Agreement would enable dental labs to use Stratasys TrueDent™ denture solution with VITA certified tooth shades to dramatically improve denture aesthetics

VITA Zahnfabrik H. Rauter GmbH & Co. KG, a pioneer in tooth shade precision, dental prosthetics and technology, and Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS), a leader in polymer 3D printing solutions, recently announced they plan to offer VITA’s certified, industry-leading tooth shades and prosthetic expertise within Stratasys’ TrueDent monolithic 3D-printed denture solutions. The combination would provide dental laboratories with an upgraded digital color workflow and promote higher efficiency in creating digital dental appliances. 

TrueDent is a new FDA-cleared (Class II) dental resin made specifically for the fabrication of dental appliances, including removable dentures. It is used exclusively with the Stratasys J5 DentaJet® 3D printer. 

VITA Zahnfabrik and Stratasys: a forward-looking partnership 

Combining Stratasys’ solution for dentures with VITA’s certified tooth shades and prosthetic know-how would enable dental labs to more efficiently produce a large number of personalized restorations in the same print job. Labs would be able to print aesthetically accurate full-arch dentures with VITA’s shade standards, color gradients and structures to meet the restoration requirements in a completely digital workflow. 

"We are thrilled to develop this partnership with Stratasys to bring our expertise in dental prosthetics and aesthetics to the table. Leveraging their unique multi-material jetting technology and advanced software features, customers would be able to select VITA certified tooth shades and produce a large number of personalized, highly aesthetic full arch restorations in the same print job ," said Dr. Emanuel Rauter, CEO of VITA Zahnfabrik.
