Temporary CB Resin is a tooth-colored resin for 3D printing of temporary crown and bridge restorations, inlays, onlays and veneers. Indicated for up to seven-unit bridges and available in five VITA* shades, this material provides excellent marginal adaptation, strength, and aesthetics. Use traditional temporary cements to fix restorations produced with Temporary CB Resin. Restorations made with Temporary CB Resin may remain up to 12 months in the mouth. Digitally created restorations enable a quick, collaborative process between dentist, technician, and patient.

Temporary CB Resin prints at 50 microns.

In order to 3D print an impression tray, use a scanner to collect anatomical data of the patient’s dentition. Either scan the patient directly with an intraoral scanner, or use a desktop optical scanner to scan a polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) impression or stone model.

Use a dental CAD software package to process and design the restoration before printing. Choose software that offers open STL file export.

Feature requirements

Minimum thickness (crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers): 1.0 mm

Anterior: 1.0 mm

Posterior: 1.5 mm

Install or update PreForm, then set up the next print job.

To prepare a model for printing in PreForm:

1. Open a model.
2. Select the resin, resin version, and the desired layer thickness.
3. Orient to preserve fine details.
4. Generate supports.
5. Send the print job to the printer.

Orient the restoration horizontally, with the occlusal plane facing the build platform.

The Form Wash agitates the solvent bath and removes parts from the bath after a set time. Wash parts according to the support article Form Wash time settings. Pay particular attention to information that affects mechanical properties or biocompatibility requirements.

If the model is hollow or has internal channels, ensure liquid resin is flushed out thoroughly from these features using a skirt bottle filled with 99% isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Use compressed air to allow parts to fully dry before post-curing.

Temporary CB Resin requires post-curing to reach its optimal mechanical properties. Refer to the support article Form Cure time and temperature settings for post-curing recommendations.

Step 1: Post-cure with raft and supports still attached

Leave supports and rafts in place for the first post-cure.

Step 2: Remove supports

After post-curing, remove supports. Carefully sandblast part surfaces to remove the white coating. Check the fit and contour parts as needed using a dental handpiece.

Step 3: Post-cure with supports removed

Post-cure parts again according to the support article Form Cure time and temperature settings with the occlusal plane facing upward.

Step 4: Polish parts

Polish post-cured parts using pumice stone and polishing compound.
