The application of 3D printing in the medical industry is gradually gaining recognition from the government. Just last week, ZipDose, a 3D printing tablet developed by pharmaceutical company Aprecia using this technology, has just received certification from the FDA. Today, another company based in DENTCA in Los Angeles, the 3D printing material used to make denture bases is FDA 510(K) certified.
It is understood that this material can be made into a denture base by using a 3D printing process based on SLA technology. This material has passed all tests required by the FDA for cytotoxicity, irritation, genotoxicity, sensitization, acute toxicity, etc., and the biocompatibility of material characterization is in accordance with FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1 and International Standard ISO. 10993-1.
“After several years of development, DENTCA's new 3D printing base is finally ready for use. We are very excited to start using this technology and are excited to promote the development of denture manufacturing.†DENTCA's technology founder Dr. Jason Lee said, “It is a photocurable resin material that can be used to make or repair dentures and bases. Using this material to 3D printing dentures will eventually replace traditional thermal curing or automated polymerization methods. With the help of precision 3D printers, our manufacturing process can make dentures faster and more accurate."
“This certification will revolutionize the manufacturing process of dentures, knowing that it has had little substantive change in the past 100 years,†explains Sun Kwon, CEO of DENTCA, “as a doctor, Can print 3D disposable dentures directly in their office. The benefits for patients are unprecedented."
Together with high-quality 3D printing materials, DENTCA's technology enables dentures to be manufactured 2.5 times faster than traditional methods. Specifically, the company combines CAD/CAM technology with 3D printing. This method can avoid human error, and can greatly shorten the number of visits and visits of patients before receiving dentures, and can reduce the manufacturing cycle of dentures from 30 days to 5 days.
It seems that 3D printing dentures or bases can be considered to be on the right track. I believe that in the unwilling future, more medical applications will be combined with 3D printing, bringing unprecedented convenience to our lives.
