FDA CLEARS DENTCA’S 3D PRINTED DENTURES

"FDA Clearance Completely Revolutionizes The Denture Manufacture Process"

Following on from its recent approval of 3D printed drugs, the FDA has cleared a material used in 3D printing dentures for use with humans. DENTCA has received approval for a material it uses to 3D print the bases of dentures, opening the way for the company to offer its personalized dentures and baseplates to the world at large. Using a 3D scanner and its 3D printed denture process, DENTCA can produce perfectly tailored resin dentures directly from 3D models, basically automating the manufacturing process. The firm is now in a great position to capitalize on this news, but it won’t be long before other orthodontic companies follow suit.

Dr. Jason Lee, inventor of the process, believes the new 3D printable Denture Base “will eventually replace traditional heat-cured and autopolymerizing conventional denture making methods.” CEO Sun Kwon says “This clearance completely revolutionizes the denture manufacture process, which has barely changed in over 100 years. The new developments will create incredible possibilities for patients, as doctors will soon be able to 3D print final dentures at their office, allowing the manufacture process to be done in one day everywhere in the world.”
