03569 Dental 3D Printing Resin
Instructions
Printer compatibility 385nm (UV)
Introduction:
The following instructions for use are for dental professionals who use Asiga
DentaBASE as a material for denture bases. This instruction for use also
provides information about safety and environmental aspects. In case more
information is needed, contact the reseller.
Intended Use:
Asiga DentaBASE is intended exclusively for professional dental work.
Asiga DentaBASE is a 3D print resin intended for the manufacturing of 3D-
printed denture bases.
The denture bases produced are suitable for dental indications including
removable dentures.
Description, Indications & Effects:
Asiga database is intended to be used in combination with DLP-based 3D
printers (i.e. Asiga Max Series or Asiga Pro Series) that support Asiga
resins. The printer and resin must be optimized with respect to each other in
order to produce complete and precise printed parts. If the printer and resin
are not optimized with respect to each other this may have an adverse effect
on the accuracy and physical quality of printed parts. DLP-based 3D printers
and post-curing lightboxes make use of a light source to polymerize the Asiga
resin. Therefore, operators are advised to wear UV protective glasses when
operating a 3D printer and/or lightbox. 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 database resin before use;
insufficient post-curing.
Contra-Indications:
Asiga DentaBASE should not be used for any other purpose than as a 3D print
resin for the manufacturing of printed denture bases. Any deviation from this
instruction for use may have an adverse effect on the chemical and physical
quality of the Asiga database. In case of an allergic reaction, please contact
a medical physician.
Hazard & Precautions:
Please refer to the Asiga product safety data sheet for the database. For
material SDS or technical assistance, contact your Asiga resellers or open a
support ticket in your account online

Processing & Post-Curing:
Ensure the 3D printer is clean prior to use, including the imaging area and
any optical surfaces. Ensure the material tray is clear of solid debris prior
to commencing a print. The presence of solid particles in the resin may cause
deformation or failure of the printed objects. Nitrile gloves should be worn
at all times when handling Asiga liquid resins up until the finishing step.
Avoid contact with skin. If contact with skin occurs, wash thoroughly with
cold soapy water. If contact with the eyes occurs, remove any contact lenses
and flush with cold water and seek immediate medical assistance.
Mixing Before Use:
In Bottle: Agitate/shake the bottle vigorously prior to pouring for at least
one minute.
In Material Tray: Stir material with a soft spatula. Take care not to damage
the film of the Material Tray.
This step is necessary to re-disperse the (possible) pigment sediment from the
bottom of the vessel.
Color deviation and print failures may occur if insufficiently mixed.
Fill Material Tray:
Ensure the temperature of the resin is between 15 and 30°C / 59 and 86°F and
prevent exposure to direct sunlight. Pour the resin into the material tray of
the 3D printer.
Printer Settings:
Asiga DentaBASE is optimized to build parts using light with 385nm wavelength.
For Printer Settings, See the manual or user guides of Asiga 3D Printers
(Asiga Max Series or Asiga Pro Series).
Ensure the film of the Material Tray is clear of any debris before starting
the print.
Ensure you are using the latest file. You can access the latest material in
file for this material in your Asiga account online here:

Washing:
Wash parts in IPA 98%+ pure (Isopropyl alcohol) in a well-ventilated area.
Best results are achieved when using a pre and post-wash.
- Using an ultrasonic cleaning device:
– Pre-wash bath: 2 minutes.
– Post-wash bath: 2 minutes.
Important: Ensure a dedicated bath is used for this material. Do not wash
in baths that have previously been used for other materials. Allow parts to
dry thoroughly before post-curing.
Post-Curing:
- After washing and drying, let the rest of the printed parts for at least 30 minutes to ensure that the printed parts are free of alcohol residue.
- Place the printed parts in the UV curing unit “NK Optik Otoflash G171” for 2000 flashes.
- Turn parts over and allow to cool.
- Cure for a further 2000 flashes. Total: 4000 flashes (2 x 2000 flashes on each side). Post-curing is a UV-light treatment to ensure that DentaBASE printed parts obtain optimal polymer conversion. Through this, the residual monomer is reduced to a minimum and the required mechanical properties are obtained. We advise the use of the NK Optik Otoflash G171 post-curing box. Place parts inside the G171 Otoflash chamber on the support mesh, do not use a plastic tray inside the chamber. Inert gas is not required. Please see NK Optik Otoflash G171 user guide.
Soaking:
After post-curing, soak DentaBASE parts in fresh drinkable water for 60
minutes.
**Storage Conditions, Expiry Date & Transport:
**
Store the resin in the original packaging at room temperature in a dry, cool
and dark area. Close the packaging after each use. The expiry date of the
product is mentioned on the product label along with the lot number.
Store on the printer for up to 4 weeks with the hood closed or store in a
bottle for up to 24 months in a cool dark place. The product performance is no
longer guaranteed once the expiry date is exceeded. 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:
Asiga resin in its polymerized form is not environmentally harmful and thus
can be disposed of in the general waste. Asiga resin in its liquid state
should be treated as chemical waste. Special disposal requirements are
applicable, check with your local, federal, or other regulatory agencies for
disposal requirements.
Delivery Units:
Asiga DentaBASE is available in 1 color only: Pink, 1kg.
