FDA’s approves 3D Systems’ NextDent Denture 3D+

3D Systems’ NextDent 3D+ line of dental materials has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA. The NextDent Denture 3D+ is a biocompatible Class IIa material which is designed to print multiple types of removable denture bases. When a final denture is created using NextDent C&B MFH and NextDent Denture 3D+ on the NextDent 5100, it will be considerably less time consuming and expensive than if the denture was created using an analogue method.
Vice President of 3D systems, Rik Jacobs, said: “With 3D Systems’ Digital Denture Workflow, dental laboratories and clinics are now able to produce dental devices at dramatically increased speed while reducing material waste and capital equipment expenditure as well as reliance upon milling centres. FDA clearance of NextDent Denture 3D+ is the last piece that creates a trusted end-to-end workflow, giving prosthodontists a competitive advantage while improving the patient experience.”
