- Features FDA 510(k) cleared high-impact denture base resin, the first 3D printed ceramic-injected material for denture bases and certified biocompatible high-impact dental resin
- Utilizes proprietary, future-proof NanoFusion™ technology that suspends the optimal amount of ceramic, with minimal mixing, for superior denture strength and fracture resistance
- Introduces new, simplified treatment planning with SprintRay Cloud Design, making it easier for dental professionals to outsource their computer-aided design (CAD) workflow
LOS ANGELES, May 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — SprintRay Inc., a global leader in digital dentistry and 3D printing solutions, today announced that it has received 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its High Impact Denture Base, the first ceramic-injected denture for 3D fabrication and repair of full and partial removable dentures and baseplates. Designed for use with high-impact denture teeth, these high-performance denture resins are changing the paradigm of digital dentistry with advances in ceramic-injected 3D printing materials that offer strong mechanical properties. Using high-impact denture resins, the SprintRay workflow provides a seamless in-office fabrication process for removable dentures.
The global demand for dentures is increasing and projected to reach 3.1 billion dollars until 2032.1 In the United Statesabout 40 million adults are dentures, meaning they are missing all their teeth, and six million adults get new dentures every year.2 Traditionally, dentures are made using analog impressions that are sent to a lab, requiring anywhere from 4 to 6 patient visits and up to 3 to 4 weeks of waiting time. The advent of digitally produced dentures has enabled the speed and ease of in-office production, but the limitations of first-generation 3D resins in performance, strength, and durability have slowed their adoption. Now, SprintRay offers a complete digital solution combined with high performance resins to deliver strength and durability at speed
“SprintRay was founded on the promise of developing carefully curated, market-leading 3D printing solutions, and our high-impact denture ecosystem is a key example of that commitment,” said SprintRay CEO and Co-Founder. Amir Mansouri, Ph.D. “We wanted to ensure that, unlike 3D-printed or aged veneer first-generation denture solutions, dental professionals will not have to compromise strength, longevity or durability for speed and efficiency in the office. We sought to develop a solution that delivered on all fronts.”
Proprietary NanoFusion delivers high performance
SprintRay High Impact Base is the first 3D printed ceramic-injected material for dentures, meeting the market need for a strong and durable denture material. High Impact Base and Teeth resins are uniquely formulated with NanoFusion™, SprintRay’s proprietary approach to dental chemistry. Materials developed with NanoFusion™ have a new ceramic composition and form dense polymer chains to provide dental prostheses with better strength, longevity and durability compared to competing materials. NanoFusion™ allows the high-impact denture base and high-impact denture teeth to be infused with the optimal amount of ceramic to excel in fracture strength and wear resistance, outperforming 3D printed and milled competitive materials by multiple measures.
On-demand, custom denture design services
The SprintRay digital denture workflow was designed to solve critical issues commonly encountered with 3D printing and provide a complete end-to-end scan-to-print solution that includes design. Working with leading dental scanner manufacturers, patient data scans are easily transferred to SprintRay Cloud Design. This cloud-based platform provides high-quality, expert design services. Once design requests are submitted, design turnaround is 48-72 hours, drastically reducing time compared to traditional denture workflows.
With the launch of High Impact Resin, SprintRay now provides custom made-to-order denture design services for just $75/arch, eliminating the need for dental computer-aided design (CAD) software. Cloud Design will offer 3 esthetic options for full arch full denture designs, providing dentists with customized options to meet each patient’s unique esthetic and financial needs.
A fully integrated ecosystem
High Impact Denture resins are fully integrated into SprintRay’s industry-leading 3D printing ecosystem, including the Pro S 3D printer and advanced ProCure 2 and Pro Wash/Dry systems, allowing dentists to print a complete denture in <2 hours. In addition, this seamless workflow for the production of removable dentures offers optimal results for patients in just 2 visits.
“The new SprintRay High Impact Denture Base and Teeth is a huge leap forward in the strength, durability and longevity of the denture solution I can provide my patients,” said Dr. Andrew Johnson. “With the high-impact denture base and dental resin in my practice, I now have the combined value of high-impact materials without the challenge of curing and processing two separate, independent materials. I can produce durable, long-lasting, and beautiful dentures in much less time than the traditional methods”.
SprintRay will present details of this new workflow and materials ecosystem at the California Dental Association (CDA) Presents the Art and Science of Dentistry by 18-20 May 2023 in Anaheim, CA.
