Graphenano Dental emerged from its own studies on the reinforcement of polymer matrices, becoming a pioneer in incorporating graphene nanotechnology into dentistry with the aim of meeting the needs of the sector. Since its inception, the company has pursued a new material with novel properties that is versatile, easy to work with, precise and durable, as well as structurally stable, biodynamic and biocompatible. Thanks to graphene, and specifically to the doping of resins with this nanomaterial, it has successfully launched its first product: the G-CAM disc for CAD/CAM milling.
The graphene nano-reinforced biopolymer G-CAM disc, especially designed for permanent dental structures, is available in different chromatic crowns that have an extremely natural aesthetic appearance, as well as resolving all the mechanical, physicochemical and biological failures of the rest of the materials currently used in the sector.
The incorporation of graphene into autopolymerising acrylic resin is an innovative strategy to improve its mechanical properties, simultaneously increasing the elastic modulus as well as the tenacity, reducing the appearance of cracks and/or the spreading of them as well as decreasing the shrinkage rate during polymerisation. Graphene is the ideal candidate to improve the performance of autopolymerising acrylic resins for dental use, not only due to its high traction resistance, coefficient of thermal expansion, high capacity for absorption and lubrication, flexibility and high surface area, but also for its high weight to resistance ratio.
