There’s a Resin for That

Like any profession, dentistry has evolved with the times—from paper files to voice-activated charting, film x-rays to 3D scans, and impression materials to single-visit crowns. And now, 3D printing has taken center stage, promising practices expanded treatment capabilities, time and cost efficiencies, and greater control over dental applications like crowns, splints, night guards, models, and orthodontic devices.

Luckily, manufacturing quality 3D printing resins is one of Whip Mix’s core strengths. Here are a few:

Splints

Most often used to provide support, stability, or protection to teeth and their surrounding structures, dental splints can be a godsend for patients with bruxism, clenching, or TMJ issues. A fully biocompatible, FDA-cleared resin material for fabricating rigid and durable dental splints, VeriSPLINT OS quickly prints and produces accurate, high-quality, and economical oral appliances. In fact, users can 3D print on a full-build platform with up to 4 splints in under 1 hour—at the cost of just $5 to $6 per splint.

Surgical Guides

For those who prefer using a surgical guide for implant placement, there’s VeriGuide OS, a Class I resin material developed for producing high-precision surgical guides. Successfully treated for biocompatibility, the resin features an easy post-processing method and produces highly accurate surgical guides with a high-quality surface. It can be sterilized by autoclave, steam, ethylene oxide, or gamma rays without affecting dimensional stability or biocompatibility.

Dental Models

VeriModel OS Ivory offers not only a high-quality surface finish and extreme precision for dental models, but it also can be used in any open source 385-nm or 405-nm printer. It offers a wide variety of applications, including highly accurate working and presentation models for crown and bridge, prosthetics, and orthodontic work. It offers reliable accuracy, fine detail, and a beautiful, natural ivory color.

Also available is VeriModel OS Golden Brown, a methacrylate-based 3D print resin made specifically for 3D printing dental models and removable dies. With an easy-to-clean, smooth, matte surface, it has high-detail resolution, sharp margins, low shrinkage, and long-lasting toughness, with an esthetic golden-brown color that provides a visual contrast that makes it easy to see margins and anatomical details.
