single piece, so

that it is not necessary to bond the individual parts together.

This software should be available from autumn 2009.

Designing the framework is one thing, but the muffle system is

just as important when it comes to obtaining reliable and re-

producible results. Here it is especially important for the press

cylinder to be adjustable to the work and not vice versa, as is

often the case with muffle systems. The XXL muffle is made of

hard plastic with fixing rings in aluminium. A sophisticated sys-

tem with three muffles for 100 g, 200 g and the pear-shaped

XXL 380 g size. The durable and long-lasting material makes

this muffle a sound investment for many years to come. Easy to

clean and wear-free.

An innovative feature of the muffle is that the cylinders can be

moved separately on the base plate. This enables bridges to be

made in any required shape. Because of certain unsuitable arch

shapes, the size is limited to six-unit bridges. It is also possible to

carry out overpressing in five different shades. This means that

up to five different colours and up to 20 g of press ceramic can

be pressed in the XXL muffle. The XXL muffle can only be used

with the Press-i-Dent furnace from Dekema because this fur-

nace presses the muffle against the furnace door. It does not

matter how the plunger formers are distributed.

The WIELAND Press X Zr press ceramic is the perfect match for

the ZENO Zr material. The transparent blanks are available in six

different degrees of brightness and translucence. After press-

ing, the sprues are trimmed off and ground. Then the surface is

textured and colouring can begin. For this, the new Body Stains

are used. These create the right shade with even greater ease

and speed. Finally, the glaze bake is carried out. This, too, is a

WIELAND innovation. Glaze materials that can be sprayed from

a can. Economical, fast, clean and always evenly applied.

There are only a few stages which need to be done by hand.

Whilst this fact will not delight every technician, there is no way

to banish automation from the lab in the long term. As high-

performance automatic systems such as ZENOTEC T1 come

onto the market, accompanied by ever more sophisticated

tools, the quality of the dental surfaces obtainable improves

considerably. But there is a positive aspect to this, too. As

machine output increases, it becomes more and more difficult

for suppliers from abroad because dentures can be produced

just as economically in Germany.

WIELAND creates organisational struc-tures to pave the way for future growth

Focusing on customers and markets

WIELAND Dental + Technik GmbH & Co. KG, a major supplier

of dental system solutions as well as precious metals, materials

and semi-finished products for industrial applications, is adapt-

ing its organisational structures to better cater for the needs

of the market. The rapid technological developments of recent

years have increasingly led to the Dental and Industry Divisions

setting different strategic priorities. Whereas alloys, electro-

forming and precious metal recovery were previously core

business areas at WIELAND, today the areas of all-ceramic res-

torations and CAD/CAM are playing an ever more important

part. On the other hand, the Industry Division is increasingly

making its mark through innovative products in the sectors of

solar energy, electrical engineering and medical devices.

New management for the Industry Division

In order to do justice to these developments, Oliver Völlinger (44)

will in future be concentrating, in his role as member of the

executive management, exclusively on the Industry Division in

order to develop this sector still further and attain sustainable

growth for WIELAND in this area.

New management for the Dental Division

On August 1st 2009, Torsten Schwafert (44), previously Head of

Torsten Schwafert is the new executive in charge of the Dental Division. Since the beginning of August, the Dental and Industry Divisions have become independent of each other.

Torsten Schwafert, since August 1st 2009 the executive responsible for WIELAND’s Dental Division.

Sales and Marketing at DeguDent, assumed responsibility for

the Dental Division. His operative remit includes the areas of

R & D, sales and all aspects of CAD/CAM technology. After

training as an industrial manager and subsequently studying

business administration, Torsten Schwafert held a number of

senior positions in the areas of sales and marketing as well as in

corporate management, for example on the management board

of the Dutch company Elephant Dental B.V. In over 20 years

service to the dental industry, he has been responsible for the

successful introduction of many new technologies to the dental

market.

Continuity of experience and expertise

In addition, Reinhold Brommer (56) will remain in his post as

member of the management team within the Dental Division and

continue to contribute his many years of WIELAND experience.

Central coordination

The two operative divisions of WIELAND, Dental and Industry,

are centrally aligned to the interdisciplinary area of Finance and

Administration, which will be headed by Friedrich Karle (52),

previously Business Manager, who will in future take on the role

of CFO. Mr Karle is a business graduate with 25 years experience

in managerial positions in international companies.

Color Zr is available now.

With ZENO Color Zr, zirconium oxide can

be stained easily, economically to the

highest aesthetic standards. This is done

before sintering by simply placing the

frameworks in the ready-to-use solution

and then fixing the colour by immersing

briefly in ZENO ColorFix. The combined

effect of these two products is an ex-

tremely homogeneous shade effect

which is perfectly matched to the ZIROX

shades; there is no edge formation. It is

no longer necessary to apply a liner,

which not only increases the overall

translucence but makes the entire pro-

cess more efficient.

ZENO Color Zr is available in all 16 stand-

ard colours of the classic shade guide

and customers can choose between

single jars and a variety of assortments.

In addition to the colouring and fixing

solutions, these come complete with

accessories such as colouring jars, filter

inserts and tweezers. ZENO Color Zr and

Since August 1st 2009, Master Dental Tech-nician Ernst A. Hegenbarth has been part of the successful WIELAND ceramics team.

Ernst A. Hegenbarth, with a long-standing reputation both as

a knowledgeable and eloquent speaker at dental conferences

and known for his numerous publications, has decided to team

up with WIELAND. He was recently the driving force behind the

development of the NobelRondo™ systems at Nobel Biocare.

This line of ceramic materials for the veneering of aluminium

oxide and zirconium oxide frameworks was manufactured by

WIELAND Dental Ceramics. Nobel Biocare has now resolved to

discontinue the NobelRondo™ concept, but users can rest

assured: Wieland will be continuing with this successful concept

by incorporating it into the X-Type range of ceramics. On Sep-

tember 1st 2009 the existing ZIROX product line was expanded

by the addition of the ZIROX NR shade scheme which is 100 %

compatible with this tray system. In future, Mr Hegenbarth

will be assisting WIELAND by contributing his vast experience

in the areas of ceramics and CAD/CAM. Stay tuned for

further developments.

For many years, the WIELAND X-Type have been the preferred

veneering ceramics of dental labs worldwide.

An example of this is provided by the addition of the new HITEX NF paste opaque,

specifically designed to meet the requirements of HITEX users. However, field trials

revealed that the established HITEX paste opaques also have many supporters. In

accordance with the veneering preferences of our ceramics customers, WIELAND will

therefore be retaining both paste opaques. We will therefore be keeping a close eye
