3D Systems’ NextDent Jetted Denture Solution is the industry’s first digital workflow for producing multi-material monolithic dentures. Using two separate materials that are ideally formulated for the properties of denture bases and teeth allows dental laboratories to create monolithic dentures with unmatched durability and stunning esthetics.

Employing MultiJet Printing technology, this solution delivers superior-quality dentures in fewer manual steps, streamlining production while reducing costs.

“After trying the new NextDent 300, I cannot see the future of any dental lab without one of these in each and every one,” said Joshua Williams, general manager of GPS Digital RPD. “From my perspective, this printer checks all the boxes twice. You save so much time not having to assemble your dentures in multiple parts and don’t need to use caustic solutions to post-process them.

“The NextDent Jet Teeth and NextDent Jet Base materials have so many color-mixing options to give a great lifelike appearance. Most importantly, the finished dentures bounce when dropped in the sink as opposed to shattering.”

Wiliams continued: “3D Systems makes it so easy with supports that melt off and a simple dust-free wash to remove the bit of residue before pumicing and polishing. We produced a batch of 15 dentures and found this workflow to be very streamlined — 300 percent faster than doing dentures with an analogue workflow and 120 percent faster than using a resin printer to print the dentures in two parts (base and teeth separately).”

Commenting on his laboratory’s experience of the NextDent Jetted Denture Solution, Joshua Jakson, president of Evolve Dentistry, said: “As the use of digital dentistry workflows continues to accelerate, digitally fabricating dentures using 3D-printing technology is becoming the standard mode of manufacturing. For Evolve Dentistry, it is important for us to stay consistent and have a process that we can truly scale with.

“Because of the NextDent 300’s post-processing workflow, we are able to nail the mark every single time. The consistency of the printer is outstanding! We have had no failures so far, and the materials are next level compared to competing materials on the market.

“Our clientele completely notices the difference. We are looking forward to a long collaboration with 3D Systems and are excited to see where the future will take us.”

The NextDent Jetted Denture Solution provides a faster, more cost-effective and highly scalable alternative to traditional denture fabrication, enabling better business outcomes for laboratories and improved results for patients.
