SprintRay Introduces Ceramic Crown, FDA 510(k) Cleared for 3D Printing of Definitive Full and Partial Single Crowns and Veneers
-
Defines a new class of high quality ‘Ceramic Dominant’ resin clinically formulated with more than 50% ceramic filler for high quality, durable dental restorations
-
Part of a fully integrated, optimized chairside 3D printing workflow optimized for design to delivery in less than 45 minutes
LOS ANGELES, February 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — SprintRay Inc., an industry leader in digital dentistry and 3D printing solutions, today announced the U.S. commercial launch of the Ceramic Crown 3D Printing Ecosystem — an end-to-end solution that transforms the delivery of same-day, next-day ceramic dental restorations on the chair .
“Our new Ceramic Crown 3D Printing ecosystem is the first of a new generation of single-appointment workflows from SprintRay that will change the way restorative treatment is delivered to patients,” said SprintRay CEO and Co-Founder Amir MansouriPh.D.
“Dental crowns are one of the most common restorative dental procedures dentists perform, but conventional fabrication methods require multiple patient visits and seat time.” Dr. Mansouri emphasized, “Our system now allows a complete end-to-end definitive crown to be fabricated in less than 45 minutes, providing tangible financial benefits and saving time for both patients and providers.”
This complete dental 3D printing ecosystem equips dental professionals with all the tools — hardware, software, materials and 24/7 technical support — for highly efficient chairside crown fabrication.
A new era in hybrid ceramic resin
This ecosystem introduces SprintRay Ceramic Crown, a new 510(k) Class 2 ceramic master resin cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the 3D printing of definitive full and partial single crowns and veneers. This resin features an innovative Ceramic Dominant formulation consisting of over 50% ceramic material.
Earlier this year, the American Dental Association (ADA), which oversees the Code of Dental Practice (CDT), amended the definition of ceramic materials, opening the door to mainstream 3D-printed ceramic restorations.
“The SprintRay Ceramic Crown marks a new era of 3D printed definitive chairside restorations,” he said. August de OliveiraDDS, a leading educator in digital dentistry with a private practice in Encino, CA. “It defines a new premium resin class designated as Ceramic Dominant for high-quality and durable dental restorations. Based on the 2023 updates from the ADA, these Ceramic Dominant 3D printed restorations are now qualified for submission to dental insurance providers using the more Common CDT codes previously reserved for zirconium or lithium bisilicate. This will greatly impact the development of 3D printing and digital dentistry in general.”
Automated crown design, powered by AI
Using advanced machine learning and optimization, the Ceramic Crown 3D Printing ecosystem features artificial intelligence (AI)-powered Crown Design Services, a service available 24/7 and delivered in minutes.
Designed for workflow speed
The Ceramic Crown 3D Printing ecosystem includes the SprintRay Pro S Crown Kit, a new compact build platform and resin tank designed to print multiple single-unit crowns with maximum speed and efficiency. Compatible with the SprintRay Pro S 3D family of printers, this innovative technology harnesses the power of heat and hard anodized aluminum to deliver crown prints in just 10 minutes. Combined with AI design in minutes and ultra-fast post-processing with SprintRay ProCure 2, the workflow on the Ceramic Crown 3D printing chair is optimized for full delivery to patients in less than 45 minutes.
“The SprintRay Ceramic Crown 3D chairside printing solution represents a paradigm shift in digital dentistry,” he said. Paul Zhivago, DDS, FACP, Assistant Clinical Associate Professor of Prosthodontics at NYU College of Dentistry. “Until now, chairside fabrication of crowns has been limited to in-office milling, requiring significant, sometimes 6-figure investments from dental offices. With the SprintRay solution, dental providers can now fabricate a range of applications from night guards to crowns and everything in between , transforming dental economics through time and cost savings far superior to in-situ milling.”
SprintRay will present details of this new technology to dental professionals for the first time at 158uChicago Dental Society Midwinter Meeting February 23–25, 2023 and LMT Lab Day February 23–25, 2023. More information about SprintRay events can be found at www.sprintraychicagoevents.com
