Intended Use
Enlighten BB Base, developed by ENLIGHTEN MATERIALS Co., Ltd., is a light-cured resin indicated for the fabrication of full removable denture bases in dental laboratories. It is an alternative to traditional heat-cured, auto-cured or light-cured denture base resins. Enlighten BB Base should be used exclusively by dental professionals. Fabrication of denture bases with Enlighten BB Base requires a computer-aided and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system including the following; optical impression system, design software (CAD software), stereolithographic additive printer, and post-cure unit.
Device Story
BB Base is a photosensitive, methacrylate-based resin used for additive manufacturing of full removable denture bases. The workflow involves capturing patient anatomy via an optical impression system, designing the denture base using CAD software, and printing the structure using a stereolithographic additive printer (385-405 nm light). Following printing, the device undergoes final polymerization in a UV-light curing box. The device is intended for use by dental professionals in laboratory settings. The resulting denture base provides a functional alternative to traditional heat- or auto-cured acrylic resins. Clinical benefit is derived from the precision and efficiency of the CAD/CAM fabrication process for edentulous patients.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing for mechanical properties and biocompatibility. Mechanical testing (flexural strength, flexural modulus, residual monomer, water sorption, water solubility) confirmed compliance with ISO 20795-1. Biocompatibility testing followed ISO 10993-1, -3, -5, -10, and -11 standards. Risk assessment conducted per ISO 14971.
Technological Characteristics
Photosensitive, methacrylate-based resin containing photoinitiators (385-405 nm activation) and pigments. Classified as ISO 20795-1 Type 4 light-activated acrylic resin. Form factor: 1 kg liquid bottle. Requires external CAD/CAM system (optical scanner, CAD software, stereolithographic printer, UV post-cure unit).
Indications for Use
Indicated for the fabrication of full removable denture bases for edentulous patients in dental laboratories. For use exclusively by dental professionals.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
