Freeprint Denture Detax — reliable and comfortable 3D denture bases
Freeprint Denture is a light-curing resin specifically developed for removable denture bases.
Its low viscosity makes cleaning easier, while the high mechanical strength helps prevent fractures and ensures excellent comfort in the mouth.
Colour-stable, odourless and tasteless, it is suitable for daily use both in the lab and chairside.
Benefits for the laboratory
- Low viscosity: reduced resin consumption and faster cleaning.
- High hardness straight out of the printer: safe handling prior to post-curing.
- High flexural strength without becoming brittle.
- Very low shrinkage vs PMMA: stable and repeatable fit.
- Smooth, high-quality surface, very easy to polish.
Clinical & patient benefits
- Lightweight, comfortable denture, suitable for long-term wear.
- Excellent long-term colour and shape stability.
- Odourless and tasteless material, better tolerated by patients.
- Class IIa medical device, suitable for continuous intraoral use.
- Dense polished surface: reduced plaque retention and easier hygiene.
Indications & dental applications
- 3D printed full denture bases.
- Removable partial denture bases.
- Transitional dentures, try-in dentures and long-term provisional restorations.
- Combination with printed teeth (Freeprint Crown), milled teeth or conventional teeth.
- Fully digital workflow: from CAD design to lab finishing.
Biocompatibility & safety
- MMA-free resin designed for long-term intraoral use.
- Class IIa medical device, MDR-compliant.
- Safety Data Sheet available, detailing skin and environmental risks.
- Post-curing is essential to minimise residual monomers.
- Use restricted to trained professionals with PPE (gloves, goggles, ventilation).
Instructions for use — preparation & printing
- Homogenise the bottle (mixing roller or gentle shaking) before use.
- Use dedicated dental CAD software (full/partial dentures).
- Set up a validated DLP 385 nm printer (Detax or printer manufacturer material profiles).
- Typical layer thickness: 50–100 µm depending on printer and base volume.
- Avoid massive sections; respect the recommended maximum thickness.
- Design a suitable support structure to reduce stress and keep margin areas sharp.
Cleaning, post-curing & finishing
- Clean in isopropyl alcohol ≥ 98 % (2 baths), then dry with compressed air.
- Perform full UV post-curing in a validated curing unit (LED/xenon).
- Only place the denture in the mouth once it has been fully cured and rinsed.
- Finishing: remove supports, adjust occlusion and polish in steps up to a high gloss.
- Tooth bonding: light sandblasting + compatible adhesive according to the tooth system used.

Lab tip — optimising denture base accuracy
To get the most out of Freeprint Denture, design bases with slightly reinforced border areas, then check and refine after post-curing. A well-thought-out support strategy, controlled IPA cleaning and full UV exposure will result in stable, comfortable dentures that are easy to repolish at follow-up appointments.

FAQ — Freeprint Denture Detax
Is Freeprint Denture resin really MMA-free?
Yes, Freeprint Denture is specified as MMA-free, which reduces the risk of odour, unpleasant taste and sensitisation associated with methyl methacrylate. However, the resin is still a (meth)acrylate-based material and, in its uncured state, remains potentially irritating and sensitising. It is therefore essential to wear appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles, respiratory protection if necessary) and to follow a complete post-curing cycle before the denture is placed in the mouth.
Which dental 3D printers are officially compatible?
Detax validates Freeprint Denture for specific 385 nm DLP printers, including Asiga MAX/PRO/Pico UV series, MiiCraft 385 nm, Rapidshape D20/D30/D40 and other recent 385 nm systems. It is crucial to use approved material settings (Detax or manufacturer profiles) to obtain the intended mechanical properties and biocompatibility. For any other 385 nm system, refer to the IFU annexes and printer validation lists provided by Detax or the distributor.
What cleaning and post-curing protocol do you recommend?
After printing, remove the denture bases from the build platform and rinse them in two baths of IPA ≥ 98 %, ideally including a few minutes of ultrasonic cleaning, then dry thoroughly with compressed air. Next, carry out UV post-curing in a validated curing unit (such as Sun Beam 3D, Otoflash, etc.), strictly following the exposure times recommended by Detax or the printer manufacturer. This step is essential to reduce residual monomers and reach the specified flexural strength, hardness and stability values.
Can Freeprint Denture be used on a 405 nm or LCD printer?
Freeprint Denture is formulated and validated for 385 nm DLP printers. Even if some experimental setups show that 385 nm resins can be printed on 405 nm LCD systems, this is outside Detax’s validation and may compromise regulatory compliance and biocompatibility. In practice, for professional use and MDR traceability, Freeprint Denture should only be used on 385 nm printers that are explicitly approved.
What are the main safety points to watch out for?
Uncured resin is classified as irritating to skin and eyes, skin sensitising and potentially harmful to aquatic environments. Avoid any contact with skin and mucosae, work with appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles, lab coat), ensure adequate ventilation of the workspace and prevent discharge into the sewage system. Liquid waste (resin, contaminated IPA) must be disposed of as chemical waste in accordance with local regulations.
