Introducing our Lucitone® Printed Dentures — a cutting-edge solution that brings the power of 3D printing technology together with clinical efficiency and aesthetic excellence. Designed for today’s modern workflows, these high-performance dentures deliver unmatched strength, accuracy, and consistency, while still retaining the flexibility to work with both digital and analogue records.
Crafted using the Lucitone Digital Print™ system, these dentures are engineered with a revolutionary material that offers up to 3x the strength of traditional acrylics. The result? A printed denture that not only fits precisely and looks natural, but also provides enhanced durability for long-term wear and patient confidence.
Every Lucitone denture is digitally designed for optimal accuracy, ensuring a precise fit tailored to each patient’s anatomy. The digital process minimises chair time, improves turnaround speed, and allows for seamless reproduction — ideal for both clinicians and patients seeking convenience without compromise.
These dentures are available in a wide selection of lifelike shades and tooth options, offering aesthetics that rival traditional handcrafted appliances. Whether you prefer a fully digital workflow, or are transitioning from analogue records, Lucitone Printed Dentures provide the versatility to integrate smoothly into their practice. Reliable, strong, and beautifully detailed — our Lucitone® Printed Dentures set a new benchmark for performance and innovation in removable prosthetics.
The Science of Lucitone
High Impact Denture Base
The denture base plays a crucial role in prosthetic dentistry by providing essential support for artificial teeth while creating an optimal interface with the patient’s alveolar bone and gingival tissues. The material properties of the denture base must strike a delicate balance between impact resistance (measured by fracture toughness) and flexural characteristics to ensure both durability and patient comfort.
Base Fracture Strength
Lucitone Digital Print 3D Denture Base demonstrates high impact resistance by withstanding both masticatory forces and routine handling without fracturing, meeting industry standards for high impact denture materials.
Finding this balance is critical, as excessive flexural strength or modulus can lead to problematic rigidity in the denture base. When a denture is too rigid, it not only causes patient discomfort but also increases the risk of midline fractures from routine activities like chewing or accidental dropping. The ideal denture base material achieves harmony between flexibility and strength, resulting in a prosthetic that is both comfortable to wear and resistant to damage.
Strength Vs Temperature
Work of Fracture reaches 3,047 J/m² at body temperature (37°C), indicating exceptional resistance to crack propagation during normal use.
Base Fracture Strength
Fracture Toughness of 2.5 MPa/m½ demonstrates the material’s robust ability to resist catastrophic failure under stress.
Exceptional Strength
The exceptional strength and wear resistance of Lucitone Digital IPN stems from its innovative double-scaffolding molecular superstructure. This sophisticated molecular architecture, created through specially synthesized components in the Lucitone Digital Print Denture process, delivers superior wear-resistant properties.
Shows excellent Flexural Strength (135 MPa) and Compressive Strength (142 MPa), being able to withstand the forces of chewing without breaking or distorting.
Dimensional Accuracy
The wear resistance of denture teeth is crucial for chewing surfaces and depends on carefully balanced material properties. Superior wear resistance preserves both aesthetic appearance and the functional integrity of occlusal surfaces, ensuring continued chewing efficiency. However, excessive material toughness compromises wear resistance, highlighting the need for optimal property balance.
Function & Aesthetics
The wear resistance of denture teeth is crucial for chewing surfaces and depends on carefully balanced material properties. Superior wear resistance preserves both aesthetic appearance and the functional integrity of occlusal surfaces, ensuring continued chewing efficiency. However, excessive material toughness compromises wear resistance, highlighting the need for optimal property balance.
Progressive Wear
Lower % Loss = Better Wear Resistance
Denture teeth gradually wear down on their biting surfaces, leading to inadequate support and compromising both function and aesthetics, which ultimately shortens the denture’s lifespan. Lower percentage of material loss equates to greater durability.
