Dental Resin

What is dental resin for 3D printing?

It is a photopolymerizable material specifically designed for dental and laboratory applications. It solidifies under UV light and allows the creation of models, surgical guides, temporary restorations, and dentures with high precision.

What applications are dental resins used for?

Depending on the type, resins can be used for:

  • orthodontic models,

  • surgical guides,

  • temporary restorations,

  • dentures and denture bases,

  • gingiva masks,

  • castable parts.

What does “biocompatibility” mean and why is it important?

Biocompatibility ensures that the material can be safely used in contact with human tissue without causing adverse reactions. Many dental resins are certified according to medical standards (e.g., CE, FDA, Class I or II).

How do I choose the right resin for my project?

It depends on the purpose:

  • transparency for surgical guides,

  • strength and aesthetics for temporary restorations,

  • elasticity for gingiva masks,

  • precision for orthodontic models,

  • easy cleaning for water-washable resins.

What are the key parameters of dental resins?

  • polymerization shrinkage,

  • dimensional stability,

  • impact and wear resistance,

  • water absorption,

  • compatibility with the 3D printer.
