On the heels of an FDA clearance for 3D printed PEEK cranial implants, OEM 3D Systems got clearance from the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for its multi-element monolithic (one-piece) jetted denture solution.
This solution consists of 2 distinctively created components NextDent® Jet Denture Teeth & NextDent® Jet Denture Base. It also has 3D Systems’ jetting tech & software services to enable the creation of durable & aesthetically pleasing dentures.
Ultimately, the firm incorporates FDA-based jetted denture solutions for dental labs to deploy dentures, resulting in a more improvised user experience. The leading restorative dental systems creator – Glidewell collaborated with 3D Systems got an initial solution-based preview, and started adopting their implementation protocols into its regular production workflow.
Stephenie Goddard, Glidewell’s CEO states, “We take great pride in pioneering the use of new technologies to enhance our products & services. We’ve worked with 3D Systems for many years, and using their digital dentistry solutions has helped us achieve tremendous success for our patients. As the first dental lab to operate 3D Systems’ new multi-material, monolithic jetted denture workflow, we look forward to implementing a significantly better denture solution for our customers and their patients.”
“With the FDA clearance of our jetted denture solution, 3D Systems continues to expand our market-leading digital dentistry solution portfolio. Replacement of teeth is a key pillar of our dental strategy, which is directly supported by this latest innovation. Our jetted denture solution reflects our commitment to the dental laboratory by offering a complete system that enhances automation and profitability within a traditionally labor-intensive workflow. This solution integrates hardware, software, materials, and process expertise, delivering a single print session a one-piece denture with hard, wear-resistant, aesthetically beautiful teeth with tough, durable gingiva properties,” says the VP & General Manager of 3D Systems, Neil McCaffrey.
He added, “Unlike other systems, our printer can produce a denture with true multi-material properties. With the growing use of digital imaging and personalized treatment planning in dental clinics worldwide, digitizing denture fabrication sets a new standard for creating robust, precise dental prosthetics that patients can truly see and feel. It’s a win-win-win for laboratories, dentists, and patients.”
3D printing plays a vital role in creating prosthodontics by accelerating its process to enable manufacturers & patients to increase productivity.
According to 360 Market Updates, the overall market value of global 3D Printed Dentures was anticipated to cross $1 billion in 2021 & is expected to reach over $2 billion during 2028.
3D System’s digital dentistry solutions allow dental labs & clinics to focus on dental system manufacturing while eliminating unwanted material wastage & reducing the capital investment demands.
