Dental machine tool

Abstract

The invention relates to a dental machine tool, in particular a dental milling machine (), having a tool () that is changeable in particular via a tool bank (), and a workpiece holder () for receiving a workpiece such as a dental blank made of ceramic, composite or plastics material such as PMMA, and having a housing () which is closable during machining by the machine tool, and having a negative-pressure connection to the housing (). At least one air nozzle () that is fitted on or in the housing () is directed towards the workpiece and/or the workpiece holder () and/or the tool () and/or the tool bank () and/or a pane of a front flap of the machine tool. Said air nozzle () is equipped with at least one electrode for generating an electric field in the region of the nozzle or in front of the latter, and at least one nozzle comprising at least one electrode is directed towards that side of the workpiece or of the workpiece holder () on which the tool () machines the workpiece. At least two electrodes of an ionizer extend in a spaced-apart manner over a substantial part of the housing (), and as a result of the application of an in particular pulsating AC voltage provides spatial deionization of the air flowing through the housing () and/or deionization of the surfaces of the workpiece, workpiece holder (), tool () and/or window () and of the chips produced by the machining operation.
