Flexcera dental resins are FDA (510)k cleared, MDR certified,
and CE marked for 3D printed restoratives, such as provisional
implant supported dentures, veneers, crowns, bridges, inlays and
onlays, cosmetic snap-on smiles, and removables such as full and
partial dentures.
Flexcera for LuxCreo, offered on the iLux Pro Dental and
fastprint.io 3D printers, is now available for purchase in the
United States, United Kingdom, European Economic Area, and Canada.
Not all versions of Flexcera may be available in all of these
regions.
“We are excited to welcome LuxCreo into the Flexcera family –
which will enable this popular brand of dental printers to now
offer beautiful, high performance dental prosthetics,” said Lou
Azzara, President of Desktop Health. “Everyday, patients around the
world are being fitted with custom, affordable implants, dentures
and other dental prosthetics that are improving their lives.”
While LuxCreo offers resins for aligners, surgical guides, and
night guards, Flexcera now offers LuxCreo's users a premium range
of dental resins for restorative, cosmetic, implant and denture
applications that provide ideal aesthetic and mechanical
properties. LuxCreo is the only 3D printer manufacturer to offer an
end-to-end direct printed aligner solution for orthodontists via
its iLux Pro Dental and fastprint.io™ dental 3D printers.
The LuxCreo fastprint.io printer is ideal for dental offices
with a slightly smaller footprint and build area. Offered in
partnership with Glidewell, the largest dental lab in the world,
the system will now enable more patients to benefit from Flexcera
family resins.
“With Flexcera Smile Ultra+ and Glidewell fastprint.io 3D
printing solution in partnership with LuxCreo, our clinic can now
offer All-on-X restorations entirely in-house, providing patients
with durable, beautiful smiles in a single visit,” said Dr. Dane
Dudley DDS of Lompoc Family Dental in Lompoc, Calif.
Dedication to Flexcera 3D Print Quality
Desktop Health is committed to validating Flexcera family resins
only on 3D printers that can print the material with excellence and
patient-safe compliance. To date, that has included premium
high-powered DLP® printers that offer a 385 nm wavelength light
engine and deliver on other precision and surface finish
requirements.
Passing a suite of ISO testing, Flexcera-approved digital dental
workflows deliver accuracy of prints, mechanical properties, and
biocompatibility.
The first Flexcera family resins validated for LuxCreo systems
are:
- Flexcera Smile Ultra+ – used for permanent and
temporary, 3D printable dental restorations
- Flexcera Smile – used for removable 3D printable denture
teeth
- Flexcera Base Ultra+ – used for 3D printable full,
removable denture bases and partials
All Flexcera for LuxCreo resins are FDA 510(k) cleared, MDR
certified, and CE marked.
