Ivotion Base Print is the first 3D printing material for permanent applications[1] in Ivoclar’s product portfolio. The product was developed to meet the highest demands in dental prosthetics. It is ideal for the fabrication of denture bases for removable full dentures. Ivotion Base Print impresses with its PMMA-like quality, enabling the fabrication of durable, long-lasting and esthetically pleasing denture bases. The material not only provides excellent wearing comfort and high accuracy of fit but also allows for efficient fabrication, significantly optimizing workflows in dental labs and between labs and practices. After extensive research, Ivoclar has successfully developed a product without TPO and BAPO. Esthetically, Ivotion Base Print excels with three different shades, allowing for precise customizations to meet various patient needs. Moreover, the material exhibits low stain and plaque affinity[2], resulting in esthetically appealing and durable dental prostheses. After a decade of success with the Ivotion Denture System, Ivoclar now expands its offering with Ivotion Base Print, adding a printing solution alongside its milling solutions. This further strengthens the Ivotion Denture System’s leading position in digital denture fabrication.
The SprintRay Pro 2 is the latest high-precision 3D printer designed specifically to meet the requirements of dentistry. The printer stands out for its enhanced precision and efficiency. Thanks to its innovative, patent-pending Optical Panel technology and a 385 nm light source, the Pro 2 achieves an XY resolution of 35 microns, ensuring exceptional accuracy. In addition, it impresses with its efficiency: In a single print cycle, more than six complete dental arches can be 3D printed. With the innovative Arch Kit, its printing speed can even be doubled, allowing dental practices and laboratories to work faster and more efficiently. The SprintRay Pro 2 supports more than 15 different indications, including the fabrication of models, fixed restorations, occlusal splints and dentures. Its user-friendly design features a 12-inch touchscreen, automatic detection of the resin tank and build platform and an intelligent workflow control system to prevent errors. With its high printing speed and ability to produce biocompatible dental appliances, the SprintRay Pro 2 is an ideal solution for users who prioritize precision and efficiency.
The validation of Ivotion Base Print for the SprintRay Pro 2 marks a significant milestone in the partnership between SprintRay and Ivoclar, highlighting their shared commitment to high-quality and innovative digital dental solutions. The close collaboration between the two companies further enhances the digital workflow in dentistry, providing users with a seamlessly integrated solution that combines state-of-the-art 3D printing technology with premium materials. Ivoclar printing profiles are available for the SprintRay Pro 2 in North America, with additional markets to follow in the near future.
