Pac-Dent Rodin Sculpture Resin: Developed for modern dental restorations, the Pac-Dent Rodin Sculpture Resin introduces a new all-on-x solution for long-term provisionals on the Carbon platform. This resin promises premium precision, aesthetics, and strength. This resin is particularly noteworthy for being the first in Carbon's lineup that is FDA 510k-cleared for all-on-x temporary dental appliances, offering a nanohybrid ceramic formulation for lifelike permanent restorations. Additionally, it is the first permanent crown material to contain over 50% ceramic filler, meeting requirements for updated ADA insurance code reimbursements: D2740, D2630, D2644.

Desktop Health Flexcera Base: Following the successful validation of Flexcera Smile Ultra+ restorative tooth resin, Flexcera Base joins Carbon's portfolio as the latest innovation in denture base materials. This resin is designed for creating high-impact denture bases, combining optimal fracture resistance with excellent aesthetic quality. Both Flexcera Base and Flexcera Smile Ultra+ are FDA-cleared, ensuring that dental labs can confidently offer reliable permanent and temporary solutions to their customers.

Keystone Industries KeyGuard: Keystone Industries brings to the Carbon platform the Keystone KeyGuard, a material crafted for high-quality, custom-fit mouthguards. This addition offers dental professionals the opportunity to design sports mouthguards digitally with custom variable wall thicknesses to provide comfort and protection to the end user. This resin brings yet another valuable application to Carbon's premium resin portfolio.

The new materials are available for order immediately, with comprehensive support and training available from Carbon. For more information about Carbon and the new resin offerings, visit carbon3d.com/dental.
