DGSHAPE Time Reduction Kits (TRK) launched by Roland DGA
Kits make producing removable dentures and models with DWX series mills faster and more accurate.
Roland DGA has introduced new DGSHAPE Time Reduction Kits (TRK) that produce molded gypsum or acrylic-based material discs for accurately milling partial or full-denture bases, as well as models, with the company’s DWX dry dental mills.
These kits are available for Roland’s DGSHAPE DWX-52D, DWX-52DC and DWX-52DCi milling machines. Allowing for in-house digital denture production, these TRK kits are said to be easier and more consistent than analog processes, and have a patent pending.
The new Removable Denture Kit (CA-DK1) reduces in-house finishing time for full-denture and partial- denture applications and streamlines the digital workflow, saving DWX users a substantial amount of time, while pre-shaped molds, also included, minimize material waste. Labs are able to meet patient needs faster because the acrylic materials allow for quicker reline and rebase processes. The acrylic products produced by the Removable Denture Kit are said to be strong and long-term.

“Our new DGSHAPE Removable Denture and Model kits are truly unique products that no other companies within the digital dental space have offered to date,” said Roland DGA dental product manager, Dwight Blair. “The Removable Denture Kit reduces both the analog workflow and the material costs associated with removable denture production. Both kits perfectly complement the capabilities and increase the versatility of our cutting-edge DWX dry milling technology.”
The DGSHAPE Removable Denture Kit includes six full-arch silicone molds, three TRK fixtures, a flat-end carbide tool, 50 sets of fixture tips, three silicone plates, and a spatula. The Model Kit includes three full-arch silicone molds, three quadrant silicone molds, three TRK fixtures, a flat-end carbide tool, and a spatula.
