Ceramic Crown 3D Printing Ecosystem

The Ceramic Crown 3D printing ecosystem is a complete solution for chairside delivery of ceramic dental restorations. This 3D printing ecosystem is designed to equip dental professionals with all the tools—hardware, software, materials, and technical support—for efficient chairside crown fabrication. The ecosystem introduces SprintRay’s Ceramic Crown dominant resin, which has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for 3D printing of full and partial crowns and veneers. This resin features a breakthrough ceramic-dominant formulation made of more than 50% ceramic material. Using advanced machine learning, the Ceramic Crown 3D printing ecosystem features crown design services powered by artificial intelligence, according to the company.

What makes this platform so innovative

The system includes the SprintRay Pro S Crown Kit, a new compact build platform and resin tank designed to print multiple single-unit crowns. Compatible with the SprintRay Pro S 3D printer family, this technology reportedly harnesses the power of heat and hard-anodized aluminum to deliver crown prints in 10 minutes. The Ceramic Crown 3D printing chairside workflow is optimized for complete delivery to patients in less than 45 minutes.

Smile Architect™

This treatment planning software from Invisalign® works in ClinCheck® and combines orthodontic and restorative treatment planning into a single platform. Designed to allow treatment plans to start with the ideal outcome and work backwards to design predictable, comprehensive clinical plans that focus on preserving healthy tooth structure. The application also allows clinicians to present patients with detailed visuals of the planned outcomes to enhance both communication and treatment acceptance. This comprehensive approach saves time and allows clinicians to use both orthodontic and restorative techniques to deliver the best possible functional and esthetic patient outcomes.

Why this is a key tool for patient acceptance

Visualization makes it easier to show patients what their potential smile may look like after treatment, enhancing treatment acceptance. The platform includes tools such as Tooth Mass Analysis that can be used to help patients understand how prerestorative alignment can enable a minimally invasive treatment approach.
