The Milaenium Grade 5 titanium disc 98 x 10 mm is a Ø 98 mm dental milling disc designed for dental prosthetics laboratories and milling centers equipped with a dental CAD/CAM workflow.
Manufactured from Grade 5 TC4 titanium, also designated Ti-6Al-4V, it allows the milling of low-height metal prosthetic structures requiring mechanical strength, dimensional stability, light weight and milling accuracy.
A professional titanium disc for milled dental restorations
The Milaenium Grade 5 titanium disc 98 x 10 mm is intended for laboratories wishing to integrate a reliable metallic material into their digital production. Its Ø 98 mm format allows integration into milling systems compatible with standard laboratory dental discs.
Grade 5 titanium is particularly sought after for cases where the laboratory needs to combine strength, light weight, rigidity and declared biocompatibility for the intended applications.
Thanks to its 10 mm thickness, this disc is particularly suitable for compact restorations, single units, small frameworks and low-height structures when the available prosthetic volume does not require a greater thickness.
Applications in dental prosthetics laboratories
The Milaenium Grade 5 titanium disc 98 x 10 mm is designed for CAD/CAM work carried out by dental professionals.
- Milled titanium crowns.
- Low-height single units.
- Small metal frameworks intended for veneering.
- Compact structures according to indications and protocols.
- Technical cases requiring strength and light weight.
- Prosthetic cases where a 10 mm thickness is sufficient after CAD/CAM validation.
A material suited to modern CAD/CAM workflows
In dental CAD/CAM, the choice of disc directly influences milling quality, part stability and consistency of the laboratory result.
Grade 5 TC4 titanium offers an interesting balance for technical prosthetic structures: it remains lightweight while providing high mechanical strength for work subjected to significant loads.
The 10 mm thickness should be selected when the prosthetic height, part geometry, positioning within the disc and milling strategy allow secure production with this material reserve.
Why choose a Grade 5 titanium disc for dental milling?
Grade 5 titanium, also known as Ti-6Al-4V or TC4, is a titanium alloy combining titanium, aluminium and vanadium. It is used when the laboratory is looking for a material that is stronger than commercially pure titanium while retaining the advantages of titanium for the indicated prosthetic restorations.
- Very good mechanical strength-to-weight ratio.
- Interesting stability for technical prosthetic structures.
- Good rigidity for compact frameworks.
- Material compatible with dental CAD/CAM workflows.
- Finishing possible according to the laboratory’s usual protocols.
As with any milled dental material, the final quality also depends on the CAD software, CAM strategy, condition of the milling burs, disc clamping, coolant irrigation and compliance with finishing protocols.
Understanding the differences between titanium grades in dentistry
The term dental titanium covers several material grades. They do not all have the same composition, mechanical strength or indications in dental prosthetics laboratories.
| Titanium grade | Material type | Positioning in dentistry |
|---|---|---|
| Grade 1 | Commercially pure titanium | Very ductile, softer, used when the required mechanical strength remains moderate. |
| Grade 2 | Commercially pure titanium | Good biocompatibility and good corrosion resistance, used for certain restorations and less heavily loaded structures. |
| Grade 4 | Reinforced commercially pure titanium | Stronger than the lower pure grades, used in certain implant and prosthetic applications. |
| Grade 5 | Ti-6Al-4V alloy | High-strength titanium alloy, particularly suited to structures subjected to high mechanical loads. |
| Grade 5 ELI / Grade 23 | Ti-6Al-4V with enhanced purity | Version with reduced interstitial element content, used in demanding medical, implant and prosthetic applications. |
Why is Grade 5 recommended for demanding cases?
Grade 5 titanium, also known as Ti-6Al-4V, combines titanium with aluminium and vanadium in order to achieve higher mechanical strength than commercially pure titanium grades.
This strength is particularly relevant for dental restorations subjected to significant loads: small frameworks, compact bridges, technical elements, low-height custom abutments and prosthetic structures where material strength remains decisive.
For the laboratory, Grade 5 makes it possible to work on more technical structures while retaining the desired advantages of titanium: light weight, stability, corrosion resistance and compatibility with dental CAD/CAM workflows.
A relevant choice for CAD/CAM milling
In dental milling, Grade 5 is selected when the laboratory requires a material capable of supporting thin sections, high mechanical loads or low-height technical restorations.
- Higher mechanical strength than the most common pure titanium grades.
- Good stability for compact prosthetic structures.
- Relevant for crowns, small frameworks and low-height bridges.
- Suitable for technical laboratory restorations.
- Compatible with CAD/CAM workflows under a titanium milling protocol.
Grade 5 is not chosen because it replaces all other titanium grades, but because it better meets the needs of highly stressed dental structures.
10 mm thickness: for compact and low-height work
The Milaenium Grade 5 titanium disc 98 x 10 mm is intended for cases where the laboratory requires a limited material reserve, suited to compact restorations and low-height parts. The choice of this thickness must always be validated according to the prosthetic design, milling unit limitations and CAM software indications.
| Thickness | Recommended use orientation |
|---|---|
| 10 mm | Compact work, crowns, single units, small frameworks and low-height structures according to design. |
| 12 mm | Compact work requiring a slightly greater material reserve. |
| 14 to 16 mm | Versatile use for crowns, bridges, frameworks and intermediate structures. |
| 18 to 20 mm | Work requiring greater useful height: bars, abutments, bridges and more technical superstructures. |
| 22 to 25 mm | Large structures or complex cases requiring a significant material reserve. |
This table is a selection aid. Final validation depends on the clinical case, CAD design, positioning within the disc and milling unit constraints.
CAD/CAM milling recommendations
The Grade 5 titanium disc 98 x 10 mm must be used on a milling unit compatible with titanium milling and with a holding system adapted to the Ø 98 mm format.
- Check material compatibility in the CAM software.
- Use milling burs suitable for titanium.
- Follow the milling strategies recommended by the milling unit.
- Check disc clamping before starting production.
- Ensure that the available 10 mm height is suitable for the restoration.
- Avoid using worn burs on demanding structures.
Finishing and laboratory safety
After milling, titanium structures must be separated, deburred and finished according to the laboratory’s protocols and the recommendations applicable to the material.
- Work with efficient suction extraction.
- Limit heat build-up during adjustments.
- Use instruments dedicated to titanium if necessary.
- Clean the parts thoroughly before the next steps.
- Follow the laboratory’s respiratory protection rules.
Recommended milling protocol for Grade 5 titanium
Milling Grade 5 titanium requires a stricter protocol than softer dental materials or materials that are easier to mill. Titanium has low thermal conductivity, places high demands on tools and can generate significant heat if cooling, burs or CAM parameters are not suitable.
For reliable work in a dental prosthetics laboratory, the disc must be milled on a titanium-compatible milling unit, with burs suitable for titanium, a validated CAM strategy and effective liquid coolant directed toward the cutting zone.
Checkpoints before milling
- Check that the milling unit accepts titanium milling.
- Check compatibility of the Ø 98 mm disc holder.
- Use titanium-specific milling burs.
- Select a CAM strategy suitable for Ti-6Al-4V.
- Check disc clamping before starting.
- Check the compatibility of the 10 mm thickness with the part height.
- Check the level and quality of the coolant fluid.
Cooling required
Titanium and titanium alloys must be milled with a suitable coolant fluid. Dry milling should be avoided unless a protocol has been explicitly validated by the milling unit, tool and CAM software manufacturers.
Cooling limits heat build-up in the part, reduces premature bur wear, improves chip evacuation and further secures the production of crowns, compact frameworks, low-height bridges and technical structures.
Laboratory recommendation: mill the Grade 5 titanium disc under irrigation / coolant fluid suitable for titanium, while always following the parameters validated by the milling unit, tools and CAM software used.

FAQ – Milaenium Grade 5 titanium disc 98 x 10 mm
Is this Grade 5 titanium disc 98 x 10 mm suitable for CAD/CAM-equipped dental prosthetics laboratories?
Yes, the Milaenium Grade 5 titanium disc 98 x 10 mm is intended for dental prosthetics laboratories and milling centers working with a compatible CAD/CAM workflow. Its Ø 98 mm format allows integration into open systems accepting this type of disc.
However, the laboratory must check the compatibility of its milling unit, disc holder, burs and CAM strategy before production. The 10 mm thickness must be validated in the software according to the actual height of the restoration to be milled.
Which restorations can be milled from a 10 mm Grade 5 titanium disc?
Depending on the CAD design, this disc can be used to manufacture crowns, single units, small frameworks, compact bridges and low-height technical structures. The 10 mm thickness is relevant when the laboratory does not require a significant material reserve.
Validation always depends on the case to be produced, the available height, connector geometry, prosthetic space and software indications. For implant bars, high abutments or large superstructures, a greater thickness should generally be considered.
What is the difference between Grade 5 titanium and a simpler titanium grade?
Grade 5 titanium, also known as Ti-6Al-4V or TC4, is a titanium alloy strengthened with aluminium and vanadium. It is generally sought after when the part must provide higher mechanical strength and better rigidity than commercially pure titanium.
For a dental laboratory, this positioning is relevant for compact structures, technical frameworks and restorations requiring a good balance between light weight, strength and stability. The choice of material must remain consistent with the laboratory’s indications and working protocols.
How can I know whether the 10 mm thickness is sufficient?
The choice of thickness mainly depends on the height of the restoration, the type of work to be produced, the required material volume and the positioning of the parts within the disc. The 10 mm version is suitable for compact restorations when the design does not require a greater height.
Before milling, the laboratory must check the CAD design, CAM strategy, useful height, milling unit limitations and the possibility of correctly placing milling sprues without weakening the structure.
What precautions should be taken when milling and finishing titanium?
Titanium must be milled with suitable burs, a coherent CAM strategy and a machine configured for this material. Tool condition is important: a worn bur can increase heat build-up, degrade the surface and make finishing longer.
During separation and adjustments, it is recommended to work with efficient suction extraction, limit heat build-up and follow the laboratory’s protection rules. Sandblasting, cleaning, veneering or assembly steps must follow the protocols applicable to the material and type of restoration.
