Cleaning process  

Carefully remove the printed object from the platform with the help of a spatula. 

Clean the printed object by using a toothbrush and / or brush in two steps:  

Step 1: Pre-wash with reusable cleaning solution: 5% InovaPrint wash (hp-dent) + 95% tab water  

1.1 Vigorously swirl object in cleaning solution for 15 s using pliers or an arterial clamp. Ensure not to damage the printed object 

1.2 Remove excess resin by using a toothbrush and cleaning solution. In addition, a brush can be used to clean the inside of crowns. Shortly swirl object in cleaning solution as needed. 

Note: Clean toothbrush and brush regularly with 1-Propanol when covered with resin. Dry before reusing toothbrush or brush again for cleaning the printed object. 

1.3 Use compressed air under a fume hood with splash guard to remove the cleaning solution from the printed object’s surface.  

1.4 Repeat step 1.2 and 1.3 until just a thin layer of resin remains on the surface of the print.  

Step 2: Finish with fresh 1-Propanol (70 Vol.-%)  

2.1 Vigorously swirl printed object in 1-Propanol for 5 s and dry object immediately with compressed air.  

2.2 Check for remaining resin (shiny spots). If surface of printed object is matte, remove support structure as described in the following step (step 2.3). Shiny spots can be removed by quickly brushing the surface with a 1-Propanol soaked brush. Immediately dry object with compressed air. 

2.3 Remove the support structure with the help of a cutting wheel or side cutters. Ensure not to deform the printed object.  

2.4 Quickly clean occlusal surface with a 1-Propanol soaked brush to remove any excess resin. Immediately dry printed object with compressed air. 

Note: Contact time of printed object with 1-Propanol needs to be reduced to a minimum to avoid the formation of white spots on the surface. 

2.5 Post-cure the dental objects by using a validated post-curing unit.
