TrueTooth – Pre-Molar

TrueTooth 3D printed teeth are the exact reproduction of internal and external anatomy of extracted teeth.  TrueTooth teeth are created with special heat-resistant polymer, and proudly 3D printed in the USA.  Special handling is necessary to realize the maximum benefits of using TrueTooth.

Access:

• Use handpieces at 1,000 RPM with no torque limit.
• Ultrasonics are not ideal, but work best when used wet.

Negotiation:

• Negotiate as normal using a lubricant.

Shaping:

• Use handpieces at normal RPM and torque settings.

Irrigation:

• Irrigate as normal using NaOCl in a syringe with a side-vent needle. TrueTooth canal tissue will dissolve after 40 minutes of irrigation, similar to vital teeth.

Obturation:

• Continuous Wave or other heated obturation techniques: use heat pluggers at 175 degrees Celsius.
• Carrier-based obturation: obturate as normal.

Radiographs:

• Use the shortest exposure time and the lowest KVP. After radiographing, lighten and sharpen image on screen for optimum viewing.

Helpful Tip:

• Use alcohol on outer surface of TrueTooth during procedure for optimum visibility. Alcohol can be used in place of NaOCl.
