Resin for 3D printer VITA VIONIC® BASE IMPACT Translucent Pink 1kg

VITA VIONIC® BASE RESIN IMPACT – Modernity, Durability and Precision in One Product

The main advantage of VITA VIONIC® BASE RESIN IMPACT is its exceptional impact resistance. In practice, this means a significant reduction in the risk of cracking or breaking the denture base as a result of everyday stresses and unfortunate events, such as dropping the finished work onto a hard surface. This material has a balanced mechanical property profile, consisting of high flexural strength and an optimised modulus of elasticity. It is these characteristics that make dentures made from this material durable and resistant to the cyclic loads that occur during chewing. An additional advantage for the patient is low plaque adhesion, which translates into high wearing comfort and easier hygiene of the prosthetic restoration.

Application and Aesthetics: Two Colours for Perfect Results

The resin is intended for the generative manufacture of dental denture bases. To meet the aesthetic requirements of patients, the manufacturer offers the material in two colour variants: classic pink and translucent pink. This approach allows the base to be perfectly matched to the natural colour of the patient’s gums, which is crucial for complete and partial dentures, where aesthetics play as important a role as functionality. The transition to a digital workflow using VITA VIONIC® also means excellent polishing properties, allowing a high gloss to be achieved with minimal effort, which further enhances the aesthetics of the final product.

Excellent Processability and Production Efficiency

From a laboratory perspective, VITA VIONIC® BASE RESIN IMPACT is synonymous with efficiency. The material has a short printing time, which allows for faster order fulfilment and increased throughput of 3D printers. Low polymerisation shrinkage guarantees high fitting accuracy, which minimises the need for time-consuming adjustments during the patient fitting stage. The material’s efficiency is impressive – it is estimated that approximately 50 denture bases can be printed from 1 kg of resin, although the actual number depends on the density of the support structures and the careful management of the material in the printer tray. The table below shows the approximate number of objects that can be obtained from bottles of different weights:

It is worth noting that these data are based on average denture base designs and may vary depending on the specifics of the CAD/CAM system and slicing software used.

System Compatibility and Device Validation

The safety of the medical process requires the use of only proven and validated solutions. VITA VIONIC® BASE RESIN IMPACT is compatible with a wide range of the most popular 3D printers and post-curing devices. Validated printers include ASIGA systems (Max/Mini, Max 2, Ultra, PRO 4K), Carbon 3D M2, Formlabs Form4B, Phrozen 4KSonic, Rapid Shape (ONE, PRO, D20+, D30+, D50+ series), as well as Straumann P Series and Shining 3D (AccuFab L4D/CEL). The print finishing process should be carried out in certified units such as Asiga Cure, Dreve PCU LED N2 or NK Optik Otoflash (models G171 N2 and 250). The use of validated devices guarantees that the finished medical product will meet all declared physical parameters and biocompatibility.

The material is a mixture of acrylic and methacrylic resins with auxiliary substances. The main ingredients include ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate (40-60%) and 7,7,9(or 7,9,9)-trimethyl-4,13-dioxo-3,14-dioxa-5,12-diazahexadecan-1,16-diylbismethacrylate (20-40%). This advanced chemical formula ensures optimal polymerisation rate while maintaining dimensional stability.

Repair, Relining and Characterisation Options

Unlike some rigid printed systems, bases made from VITA VIONIC® BASE RESIN IMPACT can be successfully relined and repaired. This process requires roughening the surface and then applying cold-curing plastics such as Schütz Dental Futura Gen pink opaque or Merz Dental “Weropress pink”. Furthermore, the material has been tested for compatibility with soft liners such as Molloplast® B (laboratory variant) or Mollosil® plus (chairside variant). For maximum realism, the resin can be characterised with VITA AKZENT® LC composite stains, which have been fully validated for use with this system.

Health and Safety at Work (HSW)

Working with light-curing resins requires the user to maintain high safety standards. VITA VIONIC® BASE RESIN IMPACT is classified as a substance that is irritating to the skin (H315) and eyes (H319). It may also cause an allergic skin reaction (H317). When working with this material, it is essential to use personal protective equipment: protective gloves, goggles or face protection and protective clothing. The material is toxic to aquatic organisms (H411), therefore unused resin and rinsing water must be disposed of in accordance with applicable hazardous waste regulations. In case of skin contact, immediately wash the area with plenty of soap and water and consult a doctor if irritation occurs.

Logistics and Transport: International Safety Standards

The product is classified as an environmentally hazardous material (UN 3082) for land, sea and air transport. It belongs to hazard class 9 and packaging group III. Thanks to strict compliance with ADR/RID, IMDG and IATA standards, the material reaches the user in safe packaging that minimises the risk of leakage. In air transport, the permissible quantity per package is up to 450 litres, which allows for efficient supply of even the largest milling and printing centres. Each package is marked with appropriate pictograms informing about environmental and health hazards, which is proof of the transparency and responsibility of the manufacturer – VITA.

Questions and Answers (Q&A)

1. What exactly does the term “impact resistance” mean in relation to this resin?
Impact resistance (measured by fracture work) indicates how well a material absorbs shock and kinetic energy. High impact resistance reduces the risk of the denture base cracking under stress or in the event of a fall.

2. Can dentures printed with this resin be lined with soft materials?
Yes, the resin has been successfully tested with materials such as Molloplast® B (laboratory method) and Mollosil® plus (direct method in the dental practice).

3. How many denture bases can be obtained from one kilogram of resin?
Approximately 50 denture bases can be printed from 1 kg of VITA VIONIC® BASE RESIN IMPACT, depending on the number of support structures and printer settings.

4. What colours is the resin available in?
The material is available in two aesthetic shades: pink and pink translucent.

5. Is the resin compatible with milled or prefabricated teeth?
Yes, the system is optimised for use with printed (VITA VIONIC DENT RESIN), milled (DENT DISC multiColor) and prefabricated (VITA VIONIC VIGO) teeth.

6. What are the recommended bonding gaps for different tooth combinations?
For printed and milled teeth, 150 µm is recommended, while for VITA VIONIC VIGO teeth, the optimal gap is 100 µm.

7. Can VITA VIONIC® BASE RESIN IMPACT be repaired?
Yes, bases made of this material can be repaired using standard cold-curing polymers after mechanical roughening of the surface.

8. Which 3D printers are validated for use with this material?
The list includes ASIGA Max/Ultra, Carbon 3D M2, Formlabs Form4B, Rapid Shape (D series) and Straumann and Shining 3D systems.

9. Can the denture base be characterised with stains?
Yes, VITA AKZENT® LC light-curing composites, which have been validated for use with this material, are recommended for characterisation.

10. What are the main health and safety risks when working with uncured resin?
The resin is irritating to the skin and eyes (H315, H319) and may cause allergic skin reactions (H317). Always wear gloves and safety goggles.
