Cost Saving and Performance

  • Widest choice of materials
  • Flexibility in intraoral scanners
  • Seamless workflow due to Z4’s integration with 3Shape™, DWOS Chairside™ and Exocad ChairsideCAD™
  • Z4 doesn’t require additives as it purely operates with clear water
  • Z4 can mill even titanium abutments due to its sturdy build.
    • Produce your titanium implant abutments with the use of prefab abutment blanks. For hybrid implant restorations such as a screw-retained crown or hybrid abutments, standard blocks can be used, as the Z4 drills the screw channel itself
  • All blocks with the most commonly used CEREC® or universal mandrel can be loaded into the Z4

Z4-titanium abutment

Smart. Silent. Sturdy 

  • Z4 reminds you and gives detailed instructions on cleaning and maintenance
  • Easy-cleaning coating
    • The inside of the milling chamber is coated with non-stick paint that lets the water just drip off.
  • Noise reduction. Silent mode is available.
    • Extra thick layers of sound-absorbing foam around the milling chamber helps to reduce noise
  • Massive machine bed of aluminum cast to minimize vibrations and distortions
  • Finely balanced spindle
  • State-of-the-art controller

Safe Operation

  • Z4 checks if the right tool magazine is loaded
  • It measures the blocks to ensure that the right size is being loaded
  • One cannot open the mill during operation due to its patient protection lock mode
  • A service camera is incorporated so that the service technicians can review the recorded video stream
