Pac-Dent, Inc., has unveiled an expansion of its line of Rodin™ 3D Resin Printing Materials with the launches of Rodin™ Sculpture 2.0 and Rodin™ Titan.

With these 2 new products, the manufacturer continues to push the boundaries of 3D-printed dental restorations through the continuous development and integration of cutting-edge ceramic nanohybrid technology. Earlier this year, Pac-Dent launched the Rodin All-Purpose Glaze and Rodin Palette Naturalizing Kit during Lab Day West in May.

Rodin Sculpture 2.0 is described as a next-generation zirconia-infused nanohybrid resin that achieves previously unseen flexural strength and ceramic filler content values, allowing the material to provide superior wear and fracture resistance and set new benchmarks in the ceramic-nanohybrid industry. Sculpture 2.0 features a large increase in ceramic filler content to over 60% and an exceptional Biaxial Flexural Strength of over 200 MPa, according to Pac-Dent. These values reportedly indicate an impressive increase over those from other permanent crown and bridge resins.

Additional benefits of the new Rodin Sculpture 2.0 include:

• Exceptional Mechanical Strength: The material offers optimal resistance to wear and fracture, providing patients with enduring long-term solutions
• Unmatched Esthetics: With a selection of 16 Vita Classic shades and 2 additional bleach shades, clinicians gain unprecedented customization options
• ADA Approval for Permanent Restorations: Like its predecessor, Rodin Sculpture 2.0 is predominantly ceramic filled, making it eligible for 2023 ADA insurance code reimbursements, delivering substantial benefits to both practitioners and patients
• Superior Radiopacity: Dental clinicians will appreciate Rodin Sculpture 2.0's exceptional radiopacity, designed to guarantee great x-ray clarity for precise fit checking and increased diagnostic accuracy
• Elevated Esthetics: For further esthetic enhancements, Rodin Sculpture 2.0 seamlessly pairs with acrylic-based light-curable stain and glaze systems, such as Rodin™ Palette

Rodin Titan ceramic nanohybrid resin is engineered for the printing of full arch restorations and provisional hybrid dentures. It retains the core composition of Rodin Sculpture—a class II ceramic nanohybrid with analogous ceramic filler content, but features a substantial increase in

flexibility for enhanced impact strength, according to the manufacturer. This modified flexural modulus has been specifically tailored for printing full arch restorations and provisional hybrid dentures. Dental clinicians can now print long-lasting tooth arches for split file denture designs, full monolithic dentures, and immediate screw-retained dentures.

Additional benefits of the new Rodin Titan include:

• Swift Workflow: Titan is formulated to enable quick and accurate printing, streamlining chairside workflows, and to provide professionals with reliable and swift delivery of products to their patients
• Vita Shade Matching: Rodin Titan is available in 6 sought-after vita shades (BL0, BL3, B1, A1, A2, and A3) providing clinicians with the versatility to replicate natural esthetics, resulting in seamless integration with patients' smiles
• Natural Translucency: Rodin Titan is said to accurately mimic natural tooth translucency compared to leading competitors
• Optimal Radiopacity: Ensures precise visualization of provisionals within the oral cavity, facilitating effective fit assessment and verification
