V-Print splint comfort: Light-curing resin for the generative production of thermoflexible therapeutic splints

A high level of flexibility, longevity and stability, but also workability and t

Whether for bite elevations, whitening treatment or bruxism, dental splints are being used in increasing numbers for various purposes, and the requirements in respect of splint materials must satisfy the wishes of the dental and lab teams as well as those of the patients. A high level of flexibility, longevity and stability, but also workability and transparency, are only a few attributes of V-Print splint comfort.

 

It is not just that elaborately designed therapeutic splints are manufactured efficiently, reliably and in a reproducible manner in 3D printing processes. Dental technicians also wish for an almost odourless, easy-to-process printing material. Complaints due to chipping, cracks or improper fit are immediately reduced to a minimum thanks to the flexible material properties of V-Print splint comfort. Its inherent memory effect allows for recovery following deformation or heat effects, as may happen with steaming in the lab, for example. The finished splint may be quickly ground and polished in the dental practice, if required. Its high abrasion resistance makes V-Print splint comfort an ideal therapeutic tool for use with occlusal splints. 

 

But also its level of classification as a medical device is relevant in terms of long-term therapy. The classification of V-Print splint comfort as a class IIa medical device allows an unlimited period of wear.

 

For patients, however, the focus is more on comfortable wear and suitability for daily use. V-Print splint comfort produces very durable, thermoflexible splints that react to heat. The thermoflexible splint nestles against the intraoral tooth structures. It can be comfortably inserted and removed, requiring no effort. As a result of these properties, we obtain a customised splint that fits tension-free, without any bothersome pressing or pulling. Its high transparency makes for an inconspicuous splint and underscores the aesthetic claim of the material. The neutral taste makes it more acceptable for the patient to wear and thus contributes to the success of the therapy. The smoothly polished surfaces are easy to clean for the wearer and are very resistant to discolouration.

 

With V-Print splint comfort, dental laboratories and practices receive a product that meets all the requirements of splint therapy while achieving highest levels of customer satisfaction. At market launch, V-Print splint comfort is available for Asiga and Rapid Shape printers, alongside the SolFlex printers with PowerVat.
