Spark Erosion Technology in the Conventional and Implant Prosthetics

Dr Eduard Eisenmann

Abstract

With the SAE Spark Erosion System, a method has been developed using "state of the art" dental technology that provides you with precise and cost effective fixed/removable prosthetics.

With Spark Erosion, short circuit impulses in an electrical field burst out minute particles from metallic surfaces. Contrary to drilling, this is a pressureless process, making it possible to produce machined fits in the precision range of 0.01 mm. This technique is processed in a liquid bath to achieve higher conductivity.

The rapid development of Spark Erosion Technology has permanently broadened the field of application for the manufacture of a variety of precision attachments. Even with the highly technical requirements of sophisticated implant prosthetics, it is possible, with spark erosive machining, to design passive fitting supra structures which can be securely locked in or removed by the patient.

By engaging today's highly sophisticated ceramometal alloys, Spark Erosion is applicable to all phases of fixed and removable reconstruction using noble or base alloys.
