To restore the normal chewing function of the oral cavity after tooth loss, fitting dentures has become a very necessary remedy. In order to make a beautiful and comfortable denture quickly and accurately, it takes nearly ten craftsmanship from making dental molds to casting, grinding and inlaying, and it takes five to seven days for a master with five years of rich experience. achieved.
If the sampling data of the dental model in the early stage is inaccurate, the shape and characteristics of the denture do not match the patient's gums. During the process of installing the denture, it is necessary to repeat the rework and modification, and wear it again and again. The technician may have to toss for several months before and after.
As a result, dentures are a nightmare for many people, requiring long waits and trial-and-error modifications to complete. The method to solve this problem requires the acquisition of accurate data and the accurate production of dental mold products in the early stage of dental mold production.
The traditional dental mold making technology is made of industrial wax. The wax mold is easy to shrink and deform during processing, and the shape of the wax dental mold changes, which will lead to the cast metal crown in the subsequent metal crown casting process. deformation will occur. Deviations caused by these factors are not easy to control and will result in high denture rework rates.
The emergence of 3D printing technology has provided a good solution to the above problems encountered in the dental field. PioCreat 3D printing technology company starts from the spirit of its own advanced 3D printing technology research and development and the spirit of 3D printing industry preachers; its brand PioNext has developed a set of effective 3D printing denture mold solutions for the production of dental dentures , and is committed to promoting the development of the entire denture manufacturing industry.
The "DJ-89" light-curing 3D printer was launched by PioCreat in May 2021 for 3D printing dental molds for dental dentures. "DJ-89" is equipped with advanced 3D laser data scanning equipment, which systematically integrates oral scanning, oral image processing and 3D printing technology. Adopting "image digital acquisition and reconstruction, CAD/CAM professional design, standardized 3D printing manufacturing, standardized implant treatment" and other technical system integration, a complete set of 3D printing denture mold solutions is formed.
The advantages of the PioNext DJ-89 printer in the manufacture of dental molds are: the printing accuracy is very high, which can reach the micron level. The surface of the dental mold after printing is smooth and does not need to be polished during processing. Fast printing speed and very competitive price. In the alloy jewelry industry, it can be directly applied to the film pressing, which is more efficient and more perfect than the traditional manual. High precision is directly applied to the lost wax process to make gold and silver jewelry. The easiest 3D printer to operate.
Compared with traditional dental mold making, the PioNext "DJ-89" 3D printed dental mold has been qualitatively improved in terms of accuracy, production efficiency, customization, and production cost.
1. High precision of dental mold forming
PioNext "DJ-89" 3D printed denture dental mold adopts photosensitive resin and DLP digital light molding, and the molding size reaches 192mm*120*100mm. The dental mold has higher molding accuracy, good surface effect and ABS-like performance. It can fully meet the molding requirements of high precision of dental mold, high surface quality, and high matching degree of gum environment.
The dentures cast using the "DJ-89" printed dental molds are accurate in size, and have a good "seamless" fit with the patient's gums, and there is no foreign body sensation, which greatly improves and improves the comfort of wearing dentures for patients. This is exactly the new experience brought by 3D printing technology for dental treatment.
2. The dental mold forming speed is fast and the efficiency is high
The traditional denture processing process mainly relies on the personal skills and experience of dental technicians, which is a kind of labor-intensive work. "DJ-89" 3D printed dental mold is more efficient than traditional denture processing methods that rely heavily on manual labor due to its fast curing and forming speed and high efficiency.
"DJ-89" digital dental technology replaces a lot of manual labor with scanning, software, and automated processing equipment, and promotes the transformation and upgrading of denture processing from a labor-intensive industry to a technology-based industry; thus, the production speed has been greatly improved, greatly improving Productivity.
In the factory, an old master with five years of experience works non-stop for 8 hours a day, and can make about 150 dental molds. Using the current "DJ-89" light-curing dental 3D printer, he can print about 30 teeth in an hour. Mold, 240 pieces can be produced in 8 hours. Each machine works for 8 hours a day, and it can produce about 6,000 dental molds a month. Ten machines can produce 60,000 dental molds a month.
3. The dental mold can be customized
Based on oral 3D laser scanning imaging technology, the "DJ-89" 3D printer brings the efficiency of digital oral technology to the production stage. Using a combination of oral scanning, CAD/CAM design, and 3D printing, dental laboratories can accurately and quickly produce crowns, bridges, dental models, aligners, and more for a range of dental products.
Therefore, the dentist uses the oral cone CT to scan the patient and obtain the image of the tooth surface, which can be customized according to the individual needs of the patient's dentures, and can quickly manufacture personalized and small-scale dental models.
The traditional denture wax film is processed on a lathe, and the lathe does not stick closely, and the efficiency and low cost are high. "DJ-89" 3D printing effect: The dentures cast from the 3D printed dental mold are relatively close, the dental mold forming efficiency is high, the cost is low, and it can be customized.
Dental implants can create a personalized dental mold according to the shape of the face or other teeth to cast the crown, which achieves the best overall coordination and aesthetics, and has strong retention and stability.
4. the production cost of dental mold 3D printing is low
The traditional denture manufacturing method first requires a dental impression, and then makes a plaster model based on it. A series of complex procedures, coupled with a very high price, has not yet become the mainstream of aesthetic teeth and the first choice for popular dental restorations.
Traditional denture production may take a week to obtain accurate data on the dental model; for crown prosthesis produced from a processing factory, it only takes ten minutes to obtain accurate dental model data. will get it done. Greatly shortens the manufacturing cycle time and thus reduces the manufacturing cost.
The advantage of 3D printers replacing labor is that the quality of products is highly controllable, and people are greatly affected by experience and emotional factors, which are uncontrollable factors, and product quality is often affected by these factors; This kind of benefit, the only cost is the purchase cost, material cost and maintenance cost, which is much lower than the labor cost. A machine can work 24 hours a day without rest, which is impossible for humans. In terms of production efficiency and workload, it is unmatched by humans.
Dentistry has entered the era of 3D printing, which has greatly improved the production capacity of dental molds, higher product accuracy, and better compatibility; that is, simple and fast, low cost, improved efficiency, and reduced processing costs.
Potential market opportunities and market prospects of "DJ-89" light-curing dental 3D printer in the dental field
At present, China's dental treatment market is about 60 billion yuan, and it is growing at a growth rate of 25% every year. my country's annual dental implant volume is only about 100,000, while South Korea's annual dental implant volume reaches hundreds of thousands, and Italy's annual dental implant volume reaches 1.2 million with a population of 60 million. Related, but once 3D printing technology is widely used, the cost of dental implants will come down.
