Pac-Dent Rodin Sculpture Resin: Developed for modern
dental restorations, the Pac-Dent Rodin Sculpture Resin introduces
a new all-on-x solution for long-term provisionals on the Carbon
platform. This resin promises premium precision, aesthetics, and
strength. This resin is particularly noteworthy for being the first
in Carbon's lineup that is FDA 510k-cleared for all-on-x temporary dental
appliances, offering a nanohybrid ceramic formulation for lifelike
permanent restorations. Additionally, it is the first permanent
crown material to contain over 50% ceramic filler, meeting
requirements for updated ADA insurance code reimbursements: D2740,
D2630, D2644.
Desktop Health Flexcera Base: Following the successful
validation of Flexcera Smile Ultra+ restorative tooth resin,
Flexcera Base joins Carbon's portfolio as the latest innovation in
denture base materials. This resin is designed for creating
high-impact denture bases, combining optimal fracture resistance
with excellent aesthetic quality. Both Flexcera Base and Flexcera
Smile Ultra+ are FDA-cleared, ensuring that dental labs can
confidently offer reliable permanent and temporary solutions to
their customers.
Keystone Industries KeyGuard: Keystone Industries brings
to the Carbon platform the Keystone KeyGuard, a material crafted
for high-quality, custom-fit mouthguards. This addition offers
dental professionals the opportunity to design sports mouthguards
digitally with custom variable wall thicknesses to provide comfort
and protection to the end user. This resin brings yet another
valuable application to Carbon's premium resin portfolio.
