Flexcera Smile Ultra+ dental resin is an FDA (510)k cleared, MDR
certified, and CE marked resin for 3D printed restoratives, such as
crowns and bridges, and removables, such as dentures. Now this
popular and versatile material is indicated for implant-supported
denture provisionals, which is commonly referred to as an
“All-on-X” prosthetic. The “X” is a patient-specific variable for
how many implants are supporting the denture.
All-on-X provisionals are increasingly a popular same-day
dentistry solution for implant specialists and dental laboratories
as use of intraoral scanners and computer aided design in dentistry
has grown, enabling rapid design and manufacturing. Available in
six natural tooth shades and in two bottle sizes, Flexcera Smile
Ultra+ has become a go-to product for provisionals as it prints
quickly and accurately – giving patients a beautiful, functional
smile as they heal for their final restoration.
A full set of Flexcera upper teeth arches costs a fraction of
other handmade or milled solutions on the market. A single kilogram
bottle of Flexcera Smile Ultra+ delivers up to 50 affordable
All-on-X arches. This allows dental professionals to print multiple
copies and personalize the patient shades, delivering next-level
patient care.
Flexcera Smile Ultra+ is validated for 3D printing on the
following dental printers:
- Desktop Health® Einstein, Einstein Pro XL, EnvisionOne, and
D4K
- Asiga® Max UV, Max 2, Ultra, and Pro 4K
- Carbon® M series dental 3D printers
Print time for a full set of Flexcera Smile Ultra+ arches is
about 20-30 minutes depending on case requirements and printer
used.
Flexcera Smiles a Popular All-on-X Solution
Dental labs and dentists say Flexcera provisionals satisfy an
important need for patients.
“We print All-on-X provisionals with Flexcera Smile Ultra+ all
day to meet the demand of our digital doctors,” said Frankie
Acosta, Owner and Dental Technician, at AA Dental Design, in
Murrieta, Calif., which specializes in All-on-X cases and caters
only to the digital dentist. “Flexcera printed on Einstein is fast,
accurate, is easy to finish – and looks great.”
Dr. Rami Jandali, a board certified Prosthodontist at Amazing
Smiles in Southfield, Mich., is able to offer patients with missing
or damaged teeth, who struggle with eating and smiling, a same-day
service that allows them to walk out of his office with a full set
of fully functioning teeth. “We are in the business of changing
people’s lives," Dr. Jandali said. “Being able to offer chairside
printing while the patient is still in the chair is very achievable
with Desktop Health 3D printing workflows. For our practice, it’s
game changing.”
Dr. Bruce Smoler of Smoler Smiles in Westland, Mich., also uses
Flexcera resin 3D printed on an Einstein desktop printer every day
to deliver same-day smiles to patients who require new teeth. “The
patient experience is better,” Dr. Smoler said. “The turnaround
time is vastly superior and the ability to know right away how a
case will look is just remarkable. All of these factors have
boosted our case acceptance rate by at least 50% in full arch cases
and 20% in single unit crowns.”
