3D Print Provisionals and Wax-ups
Fabricate provisionals and wax-ups for restorative and cosmetic procedures with SprintRay 3D printers.Providing temporary restorations and provisionals for aesthetic work provide your patient with a great temporary solution between treatment approval and final placement. Offering next-day waxup presentations can dramatically increase case acceptance for aesthetic procedures and help set patient expectations.
Because they can print in less than an hour and cost only a few dollars in materials to make, you can 3D print provisonals and temporaries a nominal fee, increasing patient access. Plus, rapidly replace broken or lost restorations from digital records, with no need to re-take impressions.
Key Benefits
Temporary Restorations
3D print provisionals, crowns, and bridges for patients undergoing treatment. At only a few dollars per part to manufacture, flexibility in fees can help improve patient acceptance. And, because they can be produced in less than an hour, practices can now fabricate temporaries on the same day they're needed.
Aesthetic Wax-Ups
Final aesthetic restorations such as veneers are the result of experienced craftsmen. But your patients don't have to wait for the final product to see the results up close and in-person. With 3D printing, you can fabricate physical, beautiful wax-ups for patient presentation in a matter of hours.
Dr. Fung's High-Speed Wax-ups
Dr. Lawrence Fung's Los Angeles practice was built from the ground-up to leverage digital technologies: intraoral scanning, advanced photography, and digital design all figured prominently in his daily workflow. Despite this, Dr. Fung was initially hesitant to adopt a 3D printing. But after only a few months, Dr. Fung has leveraged his printer to drastically increase case acceptance for cosmetic procedures, providing intra-oral wax-ups in just 24 hours for most of his patients.

Digital Workflow Explained
3D Printing Provisionals and Wax-upsUsing an intraoral scan and optional CBCT data, you can use 3rd-party software or work with a digital designer to create the digital model for the final restoration. Once you have your design, send one copy to your lab for production and import the other into RayWare to print using the material of your choosing.
Materials
SprintRay Study Model White 2
Rapid, pure-white models for patient presentationSprintRay Study Model White 2 is a special material formulation that provides outstanding color, clarity, and production speed, making it perfect for patient presentation.
