Zortrax Dental

🇵🇱 Miło nam poinformować, że w trakcie tegorocznej edycji Formnext, największych targów poświęconych technologiom addytywnym, po raz pierwszy zaprezentowaliśmy drukarkę 3D Zortrax Inkspire 2 Clinical. Urządzenie oraz dedykowane oprogramowanie Zortrax Clinical Suite były dostępne dla odwiedzających stoisko Zortrax w dniach 15-18 listopada.

Przedstawione rozwiązanie służy szczególnym zastosowaniom medycznym w wielu dziedzinach, takich jak np. stomatologia i ortodoncja. Obecnie firma Zortrax jest w trakcie procesu walidacji wysokiej jakości żywic do druku 3D, które będą kompatybilne z drukarką. Materiały te dostarczają najwięksi światowi producenci żywic fotopolimerowych kierowanych do sektora medycznego. Kilka przykładowych wydruków 3D wykonanych na drukarce Zortrax Inkspire 2 Clinical można było obejrzeć podczas targów we Frankfurcie nad Menem.

🇬🇧 We are pleased to announce that during this year’s edition of Formnext, the largest trade fair dedicated to additive manufacturing technologies, we presented the Zortrax Inkspire 2 Clinical 3D printer for the first time. The device and dedicated Zortrax Clinical Suite software were available for visitors to see at the Zortrax stand on November 15-18.

The presented solution is used to serve specific medical applications in many fields, such as dentistry and orthodontics. Currently, Zortrax is in the process of validating high-quality 3D printing resins that will be compatible with the printer. These materials are supplied by the world’s largest producers of photopolymer resins for the medical sector. Several sample 3D printed made on the Zortrax Inkspire 2 Clinical could be seen during the event in Frankfurt am Main.

Digital dentistry offers a solution favorable for both dentists and patients, as it reduces the costs and time needed to make bridges, guides, and other intraoral devices. In a recent survey, over 10% of American patients admitted that lower prices would make them switch their dentists. In the future, dentists may need to upgrade to a more digital workflow to keep their patients. More about the survey results ⬇️

Why do patients switch dentists? - Dentistry Criticism dished out by dentists and lower costs are just some of the reasons why patients switch dental practices, according to survey.

Technologia żywicowego druku 3D wykorzystywana przez Zortrax Dental jest szeroko stosowana i sprawdzona w stomatologii cyfrowej. To znaczy, że istnieje mnóstwo rzetelnych artykułów naukowych opisujących różne aspekty jej wykorzystania w praktyce dentystycznej. Nie trzeba więc dochodzić do wszystkiego metodą prób i błędów. Na przykład, opublikowana niedawno w American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics ciekawa praca, omawia, jak wybór wysokości warstwy i kąta ustawienia modelu na platformie roboczej wpływa na dokładność drukowanych modeli stomatologicznych.

Zachęcamy do przeczytania pełnego artykułu. Będziemy też informować o kolejnych pracach naukowych, które pomogą wykorzystać pełny potencjał technologii oferowanych przez Zortrax Dental.

Resin 3D printing technology used by Zortrax Dental is widely adopted and proven in digital dentistry. This means there is a significant bulk of peer-reviewed research covering various aspects of using it in dental practice, so you don’t need to figure everything out on your own. For example, there’s a great work recently published in American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics that offers a detailed insight into using different layer heights and build angles to achieve a desired accuracy of 3D printed dental models.

Read the full paper linked below to learn more about it and stay tuned - we’ll be highlighting other quality research papers that can help you get the most out of Zortrax Dental 3D printing solutions.

How do you think - is digital dentistry still the future? 🤔 It is becoming more common, and we think it will soon become a mainstream service provided by dentists. If you're planning to implement 3D printing in your office soon, definitely follow us, and stay tuned!

In the meantime, here's an interesting take on the topic, presented by Paul Abrahams on the Dentistry website ⬇

Is digital dentistry still our ‘future’ or is it mainstream?- Dentistry Is digital dentistry still our ‘future’, or is time to make it mainstream? Paul Abrahams questions why practices haven't digitised?

Dental 3D printing resins, just like other medical devices, belong to various classes 💡

Zortrax Dental 3D printer can work with the class I and IIa biocompatible resins. Class I materials are cleared for transient contact with a human body. Class IIa resins are safe for longer contact with human tissue and can be used to print temporary crowns and bridges. Of course, Zortrax Dental 3D printers can work with materials that do not require biocompatibility, like resins used for diagnostic models or castable patterns.

3D printing is more cost-effective, flexible and faster than traditional manufacturing techniques in dental applications. Zortrax Inkspire 2 Dent 3D printer requires lesser investment than 5-axis CNC machines, and can make multiple different designs simultaneously. According to peer-reviewed research, 3D printers are just as precise as traditionally-used dental tools.

In 2018, the research team based in Netherlands published a paper which compared precision of dental crowns made on a 5-axis CNC machine and on a resin 3D printer. The 3D printed crowns achieved mean internal gap in the range of 66 microns to 149 microns. These results were better from the ones obtained with the CNC machine!
