Dental labs and practices print study and working models, surgical guides, splints and night guards, temporary crowns and bridges, and castable patterns. A dental printer, the right resins, and a disciplined wash and cure process make that reliable.
Printers
Dental printers use LCD or DLP projection to cure each layer at once, so print time depends on height rather than how many parts are on the plate. High-resolution screens resolve margins and fine anatomy, and larger platforms batch whole arches.
Resins by application
- Model resins for study, working and implant models.
- Surgical guide resins, transparent and rigid.
- Splint and night guard resins in hard and flexible versions.
- Temporary crown and bridge resins in shades.
- Castable and wax resins that burn out cleanly for casting.
Validated workflows
Biocompatible resins are only biocompatible when printed, washed and post-cured exactly as the manufacturer specifies on compatible equipment. Follow the instructions for use for each resin, and record lot numbers for traceability.
Clinical decisions are the responsibility of the treating professional.
