Clinical Validation And Commercial Value Of 3D Systems NextDent Jetted Denture System

Sep 15, 2026

3D Systems solidified its leading position in digital denture technology in April 2026, successfully acquiring EU MDR Class IIa certification for its NextDent Jetted Denture System and launching formal commercial services covering all European countries and regions. This innovative one-piece multi-material 3D printing workflow realizes integrated synchronous fabrication of high-fit denture bases and anatomically simulated artificial teeth, providing a unified digital production standard for full removable dentures and partial removable dentures. Compared with traditional labor-intensive casting and manual denture making processes that require multiple chair-side adjustments and long-term technician modification, the all-in-one jetting solution greatly simplifies post-treatment procedures, stabilizes marginal adaptation and occlusal accuracy, and significantly improves the standardized production efficiency and clinical applicability of dental laboratory prosthetic manufacturing.

 

The technological advantages and economic value of this digital denture system have been fully verified by an authoritative independent clinical study completed in Brazil in September 2026. The long-term clinical follow-up data shows that 3D printed complete dentures built with NextDent jetting technology can effectively optimize the entire clinical diagnosis and treatment workflow. The traditional complete denture treatment process requires at least five separate clinic visits for impression taking, try-in, occlusion adjustment and final seating, while the digital solution reduces the treatment procedure to only three visits, greatly lowering patients' time cost and clinical operational pressure. More importantly, despite the streamlined process and reduced overall clinical expenditure, the digitally fabricated dentures maintain equivalent or even better performance in soft tissue fitting comfort, stable occlusal adaptation, gingival compatibility and natural aesthetic presentation compared with conventionally crafted prostheses.

 

The dual recognition of EU MDR regulatory certification and real clinical trial data strongly accelerates the global transformation of the prosthodontic industry from experience-based manual customization to data-driven standardized digital production. This advanced multi-material jetting denture solution provides dental laboratories and clinical institutions worldwide with a more efficient, cost-saving, patient-friendly and highly stable restorative alternative. It effectively solves the industry pain points of long production cycles, unstable quality and repeated clinical adjustments in traditional denture manufacturing. Meanwhile, it further promotes the large-scale popularization and in-depth application of multi-material 3D printing technology in definitive removable denture restoration, continuously driving the iterative upgrading of the global digital prosthodontics industry.
