A DMLS Co-Cr Bredent HIPC hybrid denture is a high-precision, implant-supported, full-arch restoration combining a 3D-printed Cobalt-Chromium framework (DMLS) for superior strength with a Bredent HIPC (High Impact Polymer Composite) aesthetic veneer. This combination ensures a durable, lightweight, biocompatible, and long-lasting prosthesis with high fracture resistance.
The foundation is created using Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), a CAD/CAM technology that fuses Cobalt-Chromium (Co-Cr) powder layer by layer, resulting in a, high-precision, dense, and lightweight metal structure. This framework provides excellent rigidity to prevent breakage.
Bredent’s HIPC is a highly cross-linked, tooth-colored composite material used to veneer the metal framework. It is known for its excellent gingival compatibility, resistance to plaque, and high color stability.
The hybrid aspect refers to the combination of the rigid Co-Cr metal substructure for structural integrity and the tooth-colored, durable HIPC composite for aesthetic prosthetic teeth and gingiva.
The denture is typically screw-retained to 4–6 implants (Malo Concept), providing a stable, fixed solution that does not require removal by the patient.
The combination of DMLS Co-Cr and HIPC offers superior strength and resistance to functional stresses compared to traditional acrylic dentures.
CAD/CAM technology allows for highly customized, precise fitting, minimizing chairside adjustments. The materials are highly biocompatible, reducing the risk of allergic reactions, while the lightweight design enhances comfort.
Bredent HIPC provides a natural tooth shade and gingival appearance.
