Optiprint Gingiva – 3D Resin for flexible and realistic gingival masks
Référence: H103384
Optiprint Gingiva 2.0 – Dentona 3D Resin for Flexible Gingival Masks
Photopolymer resin for 3D printing flexible gingival masks, developed to provide a shade close to natural gingiva, good flexibility, and excellent handling stability.
A 3D gingival resin designed for aesthetics and laboratory handling
Optiprint Gingiva 2.0 was developed to produce flexible gingival masks by 3D printing in modern digital dental laboratory workflows. Its goal is clear: to reproduce gingival contours more naturally around preparations, implant abutments, or aesthetic restorations, while maintaining good flexibility during insertion, removal, and model checks.
This gingival 3D resin integrates perfectly into a modern digital chain: scanning, CAD design, printing, cleaning, post-curing, and final adjustment on the model. It is a relevant solution for laboratories seeking better consistency, improved visual results in implant cases, and reduced discrepancies between digital design, mock-up, and final prosthetic delivery.
- Natural gingival shade for a more realistic visual reading of soft tissues.
- Flexible and tear-resistant material for more reliable laboratory handling.
- Repeatable digital workflow for aesthetic, implant-supported, and demonstration cases.
- 385–405 nm compatibility for easier integration into many dental 3D printer fleets.
Why choose Optiprint Gingiva in the dental laboratory?
For cases where gingival profile management affects fit, emergence profile reading, or the overall aesthetic presentation of the work, a well-balanced gingival resin truly improves daily workflow. Optiprint Gingiva provides useful flexibility without becoming too soft to handle properly.
The laboratory benefits from a mask that is easier to remove and reposition, with better reading of peripheral contours. In implant cases, fixed prosthetics, or any situation where soft tissue appearance matters, this type of resin helps secure the assembly and validation stages.
Lab tip – How to achieve a cleaner, more stable gingival mask
In CAD, it is often wise to plan uniform wall thicknesses and avoid overly thin edges in areas exposed to repeated handling. A well-considered printing orientation also helps limit support marks on the most visible surfaces.
After cleaning, make sure the part is completely dry before post-curing. A part that still contains residual uncured resin may lose surface quality and make peripheral finishing more difficult.
Applications in the dental laboratory
- Gingival masks for implant models with more realistic reading of peri-implant contours.
- Anterior aesthetic cases where tooth-to-gingiva transition visualization is especially important.
- Emergence profile control for single, multiple, or hybrid restorations.
- Case presentation and internal validation with a more convincing appearance on the model or mock-up.
- Complement to printed models within a coherent digital workflow with Optiprint Model.
Compatibility and working environment
Optiprint Gingiva 2.0 is intended for DLP / LCD dental 3D printers compatible with 385–405 nm. It fits into additive manufacturing workflows in the dental laboratory and requires suitable printing parameters according to the equipment used.
It is especially relevant in laboratories seeking to standardize printed gingival masks, improve consistency from one case to another, and rely on a resin specifically formulated for this indication, rather than adapting a model resin or another material not designed for the required flexibility.
Recommended uses in a digital workflow
This resin is particularly suitable for laboratories working with printed models, implant cases, aesthetic mock-ups, and projects requiring high-quality soft tissue visualization.
It enables the production of a flexible gingival mask that is faster to reproduce, more consistent in series, and better integrated into a digital workflow than more variable manual solutions. In this logic, it helps reinforce consistency between design, try-in, and final finishing.
Instructions for use – Preparation and printing
1. File preparation
- Design the gingival mask in your dental CAD software.
- Plan consistent thicknesses and clear margins to facilitate insertion on the model.
- Place supports in the least visible areas whenever possible.
2. Resin preparation
- Shake the bottle before use to homogenize the material.
- Pour the required amount into the printer’s clean resin tank.
- Check for absence of bubbles and work in a clean environment.
3. Printing
- Use a validated printing profile for Optiprint Gingiva 2.0 whenever available.
- Start printing according to the recommended settings for your machine.
- Avoid cold starts if your technical environment requires a stabilized working temperature.
Instructions for use – Cleaning, post-curing, and finishing
4. Cleaning after printing
- Carefully remove the part from the build platform.
- Clean it according to your laboratory protocol using the recommended solvent for 3D printing resins.
- Dry the part completely before the next step.
5. Post-curing
- Follow the post-curing cycle suitable for the material and the equipment used.
- Avoid any approximation at this stage, as it is essential for the final stability of the mask.
6. Inspection and finishing
- Remove any remaining supports with precision.
- Adjust the edges if necessary without weakening thin areas.
- Check positioning on the model and validate functional flexibility before delivery.

How to choose a 3D gingival resin for the dental laboratory?
A good 3D printed gingival mask resin is not only about color. You also need to consider useful flexibility, handling stability, compatibility with your wavelength, ease of finishing, and consistency with your digital workflow.
If your goal is to produce gingival masks for implant models or aesthetic cases, a dedicated resin such as Optiprint Gingiva 2.0 is far more relevant than a standard model resin. It better matches the laboratory reality: repeated insertion, contour reading, clean case presentation, and better control of the soft tissues around the restoration.

FAQ – Optiprint Gingiva 2.0
What exactly is a 3D gingival resin like Optiprint Gingiva used for?
It is used to produce flexible gingival masks that reproduce soft tissue contours around teeth, preparations, or implants on a printed model or a physically produced digital model.
For the laboratory, this improves contour reading, emergence profile control, and the aesthetic presentation
of the case, while also facilitating certain validation and adjustment steps.
Is this resin compatible with all dental 3D printers?
It is intended for DLP / LCD printers compatible with 385–405 nm, but practical compatibility always depends on the equipment, software, and available parameters.
It is recommended to use a validated profile or to verify the specific settings for your machine before starting
regular production.
Why use a dedicated gingival resin instead of a standard model resin?
A standard model resin generally does not provide the flexibility, gingival appearance, or handling behavior expected from a soft tissue mask.
A dedicated resin such as Optiprint Gingiva 2.0 better matches the laboratory need: insertion, removal,
visual reading, and ease of use in aesthetic or implant cases.
Does the material flexibility reduce the precision of the gingival mask?
No, provided that design, printing, cleaning, and post-curing are carried out correctly.
The desired flexibility mainly concerns the functionality of the mask and its handling. Final precision depends
above all on file quality, process stability, and strict adherence to the laboratory protocol.
What is the benefit of combining it with Optiprint Model?
The benefit is to build a consistent workflow between a rigid model and a flexible gingival component, using materials designed to work together within the Optiprint product family.
This can improve production consistency, case presentation, and reproducibility in the laboratory,
especially for implant or aesthetic cases.
