The CEREC milling and grinding units and the CEREC software are optimally synchronised with one another. Grinding and milling the restoration design is extremely precise, giving the restorations smooth surfaces. Even very fine fissures are very precisely prepared and the edges are very even. Milling and grinding units can also dry mill, making solid zirconia restorations in a single visit possible!
The range of indications include inlays, onlays, crowns, veneers, bridges, abutments and drilling guides, as well as grinding of all practice laboratory indications with the CEREC MC XL Premium. It is also suitable for all CADCAM materials (plastic, ceramic and metal). Take advantage of the convenience of the 4 motors, optional ‘extra-fine’ grinding, and a user-friendly touchscreen.
The CEREC grinding and milling machines come with a vacuum cleaner for mill shavings and precision tools.
The CEREC MC XL can be used for both wet and dry processing. Dry milling saves a considerable amount of time because the restoration does not need to be dried before sintering, enabling the chairside procedure. There is also no difference in quality between dry and wet milling processes. The dry dust can easily be removed using a short, integrated cleaning programme.

“Treatment often used to take a long time. With CEREC I got a complete crown in just one visit – without a temporary or follow-up visits. I call that service!”
Meike Tramitz, patient from Gießen
The new CEREC grinding and milling machines come equipped with a device to vacuum up the mill shavings as well as new precision tools. The new machine can be used for both wet and dry processing, one straight after the other. Dry milling saves a considerable amount of time, as the restoration does not need to be dried before sintering – thus enabling the chairside procedure. And there is no difference in quality between dry and wet milling processes. The dry dust can easily be removed using a short, integrated cleaning program.

Inlay/onlays, crowns, veneers, bridge frameworks, customised abutments, telescopes, bars, attachments and surgical guides can be fabricated.
The MCXL can create fully anatomical single tooth restorations up to a block size of 85mm.
No the unit has an integrated water tank and does not require compressed air.
Observe country-specific Regulations. Some countries have legal regulations which require regular safety inspections of electrical devices or systems by the operator.
Perform maintenance regularly. Have maintenance performed on your unit annually by trained technical personnel / a service engineer.
Observe error messages. You must observe error messages shown on the display. If the error message does not disappear even after you have performed the prompted action, contact our servicing team.
Once a week or after every forth water change:
Be aware chips gathered in the milling chamber
When milling models, a large number of chips collect in the milling chamber.
Each time a model block is milled, remove the chips from the milling chamber by hand.
Before removing them, squeeze the chips so that any stored water is released into the cooling circuit.
Do not confuse the block screw with the ball pressure screw
When operating a CEREC 3 milling unit and a CEREC MC XL Premium Package milling unit in the same room, be careful not to confuse the block screw of the CEREC 3 with the ball pressure screw of the CEREC MC XL Premium Package.
Using the tank cap opener
If you find the tank cap, tank drain or filter insert hard to open by hand, use the tank cap opener.
Wear of the ball pressure screw
The high clamping forces cause wear of the ball pressure screw.
Replace the ball pressure screw every 500 clamping operations.
Damage to the pump and milling drives
An excessively high ceramic and/or base metal content in the cooling water will damage the pump and milling drives. Change the water regularly.
When the water is due to be changed, a message window appears on your monitor to remind you that it is time to change the water.
Preventing odours
All milling additives contain a biologically degradable preservative. Despite this, however, odours may still develop under unfavourable conditions.
Observe the following:
Damage to surfaces
When undiluted, DENTATEC milling additive etches plastic surfaces and can cause discolouration.
Use only DENTATEC as a milling additive.
Change the filter inserts regularly.
Replace both filter inserts after every forth water change.
Procedure for all materials except for base metals
Foaming not permissible. If any cleaning agents are used, this will create foam, which is not permitted. Do not use any cleaning agents.
To change the water, make sure:
✔ The unit is switched on.
✔ No production/scanning process is running.
Then proceed as follows:
1. Pull out the water tank at the front of the unit.
2. Open the drain opening (D).
3. Empty two thirds of the water from the tank.
4. Close the drain opening (D).

11. Fill the tank with water until the filter inserts (A) are completely immersed (up to the bottom edge of the cover thread, approx. 3 litres).
12. Wait briefly until the filter inserts (A) are soaked full and add a corresponding amount of water.
13. Close the water tank by tightening the tank cap (B) clockwise by hand. Do not use the tank cap opener for this.
14. Push the water tank back into the housing.
Procedure for processing base metal materials
Observe the safety information from the material manufacturer.
Observe the safety instructions regarding occupational safety and disposal referred to in the material manufacturer's operating instructions.
Use a waterproof receptacle with a nominal volume of 10l as a collecting vessel for changing the water (e.g. a commercially available 10l plastic bucket). When selecting the collecting vessel, bear in mind that it will also serve as a transporting container for disposal and is not reusable.
Wearing protective waterproof gloves is recommended.
In mixed operation, the tank can be used with base metals and other materials. It is, however, recommended that you use an additional standard tank which is only used for processing base metal materials. Tank double filter with CS aperture, traffic white spare.
Ask your disposal company whether the filter waste needs to be correctly sorted for disposal.
Once the water has been changed, the collecting vessel will contain a mixture of base-metal slurry (in mixed operation, there will also be other materials) and water. The machining particles dispersed in the water will settle to the bottom of the collecting vessel within 24 hours, resulting in a clear separation between the water and the settled solid matter. The clear water can then be removed or siphoned off from the collecting vessel. The collecting vessel can be used until it is max. half-full of milling slurry (solid matter) or until the permitted weight for the collecting vessel used has been reached. 5l of correctly sorted base-metal machining waste corresponds to 40kg in weight depending on the basemetal alloy.
The external must not be used for processing base metal materials.
To empty the milling water and milling slurry, make sure:
✔ The unit is switched on.
✔ No milling process is running.
✔ A collecting vessel of approx. 10l is available.
Then proceed as follows:
1. Pull out the water tank at the front of the unit.
2. Pan the tank vigorously 5x in circular movements.
3. Open the drain opening (D). Tilt the tank so that no liquid escapes through the drain opening.
4. Close the drain opening (D) using your thumbs and pan the tank vigorously 5x in circular movements again.
5. Empty approx. 1/3 of the contents of the tank into the collecting vessel provided. Operating the spring-loaded inlet opening of the tank cap (B) allows the contents to flow out easily.
6. Close the drain opening (D) using your thumbs and pan the tank vigorously 5x in circular movements again.
7. Empty approx. 1/2 of the remaining contents of the tank into the collecting vessel provided. Operating the spring-loaded inlet opening of the tank cap (B) allows the contents to flow out more easily.
8. Close the drain opening (D) using your thumbs and pan the tank vigorously 5x in circular movements again.
9. Empty the residual contents into the collecting vessel provided.
10. Close the drain opening (D) with the screw cap.
1. Turn the tank cap (B) counter-clockwise and take it off.
