Stratasys partnered with Express Dental Labs of Norman, Oklahoma at the recent Oklahoma Dental Association Mission of Mercy (OkMOM) event to provide full and partial dentures to more than 55 people in need.
The OkMOM is a two-day event that provides free essential dental care to individuals who may otherwise lack access to such services. The event took place in Lawton Oklahoma and brought together dental professionals, volunteers, and organizations to address the oral health needs of underserved populations.
Each patient that received dentures had an inter-oral scan completed the first day, which Express Dental Labs used to create the dentures with the Stratasys’ J5 DentaJet 3D Printer and TrueDent resin. The dentures were printed overnight and delivered by participating dentists the following day, giving patients a new smile with well fitting, natural looking dentures, within 24 hours.
This is the second year Express Dental Labs has used the Stratasys TrueDent solution. Last year, nearly 40 Oklahomans in need received new dentures as part of the OkMOM event.
TrueDent dentures are a full-color, single continuous print of both denture base and teeth. Stratasys technology enables multi-colored, personalized appliances to be printed simultaneously on a single high-capacity tray.
