SprintRay Retainer Resin is compatible with SprintRay NanoCure

The opportunities for 3D printing – as well as for business growth and enhanced patient care are growing. Developments in the technology and related resins are constantly expanding applications, affording new and exciting treatment options for clinicians to use. As the only provider of 3D printing solutions dedicated to dentistry in the UK, SprintRay is driving innovation in the field.

Reshaping the possibilities

Revolutionising the field right now is the ability to 3D print SprintRay Retainers using a specially designed and totally unique direct-print retainer resin.

The one-of-a-kind solution is engineered for strength, comfort and clarity, optimising the patient experience. It is offered as part of a fully validated biocompatible system that enables clinicians to deliver custom-designed, excellent fitting retainers quickly, easily and with unwavering confidence. It is the latest offering from the SprintRay Biomaterial Innovation Lab, saving clinicians time and money, while elevating the standard of patient care. In fact, SprintRay Retainer supports same-day dentistry for an improved patient experience and enhanced satisfaction.

Further to this, the comprehensive digital workflow made possible by SprintRay maximises efficiency and cost-effectiveness, making dentistry more accessible and more affordable for a greater number of patients.

How it works

The SprintRay Retainer bypasses the cumbersome and time-consuming process of printing and thermoforming over models. It is used alongside the free AI Design Software on SprintRay Cloud Design, which facilitates retainer design and further optimises speed of treatment without compromising accuracy or predictability. Designs are received in just 5 minutes from the submission of scans, with the flexibility to both upper and lower arch designs available. No CAD is required, simplifying the professional sequence and accommodating a broad range of patient needs and preferences. The design is sent directly to the printer delivering increased speed and reduced waste – it’s that simple.

The four steps of the workflow are as follows:

  • Material selection – SprintRay Retainer is specially designed for exceptional retainer products
  • Print – the SprintRay Pro 2 3D printer utilises state-of-the-art technology to deliver fast, accurate and predictable solutions
  • Wash – the SprintRay ProWash S ensures maximum resin removal for an unmatched cleaning stage
  • Post cure – NanoCure is in a league of its own when it comes to curing and polymerising products that become as strong as they are aesthetic

The result is a SprintRay Retainer that features outstanding clarity, and mechanical properties, as well as a simple post processing workflow.

Get to know NanoCure

Unlocking next generation printed appliances, NanoCure supercharges the post processing workflow to deliver the triple-threat of unparalleled speed, power and material chemistry.

It utilises new 365+385nm LEDs and controlled heat to cure the 3D printed appliances without any nitrogen, optimising the biocompatibility and mechanical properties of the SprintRay Retainer. The extremely short cure times of NanoCure also enhance aesthetic outcomes by producing shades that are even closer to the shade guide, despite the material’s strength and biocompatibility. The advanced software facilitates seamless connectivity to SprintRay Cloud for integrated workflows. Boosting silent operation, the thermal regulation system keeps the curing chamber at the perfect temperature without affecting the professional or patient experience.

Packed full of innovation, NanoCure is the epitome of cutting-edge technology in the 3D printing arena. With no need for lengthy warmup times, it is always ready to work when you need it.

An ecosystem that affords confidence

As with all solutions in the SprintRay ecosystem, the SprintRay Retainer workflow is designed for optimal efficiency and excellent outcomes. It joins an array of innovations that support the entire 3D printing process for a wide range of clinical situations.

All products are also available alongside the support of a dedicated UK customer service team, who offer extensive experience and expertise in the field. They are always available to answer questions, troubleshoot cases, and advise on how practice teams can further streamline their 3D printing workflows and completely transform their patient care.

The latest direct-print retainer resin is just one example of how SprintRay is reimagining restorative dentistry. Find out more today.
