IBT Resin is a light-curable polymer based material designed for 3D printing biocompatible, indirect bonding trays for dental bracket placement. Users should independently verify the suitability of the printed materials for their particular application and intended purpose. IBT Resin is a photopolymer resin made of a mixture of methacrylic esters and photoinitiators.
A resin that polymerizes under heat (heat-cured), light (light-cured), and/or after a period of time (self-cured) intended to be used in the dental laboratory to manufacture a patient-worn dental appliance (e.g., denture base, occlusal splint/night guard); it may in addition be intended to fabricate non-patient-worn devices (e.g., drilling templates using 3-D printing). It consists of a reactive component (e.g., acrylic monomer, reactive polymer) that hardens via polymerization [or vulcanization]. Reinforcing fillers may be included in the resin to increase its strength and/or durability. After application, this material cannot be refabricated.
