Product catalog summary
Company Overview: Heimerle + Meule, established in 1845, specializes in precious metal dental alloys with over 90 years of expertise. Initially focused on refining precious metals, the company expanded into producing semi-finished products for various industries, including dental.
Core Business Divisions: The company operates four main divisions, with the dental division being the most significant. It is renowned for high-quality precious metal dental alloys, certified under DIN EN ISO 9001 and DIN EN ISO 13485 for medical devices.
Product Range: The product lineup includes precious metal alloys like PLATINOR®, AUROPLADENT®, ECONOR®, and BEDRA DENT®, designed for various dental applications and compliant with the German Medical Devices Act and European Directive 93/42/EEC.
Biocompatibility and Quality Assurance: Dental alloys' biocompatibility is verified through tests such as cytotoxicity, sensitization, and corrosion tests. Chemical composition and purity are analyzed batch by batch using spectroscopic methods to ensure consistent quality.
ecoNEM Alloys: These are non-precious, nickel-free, and beryllium-free alloys, ensuring high biocompatibility and anti-corrosive properties, suitable for various dental restorations and cost-effective alternatives to precious metal alloys.
Veneering Ceramics: Includes INSPIRATION, which can be used with ecoNEM alloys without an oxide bake, offering ease of use and stability during firing.
INSPIRATION Dental Ceramic System: Designed for veneering metal and zirconia frameworks, it includes materials like opaque pastes, body materials, shade bodies, stains, and glaze finishes, matching the VITA® shade system. Suitable for both precious and non-precious metal frameworks with a CTE of 13.8 to 14.8 x 10-6 K-1 (25 – 500 °C).
Procedures and Recommendations: The system involves applying opaque paste, body material, and stains to achieve a natural tooth appearance, with a glaze finish for a professional look. It is praised for ease of use, reliability, and compatibility with various Heimerle + Meule system alloys.
Technical Specifications: The INSPIRATIONpress system is designed for high-temperature press ceramics with a pressing temperature of 1080 °C, offering high fluorescence and compatibility with DUROCONT investment material for excellent fit and aesthetic results.
Key Features: Offers stunning shades, high translucence, excellent malleability, minimal shrinkage after firing, and stable CTE for trouble-free use even after multiple firings.
Additional Dental Materials: Includes PLATINA®m veneering ceramics, PLATINA®press ceramic systems, and Colorit® composite materials, each with specific technical specifications and applications.
Investment Compounds and Alloys: Various phosphate-bonded compounds for crown and bridge work, suitable for both precious and non-precious metal alloys, including ecoNEM series alloys.
Accessories and Consumables: Includes occlusion sprays, melting powder pellets, and contact adhesives for dental restorations.
Product Overview: Comprehensive list of dental and laboratory products, including adhesives, ceramic brushes, modeling wax, friction and retention elements, and various tools and accessories.
Promotions and Offers: Highlights promotions such as buying 10 brushes or friction elements to receive one free, and offers repair services for certain attachments.
Support and Services: Offers direct contact, fast delivery, technical support, professional development through training courses, and a two-fold guarantee with a five-year manufacturer's warranty.
Contact Information: Heimerle + Meule GmbH, located in Pforzheim, Germany, provides contact details for further inquiries and support.

Heimerle + Meule Group Solid gold Heimerle + Meule can look back on over 90 years of expertise in the development and manufacturing of precious metal dental alloys. Heimerle + Meule was founded as early as 1845. Forthree quarters of a century, the company's activities were devoted exclusively to the refining of precious metal from scrap and other precious-metal bearing waste products. Then the company seized the opportunity to extend its production range. The precious metal recovered during the refining process was alloyed in house, made into semi-finished products and supplied to the watchmaking...

PLATINOR®, AUROPLADENT®, ECONOR® and BEDRA DENT® There are many suppliers of dental alloys but only a few c p ­ om­ anies who can rely on the expertise of their own R & D and ­ roductions. Heimerle + Meule has been able to do this p for nearly a hundred years. Precious metal alloys of the highest quality The brand names PLATINOR®, AUROPLADENT®, ­ECONOR® and BEDRA DENT® stand for a range of products that covers all applications. The biocompatibility of Heimerle + Meule dental alloys is verified in close collaboration with independent research institutes. The following test procedures are used:...

Veneering ceramic This new innovative new glass ceramic material makes the build-up even easier: opaque + body material + stain = brilliant, reproducible single crowns and bridges. INSPIRATIONeasy presents the easiest solution for veneering precious and non-precious metal frameworks with a CTE of 13.8 to 14.8 x 10-6 K-1 (25 – 500 °C). In terms of aesthetics and technical properties, this system leads directly to the required result. In this case, directly means: no opaque dentine, no dentine, no incisal, just a body ceramic. The same material is used from the cervical margin to the incisal edge...
