PEEK CAD/CAM DISCS by DIGITECH
Common PEEK Disc Sizes Used in Dental CAD/CAM
Most dental laboratories use standard CAD/CAM discs compatible with systems like Amann Girrbach, Roland, UP3D, Imes-Icore, etc.
Standard diameter
The industry standard diameter is:
98.5 mm
This allows compatibility with almost all open milling systems.
1. Most Common Thicknesses
These are the most used PEEK disc thicknesses in dentistry.
Thickness Typical Use 10 mm temporary frameworks, bars 12 mm implant frameworks 14 mm partial denture frameworks 16 mm large frameworks 18 mm full arch bars / thick structures 20-25 mm rare, large structures Most sold thicknesses
In dental labs the top 3 sellers are:
14 mm
16 mm
18 mm
These allow milling partial denture frameworks with clasps.
2. Standard Disc Types
Type A -- With Step
Used by most mills.
Disc has a shoulder / step that locks into the holder.
Typical height options:
10 mm
12 mm
14 mm
16 mm
18 mm
Type B -- Flat Disc
Used by some milling machines.
No retention shoulder.
3. Most Common Colors
PEEK is not like zirconia.
Color options are limited because it is a framework material.1. Natural / Ivory (MOST USED)
Color tone:
bone / dentin shade
slightly yellow
Used for:
partial frameworks
implant bars
clasps
This is 80-90% of the market.
2. White PEEK
More opaque.
Used when:
composite veneering is planned
temporary implant restorations
3. Pink / Gingiva PEEK (less common)
Used for:
gingiva frameworks
hybrid prosthesis base
Rare in discs.
4. Gray / Carbon PEEK
Contains carbon fiber reinforcement.
Advantages:
stronger
stiffer
Disadvantages:
dark color
poor esthetics
Used mainly for implant frameworks, not visible areas.
4. Popular Dental PEEK Brands
Most common materials used by dental labs:
Brand Material Color BioHPP (Bredent) ceramic reinforced PEEK ivory Juvora PEEK medical PEEK ivory Pekkton Ivory PEKK variant ivory CopraPeek standard PEEK ivory Smile PEEK CAD/CAM ivory 5. Most Common Disc Sold in Labs
The most typical PEEK disc used for partial dentures:
98.5 mm diameter
16 mm thickness
Ivory / Natural color
This disc allows milling:
major connector
clasps
framework structure
6. Typical Clasp Thickness in Design
When milling PEEK frameworks labs design:
Area Thickness Major connector 1.2-1.5 mm Clasps 1.3-1.6 mm Rest seats 1.0-1.2 mm Because PEEK is flexible, frameworks are thicker than cobalt chrome.
7. Milling Tools Used for PEEK
Typical bur sizes used:
3 mm roughing
2 mm
1 mm
0.6 mm finishing
PEEK mills very easily compared with zirconia.
8. Typical Disc Price (Lab Market)
Approximate wholesale prices:
Disc Price Standard PEEK disc $180 - $400 BioHPP reinforced $450 - $700 PEKK (Pekkton) $700 - $1,200
