Dentsply Sirona has enhanced the range of applications for its Primeprint Solution with additions to its resin portfolio. The new resins Primeprint Splint ST and Primeprint Splint SF have now been FDA and CE cleared. With these products Dentsply Sirona helps enable dental professionals to fabricate patient-specific nightguards and splints for a variety of treatments that fit precisely and provide a high level of biocompatibility, and supports them to advance with confidence. These splints are increasingly called for in dental practices, for example by patients with bruxism.

Manufacturing these nightguards with Primeprint Solution offers users numerous advantages in addition to the high degree of automation of the Dentsply Sirona 3D printing system. With a new innovative Primeprint Material Unit Type S and application specifically developed for print processes, the new splint solution reduces much of the manual work that would otherwise be necessary, such as time-consuming polishing. The results are already shiny after the post curing process and can be easily detached from the support structures.

Primeprint Splint ST and Primeprint Splint SF resins can be printed with thin wall thickness - starting at 0.8 mm. They provide different degrees of hardness and flexibility and can thus be selected according to the indication and the patient's needs. To provide optimal patient comfort they are free of MMA, THF-MA and TPO, allowing a neutral taste and scent.

The new resins are designed to be used in the Primeprint 3D printing system within various workflows. Dental professionals have the option to design themselves using inLab Software, order the design from DS Core Create or order it from their preferred dental lab. When using DS Core Create design services, the splint design is provided within the turnaround time of six hours as a ready-to-print-file. This allows for immediate production, making it easy to delegate the workflow to practice staff.
