ULA opens digital dental milling center at its Valle campus
On October 28, Universidad Latinoamericana and Lab Dental opened a digital dental center at ULA’s Valle campus in Mexico.
The center uses CAD-CAM technology, which means computers help design and manufacture dental restorations.
It includes an intraoral scanner, a milling machine and a sintering oven to support different stages of production.
Its Ceramill Matron milling machine can process titanium and other materials used in oral rehabilitation, allowing some work to be done on campus instead of at outside production centers.
ULA says students and graduates can use the facility to support treatments for their patients and gain practical experience with the technology.
The partners aim to make production and delivery more efficient and help treatments continue with less delay.
The center is part of ULA’s effort to connect dental education with clinical practice, but no further plans were announced.
The Universidad Latinoamericana (ULA) and Lab Dental opened a CAD-CAM dental milling center at ULA’s Valle campus on October 28.
The center brings digital design and dental restoration manufacturing equipment together on campus.
Its equipment includes an intraoral scanner, a milling machine and a sintering furnace.
The center will be available to ULA students and graduates, supporting dental treatments for their patients.
ULA says the facility is the first university in Mexico with a milling machine of this type.
