By 2020, the number of elderly people over the age of 60 will have doubled over 2000. With the intensification of aging around the world, the denture market has ushered in new opportunities for development, and the demand for dentures in the global market will further increase. Plastics companies are also investing their sights on the denture market, hoping to get a share of it.
Plastics companies develop new products to take the opportunity to open the dental market More and more plastics companies hope to develop new products to open up the dental market. Dens 3000, a company from Germany, has started using PMMA (two-component polymethyl methacrylate) to make dentures.
A spokesman for Dens3000 said that the plastic teeth are very close to the shape and structure of natural human teeth. They consist of an inner core material and an outer 'porcelain' layer, and the teeth's surface also has different hardness and color. The denture design patent shows that its core material is a thermoplastic material filled with siliceous glass, quartz and hydroxyapatite, while the exterior is a ceramic that can be injection molded and constrain the polymer.
According to Dens3000, thermoplastic teeth can be molded directly using injection molds without the need for any additional work. This is 'cost-effective', and its cost is five to ten times less than traditional thermosetting extrusions.
To mold 0.1-0.73g teeth requires four 8-cavity molds with injection pressures of 2.5-5.6g. The molding cycle of the teeth is 22-30 seconds. A complete set of 28 plastic dentures, 16 different shades and sizes of these plastic teeth were taken from 144 samples.
Plastic dentures have unparalleled unique advantages. Dr. Reinhard Lohse, medical physicist, who was the original creator and developer of the denture technology, said: 'I want to introduce and develop a dental market in the face of growing cost issues. Kinds of plastic teeth to attract the attention of consumers in Eastern Europe and China, because plastic dentures have the characteristics of quality and cheap, which is very competitive. '
In addition to being cost-effective, Dr Reinhard Lohse also stated that 'This tooth made from polymethyl methacrylate has a distinct advantage in that the chance of forming plaque and cracks is very small. 'Currently Dens3000's plastic teeth have a service life of around five to ten years.
To make plastic teeth faster for the public, Dr Reinhard Lohse has established partnerships with the IWK Institute for Materials Technology and Plastic Processing at the University of Kaiserslautern, University of Regensburg and Humboldt (Saar)**. After that, he began to develop preparation projects for production tools and mold prototypes. Dr Reinhard Lohse established Dens3000 in 2006.
This plastic tooth was completed by an Arburg ALLROUNDER 520A machine with four electric drives and 150 tons of force. Earlier this year, the machine provider Arburger expects Dens3000's plastic dentures to have a production capacity of up to $20 million a year.
At the same time, plastic materials have begun to make significant advances into the dental field. NT_Trading uses VICTREX PEEK polymer to replace titanium, cobalt, chromium, and Other metals implanted in denture semi-finished products to make patients feel more comfortable. PEEK has become the most important titanium replacement material since 1999. In terms of orthopedic diseases, cardiovascular diseases and titanium spinal implants, some polymer materials have high heat resistance, high resistance and unique biological properties due to their high heat resistance. Compatibility replaces the titanium material successfully.
