TrueDent: first high aesthetic, monolithic 3D printed denture solution to achieve certification in Europe

Stratasys has announced that its TrueDent resins have received CE marking as a Class IIa medical device, making them Europe’s first high aesthetic, monolithic 3D printed denture solution to achieve certification in the more than $2 billion market. This milestone enables broader regulated clinical use and expands patient access to polychromatic, monolithic 3D printed dentures, removable partial dentures, and crowns and bridges.

The expanded indication now includes intraoral removables for long term use of more than 30 days as well as crowns and bridges, allowing dental laboratories to address a wider range of restorative cases through a single, integrated digital workflow. As European providers continue scaling digital denture production, the certification supports broader clinical adoption while strengthening the commercial foundation for growth across the region.

According to a 2024 iData report, the demand for denture solutions in Europe continues to grow as the region’s opportunity for dentures is projected to expand from $2.19 billion in 2023 to $2.45 billion by 2028.

Under the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR), Class IIa devices are subject to an independent third party oversight and heightened regulatory scrutiny. For laboratories and clinicians, this classification reflects the regulatory standard commonly expected for restorative dental materials, strengthening confidence in routine clinical use and supporting broader market adoption across the region.

TrueDent-D was introduced in Europe in early 2025 under a CE Class I designation for denture production. While removable dentures are permitted under Class I, achieving CE Class IIa certification for TrueDent expands the indications and positions Stratasys to further penetrate the regulated European restorative market. It also gives dental labs, clinics, and patients even greater confidence in the validated biocompatibility, manufacturing controls, traceability and clinical safety and performance of the certified TrueDent resins.

‘Achieving CE Class IIa certification for TrueDent is an important milestone and supports the continued expansion of our dental business in Europe,’ said Chris Kabot, vice president dental, Stratasys. ‘By aligning TrueDent with the regulatory classification customers know and expect, we are providing additional clarity and confidence for clinicians and laboratories as they expand digital denture and temporary restoration workflows across the region.’

The transition to CE Class IIa requires no changes to print settings, formulation, workflow, or shelf life on the Stratasys J5 DentaJet printer platform. A defined conversion kit enables existing customers to move seamlessly from TrueDent-D to TrueDent certified resins, preserving established production processes and outcomes.

TrueDent resin colours include white, clear, cyan, magenta, and yellow.
