Introduction
This application guide is a step-by-step walkthrough of the workflow for producing direct composite restoration guides with Formlabs IBT Flex Resin and Formlabs Dental 3D printers, specifically focusing on the production of guides used for direct composite technique (injected or pressed). This guide was developed in collaboration with Digital Smile Design (DSD). Always consult the official Manufacturing Guide and Instructions For Use for the absolute requirements.
IBT Flex Resin is a flexible, tear-resistant material for directly printing guided trays or indexes for composite restorations. Equipped with high flexibility, tear resistance, and translucency, this material's exceptional printing accuracy perfectly replicates digital designs, from a single restoration to a full smile, saving valuable technician time while delivering consistent, predictable outcomes.

Scan
Dental design software requires a digital impression of the patient’s anatomy in order to design the direct composite restorative guides or indexes. To acquire this data, scan the patient directly with a 3D intraoral scanner or scan a physical impression or poured model with a desktop 3D scanner.
