Pac-Dent Rodin Titan
Overview
Pac-Dent Rodin® Titan is a new resin designed for full arch dental restorations and provisional hybrid dentures. It combines the mechanical strength of its previous version with significantly increased flexibility for exceptional impact resistance. This Class II ceramic nanohybrid resin, with over 51% ceramic filler content, maintains high performance and aesthetics. Its modified flexibility is specifically optimized for printing high-quality full arch restorations for various denture designs, including monolithic and screw-retained options.
Carbon has validated the following shades: A1, A2, A3, B1, C2, OM1 and OM3
This resin is not currently compatible with the AO Polishing Cassette.

Orientation
For detailed information about orienting parts, read Orient.
The following information applies to full arches only.
- Rotate AOX device to be parallel to the platform with occlusal surfaces facing the platform.
Surfaces that have overhangs will require supports. These supports affect fit and will require finishing to ensure proper seating.
Supporting
See Supports for detailed information.
This example demonstrates support of part parallel to the platform.
Select the Supports tab in the top bar or press Shift + S.
In the bottom bar, toggle Overhang Detection on and set the angle to 40 - 60 degrees.
Also in the bottom bar, set Toggle Platform to off.
Set Part Position to Above.
- In most cases, Patch is the only tool that will be required.
Support T-bars with fences.
Crowns, Bridges and Veneers
Orientation
For detailed information about orienting parts, read Orient.
- Rotate each part so that the margin and interface are free of overhangs.
- Occlusal surfaces should face the platform.
- Minimize overhangs on buccal/lingual surfaces.
Margins and interfaces that have overhangs will require supports. These supports affect fit and will require finishing to ensure proper seating.
Supporting
See Supports for detailed information.
Select the Supports tab in the top bar or press Shift + S.
In the bottom bar, toggle Overhang Detection on and set the angle to 40 - 60 degrees.
Also in the bottom bar, set Toggle Platform to off.
Set Part Position to Above.
Follow the application specific recommendations below.
Incisors and canines
In addition to supporting overhangs, these teeth require additional supports to maximize accuracy and print success:
- Secondary fence supports offset to the lingual side of the incisal edge/cusp tip
- Two rows of fences on the labial surface located at approximately 1/4 and 3/4 of the tooth height.
The example below shows the additional supports needed on a veneer for an incisor.
SECONDARY FENCE ON LINGUAL SIDE
1. Support overhang at incisal edge with a single fence.
2. Add secondary fence approximately 1 mm to the lingual side.
3. Generated supports.
4. Side view of generated supports.
TWO FENCES ON THE LABIAL SURFACE
1. Labial surface of veneer for incisor.
2. Add fences approximately 1/4 and 3/4 of the tooth height.
3. Generated supports.
4. Side view of generated supports.

Denture Try-ins
The following information applies to upper and lower denture try-ins.
Orientation
For detailed information about orienting parts, read Orient.
- Rotate try-ins to be 60 - 90 degrees with the anterior at the platform.
- If the try-in is less than 90 degrees from the platform, then orient so the occlusal side is facing the platform.
Typically, there will be overhangs on molars and labial surfaces.
Surfaces that have overhangs will require supports. These supports affect fit and will require finishing to ensure proper seating.
Supporting
See Supports for detailed information.
Select the Supports tab in the top bar or press Shift + S.
In the bottom bar, toggle Overhang Detection on and set the angle to 40 - 60 degrees.
Also in the bottom bar, set Toggle Platform to off.
Set Part Position to Above.
Follow the application specific recommendations below.
- Support all overhangs as needed using the Patch or Fence tools.
- In most cases, Patch is the only tool that will be required.
- When using Patch tool, set Fence spacing to 2 mm.
- If redundant bar supports are added, they may be manually deleted.
- Don't forget to support T-bars and the inner edge.
The example below shows a lower try-in oriented at 90 degrees (vertical) to the platform.
Anterior labial surfaces
T-bars
T-bars also require supports.
- Use fence supports to quickly support T-bars.
- Press ESC key to end a fence.
Inner lingual edge of lower try-in
Typically, only a single fence is needed to support the lingual edge.
Example of well-supported try-ins
Denture Teeth - Full Arches
The following information applies to full arches only.
Unlike other applications, denture teeth require placement of supports on basal surfaces.
Orientation
For detailed information about orienting parts, read Orient.
- Rotate full arch denture teeth 30 degrees up with the posterior at the platform.
- Occlusal surfaces should face away from the platform.
Surfaces that have overhangs will require supports. These supports affect fit and will require finishing to ensure proper seating.
Supporting
See Supports for detailed information.
Select the Supports tab in the top bar or press Shift + S.
In the bottom bar, toggle Overhang Detection on and set the angle to 40 - 60 degrees.
Also in the bottom bar, set Toggle Platform to off.
Set Part Position to Above.
- In most cases, Patch is the only tool that will be required.
- Limit supports to basal surfaces.
Example of well-supported full arch
Nesting
Select the Layout tab (Shift + L) in the top menu bar.
Under Auto Layout, select Gen2.
Gen2 usually gives the most efficient packing for dental devices.
Enter at least 1 mm in Padding.
Models require a minimum of 1 mm of space between them.
Leave Optimize starting rotation unchecked.
This leaves your parts in their previous orientations.
Leave Allowed rotations at the default setting.
This gives the software maximum flexibility to fit the most possible parts on the build platform.
Press the Auto Layout button to arrange your parts.
If necessary, nesting can be changed manually:
- Click and drag parts to adjust their position.
- Modify Z rotation by using the Spin tool or manual rotations under the Orient tab (Shift + O).
- Use the Part List tab as needed to more easily select models and focus on them.
Print Controls
Click Print Controls or Shift + P in the top menu bar.
Slicing
Set Slice Thickness to Standard (100 µm).
Reducing the slice thickness by choosing the Fine (50 µm) or Super-fine (25 µm) settings will increase print time and may reduce part quality and accuracy.
Print Profile
The default print profile is tuned to optimize accuracy of AOX geometries.
Starting with software v1.46, select the print profile Pac-Dent Rodin Titan Non-AOX Indications to reduce print time and maintain accuracy for non-AOX geometries.
Project Analysis
On the top menu bar, select the Project Analysis tab (Shift + A).
Press Start Analysis.
After a short time, the result of the project analysis will be displayed. Note the print time and the required resin volume.
Click Add to Queue.
Printing & Post-Processing
Consult the manufacturer IFU for dispensing, printing, washing, curing, bonding and finishing information.
Additional Notes
Roll Resin Overnight
Carbon recommends rolling the resin bottle overnight for the best accuracy of AOX implant holes.
Dispensing
Due to the higher viscosity of this resin, add an additional 200 ml of resin to the required resin volume provided by the Project Analysis.
Printing
- On M series printers, using software versions before v1.45 may result in print issues.
- For M3 and M3 Max, there may be false positives for debris detection.
Mix Resin between Prints
It is strongly recommended to mix resin in the cassette when adding resin between prints. This will help to maintain resolution of AOX implant holes.
