What is “electrophoresis?” 
 

Electrophoresis:  An advanced class of electrokinetic phenomena;  migra-tion of suspended ceramic particles to deposit them on a workpiece;  discovered in 1809 by Reuss of Moscow University; high-tech applications by the Institut für Neue Materialien, Saarbrücken, Germany; applied technology Wol-Ceram electrophoretic dental CAD/CAM system by Wolz-Dental-Technik, Ludwigshafen, Germany; enhanced Wol-Ceram high resolution nano-process applications by Bio-CAM, West Palm Beach, Florida.

 Crack propagation in Wol-Ceram micro-crystalline alumina, spinell and alumina-yttria-stabilized zirconia cores is primarily transangular-blocked – this creates an opportunity for dental laboratories to produce virtually trouble-free all-ceramic crowns and bridges.
