Two-Component Injection Molding of Dental Prostheses

a@b.com (bymould) — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:41:14 +0800

It has recently become possible to manufacture plastic dental prostheses economically and in large quantities by means of two-component injection molding. To achieve a natural appearance and good durability, PA 12 and PMMA are used in the process developed by Dens3000. The polyamide provides high strength and good damping characteristics. The hardness and color of the PMMA were modified over the course of extensive tests to where the dental prostheses can hardly be distinguished from real teeth.
