Efficient. Precise. Reproducible.

Flexible and removable long-term temporary restorations have proven to be a valuable prosthetic solution in the past. They help make the time until the final restoration as comfortable and esthetic as possible, and free from complications by absorbing masticatory forces in clinically uncertain situations, particularly after surgical or periodontal treatments. However, to date, their production has been labor intensive, and the results have often been inconsistent and not reproducible. The digital workflow now makes it possible to cost effectively produce this type of flexible base with integrated retaining elements, using 3D printing with VITA VIONIC BASE RESIN FLEX.  

The digital process chain enables efficient, reproducible fabrication of multiple partial dentures in a single printing process, delivering significant time and cost savings in the laboratory. The flexible material is available in clear and pink translucent colors, offering patient-specific esthetics as the natural gingival shade can show through from underneath. The recommended duration of wear for the material is stated as up to 18 months.

Maximum flexibility in fabrication and application

Partial dentures made with VITA VIONIC BASE RESIN FLEX can be repaired and extended. In addition, the material is significantly easier to process and polish than traditional injection molding processes or filament printers. VITA VIONIC BASE RESIN FLEX can also be used as a bonding material to create chemical adhesion to the precisely fitting alveoli of the base, for both printed and milled teeth.

The new 3D printing material is the solution for offering customized and comfortable partial dentures with a flexible base in a cost-effective, efficient and state-of-the-art manner. Patients enjoy the benefits of a comfortable fit, metal-free esthetics and flexible adaptability to the clinical situation.
