dima® Print Teeth and Temp
2-in-1: Natural look & familiar handling
dima Print Teeth & Temp covers two applications at once: Temporaries and teeth for removable dentures.
As a 2-in-1 resin, it takes up less storage space and you can even print the two different dental appliances in one step, reducing overall production time. This resin delivers excellent properties, convincing benefits and a natural look for both indications.
Benefits
Teeth & Temp 2-in-1: Natural look & familiar handling
- Save time and money! Print two applications at once, teeth and temporaries: less material changes, less cleaning, less storage.
- No extra mile! The handling of the finishing process is comparable with conventional production methods, like milling.
- Excellent mechanical properties which are comparable to milled materials.
- Efficient and economical! Approx. 25 min. to print teeth and approx. 50 min. to print temps (or temps+teeth together¹).
¹ Printing time depends on the printer and resolution chosen. Temporaries require a higher resolution than teeth.
Good to know
Indications & Product Details
dima Print Teeth & Temp is a Class IIa material that covers two indications at once: long-term temporary restorations and teeth for removable dentures.
Four color blends, developed to cover seven common shades. They look great, thanks to the tooth-like appearance and natural fluorescence of the final product.
dima Print Teeth & Temp allows minimum wall thicknesses of up to 0.3 mm; this can enable preserving the structure of the teeth as much as possible, which is consistent with the concepts of minimally invasive dentistry.
Teeth for removable dentures
Longterm temporary restorations (up to 6 months)
It offers reliable mechanical properties, a natural look, and easy handling for efficient and aesthetic restorations. Its high accuracy and efficient performance make it a reliable solution for both indications in everyday digital workflows. dima Print Teeth & Temp is validated for cara Print devices.
- Four colour blends covering seven common shades
- Natural fluorescence for a lifelike appearance
- Very low minimum wall thickness of 0.3 mm printable
- Excellent mechanical properties
- Can be customised with suitable composite materials
Scientific Information
In-vitro study on mechanical properties by Kulzer R&D
dima Print Teeth & Temp demonstrates robust mechanical properties, comparable to those of milled temporary materials. In a three-point bending test, it exceeded the ISO 10477 requirement for flexural strength. Its elastic modulus also measured favorably. Furthermore, dima Print Teeth & Temp shows good performance in water sorption and solubility tests, meeting ISO standards. More details about this study are available here.
In-vitro study on elastic modulus and flexural strength by University of Erlangen
Research conducted at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg confirms the good mechanical properties of dima Print Teeth & Temp. The study finds a higher elastic modulus under wet conditions for dima Print Teeth & Temp, outperforming all other tested materials. Furthermore, it demonstrated excellent flexural strength, ensuring reliable performance for temporary dental restorations. For more information about this study see here.

FAQ
Why can crowns and bridges only be printed in 50µm resolution?
C&B indication requires the highest accuracy. In our tests we found out that using 50µm resolution creates the optimal results. While for denture teeth indication where the requirements regarding fitting are a little less strict, also 70 or 100µm resolution are working fine.
Why do he have less shades than with our current materials dima Print C&B temp and dima Print Denture teeth?
dima Print Teeth & Temp is developed and manufactured in Wehrheim, by our colleagues that normally create our composite materials. Thus we apply our highest standards when it comes to shading.
The color perception of 3D printing materials is influenced by the used hardware (3D printer and post curing unit). As we can not 100% guarantee the shade because of these outside influences, we decided to just determine 4 different color blends but those can cover 7 Vita shades. So we have the same color range like before.
Why don´t we offer smaller packaging sizes, like 500g?
For medical devices changes in packaging (even if it is only the size of the bottle), requires a lot of testing effort. Due to capacity issues, we decided to postpone this step, but we are definitely considering this in the future.
Meanhwile as dima Print Teeth & Temp is a dual indication material, the consumption will be higher, than with a C&B material alone. The 4 color blends as well reduce the needed stock level. Thus also bigger packaging sizes will work well in most labs.
