Advanced tools for dental biomaterials research
Proto-tech offers a complete line of testing machines for dental biomaterials research. Our machines are designed to provide the most clinically realistic simulations available. The designs are based on findings from the research literature and have themselves often been used in published studies. Our goal is to provide a one-stop source for dental researchers with our extensive product line. Please examine the following products:
Oral Wear Simulator
The emerging world-standard for wear of restoratives with an easy-to-use four-chamber format. The Oral Wear Simulator by Proto-tech provides realistic wear in abrasion and attrition simultaneously on each specimen, more..
Automated Profilometer
Robust and affordable, this is an essential tool for evaluating dental wear specimens. A programmable two-axis motorized stage positions specimens under a sub-micron sensitive non-contact probe, more..
Polymerization Stress Tester
A uniaxial tensile tester specially equipped to measure the polymerization stress of light-cured restoratives. A precision screw-driven positioning stage and programmable stepping motor, more..
Fatigue Tester
Our new fatigue tester is specially designed for biomaterials research. Precision solenoids and computer control provide repeatable, heavy-duty loading. Closed-loop control is provided by individual in-line load cells, more..
Toothbrush Wear Cycler
Six specimens are mounted in an acrylic chamber, with individually weighted toothbrush holders on precision roller slides, and a recirculating pump to supply slurry. more..
Automated Mini-mill
new
Making specimens preps for research has never been easier or more accurate. A three-axis motorized stage guides a high-speed handpiece according to programmed directions. more..
