Dreve Dentamid GmbH

THE Alginate Alternative

The A-silicone Zerosil® soft has been an integral part of the Dreve product portfolio for over 30 years. During this time, the universally applicable impression silicone has developed as THE alternative to alginates. The reason lies in the unlimited storable impressions - no warping, no shrinkage, can be poured several times, can be disinfected and is compatible with all plasters.

Together with orthodontists and dentists, we have now greatly improved the formulation of Zerosil® soft. A-silicones are very temperature-sensitive in terms of their setting behavior. This can lead to uncertainties when taking the impression. For reliable results, Zerosil® soft now contains a chemical color indicator that visually reflects the setting process using the color gradient from “plum” to “orange” 1:1. In this way, the final color is only achieved when the curing phase is really over.

In addition, processing time and time in the mouth could each be shortened by 25% - an enormous time saving for every impression!

For users, this means reliable, precise impressions in less time.

Our first green 3D printing resin

FotoDent® biobased model is a light-curing resin that consists of 50 percent renewable raw materials. The ecological advantage of bio-based raw materials over petroleum-based raw materials is that they have less impact on the climate during the production of the resin: If the carbon is bound from biomass, it does not turn into carbon dioxide. This is where plants convert carbon dioxide into a valuable raw material. This reverses the trend that humanity is increasingly emitting more carbon than carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

The renewable raw materials are parts of wheat and maize that are not used for food production. The production of these herbal ingredients does not compete with food production. They are also genetically unmodified.

When selecting suppliers, care was taken to ensure that the raw materials used do NOT compete with food production and that local conditions during production are taken into account. The use of FotoDent® biobased model can thus be an important part of the company's own sustainability strategy!

In addition, the resin is free from carcinogenic or fertility-impairing substances. The proportion of volatile organic compounds (VOC) is very low and pollutes the atmosphere less than conventional 3D printing materials.

Even with the bio-based FotoDent® model material, the material properties are optimally matched to use in the aligner workflow. The viscosity could also be reduced significantly - this reduces the cleaning effort for every printed part.

The "next level" mouthguard: Our first mouthguard with a 3D printed insert for the best protection and a perfect fit

At a cursory glance, one could overlook the innovation, it is so inconspicuous. But the impression is deceptive: Our latest achievement is securely enclosed between two EVA foils: The pioneering insert with a distinctive honeycomb structure consists of a digitally printed silicone material with highly flexible properties. Due to its hexagonal shape, it perfectly absorbs pressure and tensile forces and dissipates them safely.

With the digital printing process it is now possible to build structures that can better absorb the forces and distribute them to the face mask. This means that the tooth structures are better protected than with the analogue predecessor model with a rigid protective insert. The filigree inlay with a final hardness of approx. 43 Shore A absorbs the force acting on the teeth, gums and bone structure thanks to its bionic honeycomb structure, splits them very effectively at the connection points and distributes them over the entire protected area. The forces acting directly on the jaw are thereby considerably minimized and the risk of fractures is effectively reduced.

A marvel of bionics
In close cooperation with sports scientists and professional athletes, we have succeeded in combining the traditional thermoforming technique and digital printing technology into one product that exceeds the previously available mouthguards in terms of protection and comfort.

The laboratory also benefits
Not only athletes benefit from the innovative Dreve Mouthguard professional 3D. Compared to the purely analog mouthguard production, the laboratory saves the otherwise necessary medium thermoforming process and finishing steps. The printed insert is delivered ready-made and only needs to be individually cut and applied to the blank.

Depending on the level of experience, 5 to 10 minutes of working time can be saved.

Our new dream team for the laboratory

... especially when it has to be done quickly!

The first double cartridge silicone for quick and precise repairs
In the dental laboratory, the clock ticks a little faster - especially with minor repairs. For these and other special cases, we have now developed a new duo that provides valuable services in this work. The special feature: the two new high-performance silicones from the Laborsil range are manufactured exclusively as double cartridge material. This has many advantages for users: always 100% mixing, very short processing and setting times and extremely user-friendliness.

Highlights:
- High-speed matrix silicone for repairs in record time
- Extremely fast processing
- Very easy to use

Laborsil speed: Particularly suitable as a silicone matrix for repairs and extensions
Versatile matrix material with a final hardness of 75 Shore A and excellent reproduction of details. For reliable results, Laborsil speed contains a chemical color indicator which visually reflects the setting process based on the color gradient from "blue" to "white" 1: 1. In this way, the final color is only achieved when the curing phase is really over.

Processing time: 0:30 min.
Demouldability: 2:00 min.
Shore hardness: 75 Shore A
Color: blue -> white
Consistency: medium - type 2

Laborsil clear: Particularly suitable as a matrix silicone for light-curing composites
Versatile, highly transparent silicone with a final hardness of 70 Shore A. Due to its transparency, it is particularly suitable as a matrix material for light-curing anterior and posterior tooth composites.

Processing time: 0:30 min.
Final hardness: 70 Shore A
Color: transparent
Consistency: medium - type 2
