3D Systems’ NextDent Jetted Denture solution aims to address all major facets of dentistry to straighten, protect, repair and replace teeth.
Approved last year by the FDA, the solution is now available for commercialization in the USA. Built for jetted, monolithic (one-piece) dentures, it utilizes multiple materials in a single printing process to deliver a durable, long-wear, aesthetically beautiful prosthetic to the patient.
As summarized by 3D Systems’ President and CEO, Dr. Jeffrey Graves, “Our consistent investment in this revolutionary dental technology has culminated in an outstanding denture product, delivered to the patient much faster and with better manufacturing economics, to meet the rapidly growing demand for essential dental care over a patient’s entire lifetime. FDA-cleared, and manufactured to the highest quality standards, dental professionals can stand behind this product with the confidence that they are providing the best care in meeting their patients’ unique needs each day.”
Foundational to 3D Systems’ NextDent Jetted Denture Solution is the new NextDent 300 MultiJet 3D printer. This unique printer enables rapid production of patient-specific dentures that are fully cured and safe to handle without the need for additional post-curing steps.
To complement the NextDent 300, 3D Systems’ materials scientists developed two very special dental materials, NextDent® Jet Teeth and NextDent® Jet Base. When used in the NextDent 300 printer, these FDA-cleared materials deliver the desired tooth rigidity and gum support, with both having outstanding aesthetics, along with a denture toughness that helps assure dental professionals and patients alike that the dentures will not experience premature failure due to an unexpected drop in the sink or on the floor when removed.
