Rehabilitation of full arch edentulous patients was the primary reason and indication
for dental implants back in 1977 when Branemark introduced the osseointegration
process and endosseous dental implants.
Rehabilitation of patients with the need for full arch implant supported prosthesis
(often called hybrid prosthesis) has been growing rapidly among dental practitioners
and is demanded by many patients nationwide.

This treatment enables restoration of
function and aesthetics in very reasonable timeframes. The current trend in implant
rehabilitations is to develop materials to improve the aesthetics and mechanical
properties, reduce treatment time, and ultimately simplify treatment procedures.2
Conventional Methods of Hybrid Denture Fabrication
Conventionally, the provisional prosthesis delivered to patients during the healing
period would be fabricated by connecting temporary cylinders to a premade
PMMA based prosthesis. This procedure, which is performed either on the day of
surgery in case of immediate loading, or at a later time when the implants are fully
osseointegrated. In case of delayed loading, it is time consuming and can cause
discomfort for patients. However, introduction of CAD/CAM in dentistry and
improvements in digital dentistry workflows has enabled clinicians to reduce the
postoperative complications, improve the patient satisfaction, and provide more
predictable treatment outcome.

To date, the search for optimum material is
ongoing and constant research and innovation has created very unique materials
applicable for full arch implant rehabilitations.
Flexural Strength and Flexural Modulus
Objective
This study evaluated the flexural strength and flexural modulus of the samples
printed with available dental 3D printing hybrid denture materials in the market.
This study provides a valuable insight into the mechanical properties of these
3D printed resins.
Materials and Methods
For this evaluation, bars with 4 mm thickness, 12.7 mm width, and 125 mm length
were fabricated according to the ASTM D790. For this test the support span was
set at 64 mm. Moreover, bars with 2 mm thickness, 2 mm width, and 25 mm length
dimensions were fabricated according to the ISO 4049 standard. For this test the
support span was set at 20 mm. The materials printed for this study were OnX Tough
2 (SprintRay), Flexcera Smile Ultra Plus (Desktop Health), Rodin Sculpture (Pac-Dent),
and Trusana (Myerson). All samples were printed and cured according to the
manufacturer’s IFU.

We’re popping the corks at Eurodontic this summer as two key members of the Eurodontic team celebrate their 10-year work anniversary!
You might already be familiar with Leonora Ward. Our girl on the road is very much the public face of Eurodontic and can usually be found offering product demos to dental teams, updating our online shop, chatting to customers on the phone or answering questions on social media. She’s even been known to experiment with the products she’s responsible for promoting.
When asked about her forthcoming work anniversary, Leonora commented:
‘Wow… I can’t believe it’s been 10 years! If you have ever met me, you will know I’m still as enthusiastic about our products and supporting our customers, as I was the day I started. It’s exciting being part of a forward-thinking team, who are always happy to explore new ideas.’
If Leonora is the friendly face of Eurodontic, then Angela is the organisational tour de force, keeping everything running like clockwork.
Angela is responsible for liaising with our suppliers, ordering stock, processing orders, updating pricing, packaging up products and dealing with both pre and post sales enquiries.
She commented:
‘I feel very privileged to have worked for Eurodontic these past ten years, and the time has gone so quickly I find it hard to believe I have reached this milestone!
Lots of changes have taken place over the years but providing good customer service has always been my main goal. Helping and supporting my customers is what makes me happy. I have always felt well looked after and valued here, and I’m sure the next ten years will be as good to me as the last ten.’
Together, Leonora and Angela are the dream team that keep Eurodontic growing, and they make sure that only the very best orthodontic products end up in your capable hands.
We’d like to congratulate them both on their 10-year milestone and also say a huge thank you for all their hard work and dedication! Here’s to another 10 years of our Eurodontic dream team!

Over the lockdown period, lots more of our lovely Eurodontic customers started ordering their lab products online. We noticed the shift in buying habits and realised it was high time we gave our online shop a bit of much-needed TLC.
We’ve been working hard on it for a couple of months now, and we’re now delighted to launch our new and improved online shop!
We’ve added 100s more of your favourite, must-have products and added user-friendly new categories to make it super easy to find the products you want.
We’ll be adding even more products to the shop over the coming weeks and months.
Take a look – we’d love to hear what you think!
Don’t have an account? Just visit the shop, add your chosen products to your basket and checkout. Our customer service team will then be in touch to set up your account and finish processing your order.
Most of our regular customers, especially across the South, will know me as the ‘Eurodontic lady’ and I can usually be found either on the road or chatting to practices about our fabulous products!
So you can imagine my frustration as recent events have prevented me from doing what I do best. Like so many of us, the lockdown has meant that I’ve had to rethink how I do my job, for the time being at least.
I’m still in touch with my lovely customers, via Zoom and on the phone, but I’ve still found myself with some downtime.
Learning Something New
One of Eurodontic’s key products for 2020 is the Ultimaker S3, an amazing, compact desktop 3D printer. I decided to bring one home to trial. What better use of my downtime than learning something new?
My son was so excited when the printer arrived. Eager to start printing something (anything!), we unboxed it together and set it up within minutes. We pressed the button on our first test print – nothing happened! We’d failed at the first hurdle. So we sheepishly went back to the beginning, and this time we actually read the instructions!
It worked – once we followed the step-by-step setup guide, we were ready to print.
Easy To Use
I downloaded the Cura software and headed over to the My Mini Factory website which has a huge range of free files to print.
Lego Heads was the first thing we downloaded to my desktop. Then it was as easy as opening the Cura software and adding the new Lego file.
The software is really easy to use. I was able to move the image to the perfect position, so it was flat on the glass plate, and after just 30 minutes we’d made our very own Darth Vader head! All I needed to do was remove the support material, which peeled off easily. No mess, no fuss and no need for post-processing!
Caught The Bug
By then I’d definitely caught the 3D printing bug and decided to move the Ultimaker to a more permanent home in my office. I went to do a print – uh-oh, a printer head error. Oh no, here we are in lockdown and I’ve broken it already!
I called the Ultimaker helpline who were brilliant. I had knocked the printer head out of alignment and it was an easy fix. I just had to manually realign the printer head which took a couple of minutes and I was back printing – that week I think we managed several horseshoe models, an iPhone holder, 3D puzzles and a Batman plane!
Online demo
I’m not hugely confident when it comes to new technology, but I have to say the Ultimaker S3 and the Cura Software are so easy to use and they’re suitable for anyone who is new to 3D printing.
If you’d like to have a chat about the Ultimaker S3, give me a buzz or get in touch by email. I’d be happy to give you an online demo – Darth Vader head anyone?
The last couple of months have been difficult for everyone. We sincerely hope that our customers, suppliers and colleagues are all safe and well.
Having undergone a short period of closure, followed by a phased opening on a skeleton staff, we are delighted to say that Eurodontic is now fully operational again.
We’ve carried out a full risk assessment and taken all necessary measures to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all our staff and customers. We’re confident that we can now resume ‘business as usual’.
However, please be aware that due to our increased safety measures, there may be a short delay in getting your order to you. We will do our best to minimise this where possible.
If you have any questions or queries, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. We’re looking forward to working with our lovely customers once again.
Andrea Johnson is Chair and a founding member of the charity Den-Tech, Orthodontic and maxillofacial laboratory manager at Montagu hospital, Mexborough and the current Chair of the Orthodontic Technicians Association (OTA).
We’re proud to be sponsoring her session at this year’s Dental Technology Conference, which takes place in Edinburgh on 27-28 September.
The session, titled ‘Under Pressure – Thermoforming Tips, Tricks and Advice’ will introduce a range of thermoforming techniques using SCHEU equipment and materials, which will be invaluable both for beginners and more experienced technicians alike.
In April 2019, Eurodontic had the privilege of arranging for Andrea to visit SCHEU’s HQ in Iserlohn, Germany.
Here’s what Andrea made of the visit…
‘SCHEU-DENTAL was founded in In 1926 and is still a family-run business. They develop very high quality dental products and services, including a large range of pressure-moulded appliances, sleep medicine and now 3D printing.
It was with this in mind that I embarked on this journey. I have a very well-loved, old and battered Biostar pressure moulding machine in my lab and quite frankly was looking forward to seeing first hand from the experts how this can be used to its maximum potential with the materials developed especially with it in mind.
I arrived in Iserlohn the evening before my scheduled day at SCHEU and was able to have a little wander around the town. It is a very lovely place and full of the character I have come to expect from the German towns I have visited. It has a very ‘olde world’ feel to it with cobbled streets and characteristic buildings cleverly mixed in with the new without spoiling the overall feel.
The following day was a real learning exercise. I was collected from my hotel in the morning by Martin Göllner who is SCHEU’s sales director. We drove the 10 minutes to the company where I was introduced to Martin’s colleague Antji who was my instructor for the day. I was very impressed by Martin and Antji’s English, it was certainly a huge amount better than my German and the hospitality of them both throughout the day was incredibly impressive.
I spent the day with Antji who is an excellent technician and a complete expert on all of Scheu’s products. We covered topics such as the pros and cons of pressure forming versus vacuum, model prep using BLUE-BLOKKER®/SIL-KITT/BIOPLAST® insulating, different retainer blanks and applications, DURASOFT® pd, bleaching trays and mouthguards. It was a very intense day but it was great to see how the company intends and recommends its products to be used to gain the maximum potential from them.
I have to say that I have definitely changed, and I believe, improved the techniques that I was already using and feel that the end products that I now produce are better and more durable than before.
If anyone gets the opportunity to visit this facility and attend one or more of their courses I would highly recommend it. In the meantime I hope to be able to use the skills and techniques I have learnt to show others too how they can achieve the best possible results from these materials.
Huge thanks to both Scheu and Eurodontic for your support and the opportunity.’
Don’t forget to book your place at the DPC Conference, to take part in Andrea’s workshop and of course visit the Eurodontic stand!
