SprintRay Launches OnX Tough 2

The FDA-Cleared 3D Printing Resin for Implant-Supported Dentures Redefines Chairside 3D Printing Process for Dental Professionals

In a groundbreaking development for the dental industry, SprintRay has unveiled OnX Tough 2, the first and only 3D printing resin to receive clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the 510(k) category for fixed, implant-supported denture prosthetics. This significant milestone paves the way for high-quality, same-day smiles and represents a game-changer for dental professionals.

Chairside Revolution in Dentistry

OnX Tough 2 is a crucial element of a streamlined and efficient chairside 3D printing process, empowering dentists to create full arch, fixed denture restorations renowned for their exceptional toughness and lifelike translucency. When integrated into the SprintRay ecosystem, dental practitioners can now 3D print up to 10 fixed dentures in as little as 30 minutes. This transformation in the workflow allows for swift, same-day restorations.

Meeting the Growing Demand

The demand for implant-supported dental prosthetics is on the rise, with the market projected to reach a value of $11.54 billion in 2023. Unlike traditional removable dentures, fixed hybrid dentures, which are secured using implants, offer significantly improved stability, function, and patient satisfaction.

SprintRay CEO and co-founder, Amir Mansouri, PhD, highlights the significance of this development, stating, “Traditional processes for fixed, implant-supported dentures involve up to 6 patient visits and extensive fabrication time. This achievement, marked by the first-ever FDA clearance for a 3D printing material for fixed hybrid dentures, ushers in a new era of same-day restorations while upholding the highest clinical standards, allowing patients to enjoy the benefits of their new smile immediately.”

Innovative NanoFusion Technology

OnX Tough 2 is a product of the proprietary NanoFusion technology, a process that precisely suspends ceramic within the formulation, reducing the need for mixing. This enhances the structural integrity of printed restorations, making them exceptionally durable and suitable for demanding dental applications, particularly implant-supported dentures.

Available in shades Bleach, A1, and A2, OnX Tough 2 builds upon its predecessor resin, OnX Tough, by incorporating new pigments to enhance optical performance. These pigments facilitate precise shade matching and improved color stability. Additionally, the fixed dentures produced with OnX Tough 2 exhibit optimal radiopacity, making them suitable for imaging diagnostics, treatment planning, and monitoring patient healing and progress.

Simplifying the Fabrication Process

Implant-supported dentures can have a transformative impact on patients, improving their speech, chewing, facial balance, and aesthetics. However, the conventional fabrication process is time-consuming, resource-intensive, and labor-intensive, deterring many potential beneficiaries. Dr. Keith Klaus, an innovator in restorative, cosmetic, and implant dentistry, acknowledges the significance of FDA-cleared OnX Tough 2, stating that it “marks a watershed moment in the dental industry, simplifying the process and ushering in a new era of accessibility and convenience for providers and patients alike.”
