Unlike traditional contoured zirconia, these advanced nanohybrid options offer dental professionals a unique restorative material that is more affordable, highly aesthetic, and long-lasting. Specifically indicated for posterior 3D printed ceramic crowns, nanohybrid zirconia delivers the strength and durability necessary to withstand the higher occlusal forces typically experienced in the back of the mouth. With chairside 3D print solutions, dentists can now fabricate ceramic-infused resin crowns directly in their practice, drastically reducing both turnaround time and costs. This efficient, cutting-edge process produces high-quality, resilient crowns in just a single appointment, providing patients with an immediate, aesthetic, and durable restoration solution for their posterior teeth.
Begin by prepping teeth and follow recommended occlusal clearance guidelines. Once completed, use a dental scanner to capture a digital scan of the patient’s preparation. For crown preparation cases, ensure you scan the crown prep, the targeted arch, the opposing arch, and the bite.
Using the design software of your choice, input recommended design considerations to generate the ideal crown design.
Make necessary adjustments to tooth anatomy, contacts, and occlusion for optimal marginal fit and function.
Once you have completed the crown design, nest the restoration using the associated printer software, following recommended guidelines for optimal orientation and support structures for printing accuracy and efficiency. Once complete, export the print job file to the 3D printer. Next, fill the resin vat with Rodin Sculpture 2.0 and initiate the print job.

After the print is complete, remove restoration from build plate. Remove supports from the restoration and follow manufacturer instructions for use for wash and post-processing procedures.

Prior to final curing, make adjustments to contacts, contours, and occlusion as needed. For best chemical bonding, apply Rodin Palette and N2-Free Glaze in uncured state and post cure according to manufacturer's recommendations.

Seat crown and check for correct fit. Begin by removing the crown, then apply Rodin EtchPro to the prepared surface. Rinse thoroughly and follow with a dentin primer like Rodin Sensiguard. Next, apply Rodin Bond universal adhesive, paired with Rodin Luting Cement for optimal bonding results.
Rodin Sculpture 2.0 stands out for its high flexural strength, exceeding 200 MPa, in addition to its ceramic filler content of over 60%, making it exceptionally durable and resistant to wear and fractures. These features ensure long-lasting, resilient restorations, with a natural aesthetic that blends seamlessly with surrounding teeth. Its compatibility with various 3D printing workflows and qualifications for insurance reimbursements also allow for easy integration into your practice.
