Fast and Efficient Dental Crown Production

Temporary dental crowns can be produced in two distinct methods: using handcraftable resin or digital scanning followed by 3D printing of the crown. Dental crowns are commonly produced restorations that technicians and dentists make every day. Each crown is custom-made for a patient's smile.

Manual Fabrication and ChairSide Crown Fabrication

The traditional process of producing dental crowns is the handcrafting method. However, this method is not as accurate as newer digital processes and can be quite expensive. Using 3D digital scans to produce a crown is becoming more popular than handcrafting because it can create crowns of equivalent accuracy and durability at a faster rate than other production methods. The quick printing turnaround is ideal for low volume production in dental clinics. Recent advancements in 3D printing technology, digital workflows, and dental materials have made high-volume production possible.

Handcrafting Dental Crowns

Disadvantages

Handcrafting dental crowns requires the patient to keep their mouth open throughout the entire process. This includes shaping, curing, trimming, and polishing. The overall time for this procedure lasts half an hour. It can be incredibly uncomfortable and time-consuming for patients and dentists alike.

3D Printing Dental Crowns

Data Scanning & Collection

Digital 3D printing is more efficient and accurate than handcrafting dental crowns. The first step is taking a partial scan of the patient's mouth.

HeyGears Cloud

The next step is customizing the crown to fit the patient's teeth. This step is completed with HeyGears cloud. Our dental designers are available 24/7 to assist in customizing and designing a crown for individual use.

3D Printing

Once the design is complete, you can 3D print your crown and wash it to ensure no additional material residue is left over. The next step is curing the crown to achieve its highest possible material strength and help it become more stable. This step only takes about 3 minutes. Once done, the dentist inserts the crown into the patient's mouth to see if it fits. The dentist then cures the crown again with a UV light, ensuring the adhesive sticks and stays inside the patient's mouth.

Temp C&B UV 2.0 is the material of choice for 3D printed crowns and bridges.

· High Printing Precision

· Abrasion Resistant

· Natural Color Tones

· Color Tone Stability Over Time

The overall time for handcrafting a crown takes a half hour, while 3D printing a crown takes about 26 minutes. The difference is the experience the patients have. Their mouth must be open for the entire handcrafting process. During a 3D printed crown fitting, the patient only needs to have their mouth open for 5 minutes. This completely changes a patient's dental visit into a more enjoyable and relaxed experience..
