VOCO America Launches Permanent Denture 3D Printing Resin

VOCO America has announced the release of its latest product, the V-Print dentbase, a cutting-edge 3D printing resin designed for creating removable permanent dentures. The new resin, which has received FDA 510(k) clearance, stands out in the dental industry due to its sedimentation-free formulation. Unlike many conventional materials, V-Print dentbase does not require shaking or rolling before use, making it a more efficient option for dental professionals.

According to VOCO America, this advancement is aimed at improving workflow in dental practices, offering a streamlined solution for producing high-quality denture bases. The resin’s biocompatibility and FDA clearance also highlight its safety and reliability for patients.

High Esthetic and Patient Satisfaction

The V-Print dentbase resin comes in a natural gingival shade, which helps achieve a realistic appearance for denture bases. VOCO America states that the material can be polished to a high gloss, enhancing the esthetic appeal and contributing to increased patient satisfaction. In addition to its visual properties, the resin is described as tasteless and odorless, adding to the comfort of patients wearing the dentures.

VOCO America highlighted the product’s strength during the production process: “The material features a high green state strength that ensures dimensional stability after removal from the platform,” the company noted. This means that the dentures maintain their shape and accuracy even after being printed, reducing the need for adjustments and minimizing waste.

Compatibility and Flexibility with Existing Systems

One of the key advantages of V-Print dentbase is its broad compatibility with other dental materials and technologies. It works seamlessly with all standard reline materials for repairs, including VOCO’s own award-winning Ufi Gel reliners. Additionally, it is compatible with resins used for characterization, offering flexibility in dental practices that require customizations to meet individual patient needs.

The resin has also been validated for use with a range of high-quality 3D printers, including well-known brands like Asiga, Dental Wings, RapidShape, Microlay, MiiCraft, Ackuretta, Shera, and Straumann. This extensive validation means that dental labs using various printer models can incorporate V-Print dentbase into their workflows without concerns about compatibility issues.

Seamless Integration with Digital Design Software

Further enhancing its appeal, V-Print dentbase is integrated with leading dental design software such as 3Shape and Exocad. This feature allows dental technicians to design and print denture bases with a high degree of precision and efficiency. The integration with popular software platforms simplifies the digital workflow, making it easier for dental labs to adopt the new resin into their existing processes.

With the introduction of V-Print dentbase, VOCO America aims to provide a reliable and versatile option for the production of high-quality, permanent dentures. The company believes that this innovation will set a new standard in the field of dental 3D printing, offering a combination of esthetics, patient comfort, and production efficiency.
