BERLIN, Germany: Digital dental technologies are changing the way that dental technicians work, and attendees of the 2024 Digital Dentistry Show in Berlin heard that long-perfected analogue techniques are providing a strong foundation for the ongoing digital transition. At the event, which took place over the weekend, BEGO, a specialist in the development of dental 3D-printing materials, presented its latest products to an audience of dental technicians, including a prosthetic restoration solution that it says achieves the same standard of aesthetics and function as conventional complete denture fabrication does.

Ansger Volke, master dental technician and digital implant solutions specialist at BEGO, told attendees that the company prides itself on developing innovative dental technologies that are rooted in the analogue tradition that has shaped the character of dental prosthetic treatment solutions. Volke introduced the audience to VarseoSmile Crown plus, a ceramic-filled hybrid material for 3D printing permanent restorations that holds advantages for both dental laboratories and practitioners. 

Referring to extensive scientific studies that are available on the company’s website, Volke explained that laboratories stand to benefit from the accuracy, reproducibility and versatility that VarseoSmile Crown plus provides. Printed restorations can be adapted and repaired outside the patient’s mouth while maintaining stability or reprinted entirely, owing to the low material cost. The material has been specially adapted to dental applications, enabling practitioners to easily grind and polish printed prostheses using their usual tools. 

Because it achieves scientifically proven high bond strength with commercially available luting agents, VarseoSmile Crown plus can be easily and securely fixed in the patient’s mouth and requires only minimal preparation of the contact surfaces. 

Volke said that a structured digital workflow helps to align innovation with tradition, providing a high degree of efficiency and safety for the patient. “The message is, just go for it,” Volke said.
