Get to know Implart’s dental 3d printers

It is well known that 3D printers have great versatility for making various objects. The good news is that 3D printing is now a reality in dentistry and is increasingly transforming the way treatments are carried out.

The 3D printing solution has been brought to dentistry to make aesthetic, fast and precise prostheses and restorations

ImplArt Odontologia is equipped with two of the most modern dental 3D printers: the Cerec System from the German company Sirona and the Ceramil Motion 2 milling machine from the Austrian company AmannGirrbach.

Both companies are world references in research and development of solutions in the area of Digital Dentistry.

Cerec Sirona System and 3Shape Trios

They are Cad/Cam systems capable of building various types of parts, for example prostheses, bridges, highly aesthetic crowns, dental restorations, ultra-thin dental contact lenses. They work in three main phases:

1 – Intraoral scanner: a high-precision camera that captures images of the inside of the patient’s mouth. It takes a digital impression, thus eliminating the need to use putty. We use two of the main intraoral scanners on the market, the Omnicam and the Trios 3Shape.

2 – Computer: we carry out planning with two of the main systems, Cerec 3D and 3Shape Dental System. The images captured by the intraoral scanner are used to design and simulate three-dimensional prosthetic pieces with shapes and shades according to each patient’s needs.

3 – 3D printers: a milling unit with a robot that sculpts the prosthetic part out of a rough ceramic block. The part is then taken to a kiln for the ceramic sintering process to give it strength.

ImplArt has the most up-to-date version ofthe Cerec system milling machine, the German Cerec Primemill 3D tooth printer. This milling machine has functions for faster production, which in many cases allows us to carry out your treatment in a Day Clinic. Primemill also makes crowns, bridges, dental lenses and restorations with a more refined finish and greater detail.

Versatility of 3D printers: the prostheses that can be made with the Cerec system are crowns, bridges, copings, onlays, inlays, dental contact lenses as well as copies of old restorations. Watch a video of the system in operation by clicking here.

Ceramill Motion 2 milling machine

It uses Cad/Cam technology to digitally produce dental prostheses in different materials such as zirconia, wax, metal alloy, resin, glass-ceramic and lithium disilicate. It has exclusive software for projecting and simulating prostheses.

Once the design is finalized, the system then sends the command to the milling unit to make the part.

The milling unit has robotic arms that carve the prosthetic part dry or irrigated.

Versatility: the prostheses that can be made on the Ceramill Motion 2 milling machine are crowns, frameworks for dental prostheses, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, dental contact lenses, individual abutments and telescopic crowns.

UltraCraft ChairSide Pro

The UltraCraft ChairSide Pro 3D printer has been designed to meet the production needs of dental applications with quality, high precision and speed, including being a resource for your dental day clinic treatment. Due to the digitalized workflow, UltraCraft helps the dynamics of the ImplArt dental laboratory and clinic, and above all generates satisfaction for our patients.

The use of scans creates more precise and durable crowns in a faster process than other production methods. In this sense, the UltraCraft 3D printer has further strengthened the ImplArt Dental Clinic‘s digital laboratory.

A digital project is drawn up to personalize the smile, designing all the technical and aesthetic improvements to the smile. Sites are planned for dental implants and prostheses, which can be single crowns, protocol prostheses or fixed prostheses. Dental contact lenses can also be planned.

Anycubic 3D printers

This is the Anycubic Photon 3D printer for printing teeth and various jobs in our in-house prosthetics laboratory. Some of the jobs that can be carried out on this dental 3D printer include:

• Myorelaxing plates – mainly used to treat bruxism. Their purpose is to reduce the intensity, strength and frequency of muscle tension when clenching or grinding teeth. It also protects the teeth from wear and fractures.
• Printing resin dental models similar to plaster models
• Artificial gum simulation and prototypes
• Study model prints
• 3D printing biocompatible teeth for provisionals
• Printing surgical guides for use in guided dental implant surgery
• 3D models for later casting
• Orthodontic aligners
