Dental appliance fabrication material, thermoplastic

2,103 devices · GMDN 58288

Thermoplastic dental fabrication materials are used in labs to create custom-fitted dental appliances like dentures, retainers, or mouthguards. These materials are shaped through heat or digital techniques (such as CAD/CAM) to form precise, patient-specific devices that fit comfortably and function effectively in the mouth.

These materials are typically supplied in forms like beads, sheets, or milling blanks and are designed for single-use after fabrication. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their intended use and contact with oral tissues, with compliance requirements often tied to material safety and manufacturing standards.
