Natural Dental Implants recently released a 3D printed version of REPLICATE Tooth, which features a titanium root portion and a zirconia abutment portion, like the commercially available version of the REPLICATE Tooth currently made by 5-axis CNC milling.
The REPLICATE System features the REPLICATE Tooth, an anatomically-shaped, customized, titanium-zirconia tooth, and the REPLICATE Temporary Protective Crown, a customized cover shield designed to protect the REPLICATE Tooth during the healing process, according to a press release.
This approach to single-tooth replacement offers patients an immediate, minimally invasive alternative to traditional dental implants and three-unit bridges.
The company has a working prototype and expects to begin extensive product testing this year.
