Removable partial dentures (RPDs) are traditionally
handmade, which involves a labor-intensive process
that can often produce inconsistent results. In
addition, there is significant material waste and
finding appropriately skilled technicians is difficult. The
production process also entails an excessive number
of secondary processes. Finally, the only way to scale
up production is by adding manpower, adding to a
dental lab’s recurring labor cost.
An alternative means of producing RPDs is to use
3D printing to create the pattern, accelerating the
production process. Multiple frameworks can be 3D
printed at the same time, boosting productivity.
This Technical Application Guide presents the
steps to cast RPDs using PolyJet™ biocompatible
MED610™ material and Nobilium investment
casting materials. Download below.
