Ceramic teeth prove far more rugged than
originals
Ceramics are totally inert and nonallergenic as well as extremely hard, making them suited to use as dental implants.
Maxon has begun making ceramic drill bits and ceramic dental implants According to Keith Ellenden, CEO of Maxon Motor UK, the application illustrates some of the properties that make ceramic components superior to their traditional counterparts

"For a start, the ceramic materials we use are harder than any metal".
"Using the latest CIM (ceramic injection moulding) technology we can form the material, with extreme precision, into any shape - whether it be a motor shaft, a gear cog, a screw thread, a cutting tool or a tooth".
"For medical and dental applications, the fact that the material is totally inert and nonallergenic is another bonus".
Maxon ceramic components are not affected by extreme heat, extreme cold or chemical attack.
They are great insulators, allowing neither heat nor electric current to be transmitted.
Their low weight and excellent anti-friction properties contribute significantly to the efficiency of systems in which they are used. Request a free brochure from Maxon Motor UK ...
