OnX Tough 2 is part of an integrated, streamlined 3D printing chairside workflow enabling dentists to produce full arch, fixed denture restorations with unparalleled toughness and lifelike translucency for high-quality, same-day smiles. With OnX Tough 2 and the SprintRay ecosystem, dental professionals can 3D print up to 10 fixed dentures in 30 minutes.
The need for implant-supported dental prosthetics is on the rise, with the market expected to grow to $11.54 billion in 2023.1 Unlike conventional removable dentures, fixed hybrid dentures are secured using implants, substantially improving stability, function, and patient satisfaction.2
"Traditional processes for fixed, implant-supported dentures involve up to 6 patient visits and extensive fabrication time," SprintRay CEO and Co-Founder Amir Mansouri, Ph.D., expressed, "We were convinced there had to be a chairside approach. This achievement, marked by the first-ever FDA clearance for a 3D printing material for fixed hybrid dentures, ushers in a new era of same-day restorations while upholding the highest clinical standards, allowing patients to enjoy the benefits of their new smile immediately."
New Chemistry for Dentistry
OnX Tough 2 was formulated using proprietary NanoFusion™ technology, a process that suspends the optimal amount of ceramic in the formulation, which minimizes mixing. This process enhances structural integrity, making restorations printed with OnX Tough 2 exceptionally tough and suitable for demanding dental applications like implant-supported dentures.
Now available in shades Bleach, A1, and A2, OnX Tough 2 builds upon the chemistry from its predecessor resin, OnX Tough, and is formulated with new pigments for enhanced optical performance. These new pigments deliver high-precision shade matching and improved color stability. Fixed dentures printed with OnX Tough 2 have optimal radiopacity for imaging diagnostics, treatment planning, and monitoring healing and progress.
"Implant-supported dentures can be life-changing for patients, improving their speech, chewing, facial balance, and aesthetics, but the fabrication process is time-, resource-, and labor-intensive, deterring many from them," said Keith Klaus, DMD, an innovator in restorative, cosmetic, and implant dentistry with a private practice in Flowood, MS. "FDA-cleared OnX Tough 2 and a streamlined 3D printing chairside workflow marks a watershed moment in the dental industry. It simplifies the process and ushers in a new era of accessibility and convenience for providers and patients alike."
SprintRay will present details of this new technology at the American Academy of Implant Dentistry Conference, November 1-4, 2023. For more information about OnX Tough 2, visit sprintray.com.
