Instruction For Use
Intended use
NextDent Base is for dental professional use only and intended for the
manufacturing of denture bases to support artifi cial teeth to form full or
partial removable dentures.
Description & Effects
The product is an acrylic resin system, polymerized via a photo initiator in a
3D printer setting.
The product must be used in combination with VAT based 3D printers that
support NextDent resins. Printer and resin must be optimized to each other in
order to get complete and precise printed parts. Fit of the parts strongly
depends on design and library used. Please take features like undercuts and
spacers in consideration when designing the parts.
Performance characteristics
The product is compliant with the relevant performance requirements defined in
ISO 20795-1. The product is indicated for (partially) edentulous patients that
have been indicated, upon professional user’s decision, for placing removable
dentures.
Contra-indications
The product is contra-indicated for persons allergic to acrylics or acrylic
derivatives.
Warnings
-
Do not use when the package is damaged.
-
If visible gelation and polymerization of the resin in the 3D printer reservoir occurs, discard the print resin material and clean out.
-
Remaining resin in the 3D printer reservoir must not be poured back into the bottle.
-
Differences in color nuance may occur due to:
– production in batches
– inadequate shaking and mixing of the original packaging before use
– inadequate stirring in the resin tray garage before use
– insuffi cient post-curing -
If printer and resin are not optimized to each other this may have an adverse eff ect on the accuracy and physical quality of printed parts.
-
Wear UV protective glasses when operating the 3D printer and/or lightbox.
-
Use nitrile gloves when handling the NextDent resins up until the Finishing step.
-
Any deviation from this instruction for use may have an adverse eff ect on the quality of the product.
-
Vertex Dental is not responsible for any adverse eff ects, safety or performance issues when not following the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
-
Use the product before its use-by date.

gloves, eye protection, face protection. P302+P352 – IF ON SKIN: Wash with
plenty of soap and water. P305+P351+P338 – IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with
water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do.
Continue rinsing. P273
– Avoid release to the environment.
Safety Data Sheet is supplied on request.
Processing & Post-curing
Make sure that you work as clean as possible, dirty reservoirs or equipment
can cause deformation and therefore failure of the printed objects!
Shaking
Shake the bottle prior to use to obtain a uniform color.
Fill printer reservoir
Resin temperature must be between 18 and 28 °C/ 64 and 82 °F. Prevent exposure to (sun)light. Pour resin in 3D printer reservoir. If resin is stored in closed resin tray garage, stir resin before each subsequent use. Do not mix different batches of the same resin. Do not pour resin back into the bottle.
For printer settings see manual of 3D Printer
Follow 3D printer instructions for use (e.g. user guide NextDent 5100).
Remove printed parts from platform
When 3D printer program has finished, remove building platform from machine. Place platform on paper or cloth. Remove printed parts from platform with suitable tool. Do not remove supports of printed parts at this stage.
Cleaning printed parts – Step 1
Clean printed parts for 3 min. in ethanol (>90%) or isopropyl alcohol (>90%) to remove any excess resin using an ultrasonic bath, NextDent Wash or comparable wash-system.
Cleaning printed parts – Step 2
Clean for another 2 min. in clean ethanol (>90%) or isopropyl alcohol (>90%).
Total cleaning time in ethanol must not take longer than 5 min. This may cause
defects in printed parts.
Post-Curing
After cleaning and drying, printed parts must rest for 10 min. to ensure parts are free of ethanol residue. Place printed parts in UV-light curing box for fi nal polymerization (e.g. NextDent LC-3DPrint Box). Post-curing is an UV-light treatment to ensure NextDent printed parts obtain optimal polymer conversion; residual monomer is reduced to a minimum and required mechanical properties are obtained. This procedure is necessary to produce biocompatible end product. To obtain color/color stable cured parts, use prescribed curing time in table below.

Bonding of teeth
Bonding of artificial acrylic teeth to the printed part is possible, see
methods and table below for different types of teeth. Apply a little drop of
the bonding agent in the pocket before placing the teeth in the pockets. It is
advised to roughen the prefab and milled acrylic teeth before luting.
- Method A: Apply the artificial teeth before the post-curing process.
- Method B: Apply the artificial teeth after the post-curing process and polymerize the bonding agent according the instructions for use of the product.
Bonding table
Finishing
Remove any support structures and finish cured parts if necessary.
Finish the cured parts using conventional dental methods and instruments.
Cured parts should be cleaned with nonchemical products.
Storage and transport conditions
Close the packaging properly after each use. Store the resin in the original
packaging or in a closed resin tray garage, at room temperature in a dark
area. Do not expose to UV-light. Standard transport conditions apply to this
product. There are no restrictions for transport related to hazardous
substances.
Waste disposal
NextDent resins in its polymerized form are not environmentally harmful.
NextDent resins in its liquid state should be treated as chemical waste.
Special disposal requirements are applicable, check by your local, federal, or
other regulatory agencies for disposal requirements.
