Tailored to patient needs
With wall thicknesses starting at 0.8 mm, Primeprint Splint ST and SF resins offer varying degrees of stiffness and flexibility to meet the unique needs of each patient case. The Primeprint Splint ST combines medium flexibility with medium stiffness, while the Primeprint Splint SF provides high flexibility and low stiffness, allowing for a comfortable fit and necessary support for patients who require more flexibility in their devices.
Both resins are free of harmful substances MMA, THF-MA and TPO and have a neutral taste and aroma. The post-processing results of these resins yield bright and transparent results, reducing the need for manual polishing.
Improved additive manufacturing workflow
According to Dentsply Sirona, they offer dental professionals an easy and transferable workflow for manufacturing adjuncts. The process begins with a scan, either with Primescan, Primescan 2 or a third-party scanner. From there, dental professionals have the flexibility to design their own devices using inLab CAD software, order designs from DS Core Create, or use their preferred dental lab.
When using DS Core Create design services, the splint design is delivered as a print-ready file within six hours. Once the design and print file are ready, the final steps include automated printing and post-processing using Dentsply Sirona’s Primeprint solution and manual finishing to ensure high-quality braces.
