SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- June 25, 2026 -- Dentsply Sirona and HeyGears have announced the successful validation of Lucitone Digital Print Denture resins for one-piece denture production on HeyGears' new UltraCraft Multi-Material Fusion DLP 3D printer. The validation extends an existing collaboration between the two companies and establishes a production pathway that eliminates the bonding step previously required to attach Lucitone Digital IPN 3D denture teeth to the denture base. Dental laboratories using the combined workflow can now produce complete monolithic dentures in a single print run while maintaining the mechanical strength, esthetics, and durability associated with the Lucitone material platform. The announcement covers full-arch and partial denture applications.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- June 15, 2026 -- Dentsply Sirona has launched the WaveOne® Gold Orifice Shaper, its first reciprocating coronal flaring instrument, now available in the United States and Canada. The file is designed to integrate directly into the existing WaveOne® Gold treatment protocol, using the same reciprocating motion and motor settings as the rest of the system. That compatibility eliminates the need to change motor configurations during root canal preparation — a practical workflow improvement that reduces procedural complexity and the risk of operator error.
