Référence: D35120
Fotodent® IBT 3D Resin – Dreve
Transparent resin for orthodontic Indirect Bonding Trays (IBT)
Fotodent® IBT is engineered for the 3D printing of Indirect Bonding Trays used in orthodontic bracket placement workflows.
- Its transparency and controlled elasticity enable precise bracket positioning, enhanced visual control, and easy tray removal after bonding, on 385–405 nm 3D printers.
Indications & Benefits
- Fabrication of IBT trays for indirect bonding procedures.
- High transparency for full visual control before and during bonding.
- Elongation at break ≥ 45% providing ideal flexibility for gentle tray removal.
- Hardness ~90 Shore A ensuring stability without brittleness.
- Light-curing resin optimized for DLP/LCD 385–405 nm printers.
- Biocompatibility validated for temporary intraoral use.
Dental Applications
- Design of orthodontic transfer trays for simultaneous bracket placement.
- Transparent guides that reduce chair time and increase clinical precision.
- Orthodontic devices requiring controlled flexibility and clarity.
- Full integration into digital orthodontic workflows (planning & CAD software).
Instructions for Use – Part 1
1. Preparation & Printing
- Shake Fotodent IBT thoroughly to homogenize the components.
- Use a dental-grade DLP/LCD printer (385–405 nm).
- Typical layer thickness: 50–100 µm, depending on the system.
- Orient the tray and place supports strategically to minimize deformation.
2. Post-print Cleaning
- Rinse in one or two baths of IPA or compatible solvent.
- Ensure all uncured resin is removed from the surface.
- Allow the part to dry completely before post-curing.
Instructions for Use – Part 2
3. Post-curing
- Mandatory post-curing in a UV curing unit recommended by Dreve (PCU LED, PCU 90, etc.).
- Follow the exposure times specified in the technical documentation.
- Post-curing ensures the final ~90 Shore A hardness and ≥45% elongation.
4. Finishing & Quality Control
- Slight trimming and surface finishing may be performed if needed.
- Check adaptation on the model and correct bracket seat geometry.
- Store trays protected from UV light until clinical use.

Lab Tips for IBT Manufacturing
Slightly tilt the tray (10–20°) to improve resin drainage and reduce support structures. Do not evaluate flexibility before post-curing — final mechanical properties are only achieved after complete UV polymerization. Use a dental-calibrated printer to ensure repeatability and dimensional accuracy.FAQ – Fotodent® IBT Resin
Is Fotodent IBT biocompatible for intraoral use?
Yes — once printed and fully post-cured according to Dreve protocols. It is intended for temporary intraoral orthodontic applications, such as indirect bonding trays. Biocompatibility and conformity are documented in the CE Declaration of Conformity.
Which 3D printers are compatible with Fotodent IBT?
Fotodent IBT is compatible with DLP/LCD systems operating at 385–405 nm. For best results, use validated parameters or a dental-grade machine, following the Technical Data Sheet.
Why is post-curing mandatory with this resin?
Before post-curing, the resin has not yet reached its final mechanical properties or biocompatibility. UV post-curing ensures the expected hardness (~90 Shore A) and elongation (≥45%). Without it, the tray may remain soft, tacky, or clinically non-compliant.
How should IBT trays be cleaned after printing?
After printing, rinse the tray in IPA or equivalent solvent, then allow it to dry before UV curing. Insufficient cleaning may leave uncured resin on the surface, compromising fit, accuracy, and biocompatibility. See the Instructions for Use (IFU) for detailed recommendations.
