Kexcelled MOLEGRID™ Gingiva Mask Flexible Dental Resin
Produce realistic, removable gum-tissue sections for implant and restorative dental models. Kexcelled MOLEGRID™ Gingiva Mask is a soft, flexible pink resin designed to help dental technicians inspect emergence profiles, margins, contours and restoration fit around the gingival area.
Flexible Gingiva Mask Resin for Realistic Dental Models
Kexcelled MOLEGRID™ Gingiva Mask is a soft, flexible pink dental resin developed for producing realistic, removable gingival sections for 3D printed implant and restorative dental models.
Used together with a rigid printed model, the material reproduces the soft-tissue area surrounding implants, abutments, crowns, bridges and other restorations.
The gingiva mask can be removed to expose the underlying model and repositioned for continued assessment, helping dental technicians inspect emergence profiles, margins, contours and restoration fit around the gum line.
Key Performance Benefits
- Soft and flexible behaviour: Shore 30A hardness provides a soft, pliable result suited to simulated gingival tissue.
- Realistic pink appearance: Creates a clear visual distinction between the rigid dental model and the surrounding soft-tissue area.
- Removable model component: The flexible section can be removed when access to implants, abutments, margins or underlying model geometry is required.
- High elongation: Supports practical fitting, removal and handling of the completed gingiva mask.
- Tear-resistant performance: Designed to withstand normal dental laboratory handling when printed and post-processed correctly.
- Detailed contour reproduction: Supports the reproduction of gingival anatomy, emergence profiles and soft-tissue relationships.
- 405 nm compatibility: Developed for compatible open-material LCD, MSLA and DLP resin printers using 405 nm UV technology.
Add Realistic Soft-Tissue Detail to Printed Dental Models
A rigid dental model can reproduce the teeth, implant locations and supporting structures accurately, but it cannot represent the flexible nature of gingival tissue.
MOLEGRID™ Gingiva Mask adds a separate, flexible soft-tissue component with a natural pink appearance. This helps create a clearer and more complete representation of the gingival area while preserving access to the implant or restoration beneath it.
The gingiva mask is printed separately and fitted into a corresponding recessed section within the rigid dental model. It can then be removed and repositioned as required during inspection, finishing and case assessment.
Designed for Implant and Restorative Workflows
Implant and Abutment Models
Produce removable gingival sections around implant analogues and abutments. Removing the flexible section allows the technician to inspect the underlying model geometry and assess the relationship between the implant component and surrounding soft-tissue contour.
Crown and Bridge Models
Gingival simulation can help technicians assess margins, emergence profiles and crown or bridge contours in relation to the gum line. The removable mask also provides access to preparation areas when required.
Pontic and Soft-Tissue Contour Assessment
Reproduce the gingival area around pontics and restorative components to support visual assessment of shape, contour and the relationship between the restoration and simulated soft tissue.
Dental Training and Case Demonstration
The combination of a rigid model and flexible pink gingival section creates a clear and professional physical representation for dental education, laboratory training and communication between dental technicians and clinicians.
Why Use a Removable Gingiva Mask?
A removable gingiva mask allows the completed dental model to show both the visible soft-tissue contour and the implant or restoration geometry beneath it.
This can support the inspection of:
- Implant and abutment positioning
- Restoration emergence profiles
- Crown and bridge margins
- Restoration contours around the gum line
- Pontic and soft-tissue relationships
- Contact areas surrounding the restoration
- Overall model presentation and case communication
The flexible material can be removed when direct access is required and repositioned for continued inspection of the complete model.

Printer Compatibility
MOLEGRID™ Gingiva Mask Version 1.0 is developed for compatible resin printers operating at a wavelength of 405 nm.
It may be suitable for many open-material LCD, MSLA and DLP printers, provided the machine allows appropriate control over exposure settings and supports third-party materials.
Compatibility cannot be determined from wavelength alone. Screen intensity, layer height, exposure control, model geometry and post-curing equipment can all influence the final result.
A small validation print should be completed before beginning production work. Customers should also confirm that the dental-model design includes a correctly sized and positioned section for the removable gingiva mask.
Recommended Processing Workflow
- Mix: Shake or mix the resin thoroughly before use to redistribute any settled pigment.
- Print: Use suitable starting parameters for the printer’s light source, exposure intensity and selected layer height. Validate settings before production use.
- Drain: Allow excess resin to drain from the printed gingiva mask before beginning the washing process.
- Wash: Clean the printed part using the method and solvent stated in the current manufacturer documentation.
- Dry: Allow the gingiva mask to dry completely before post-curing.
- Post-cure: Follow the manufacturer’s recommended curing procedure. Excessive post-curing may affect the final flexibility.
- Test the fit: Confirm that the printed mask can be fitted, removed and repositioned within the rigid dental model before beginning repeat production.
Processing requirements may vary according to the printer, wash equipment, curing chamber, gingiva-mask geometry and laboratory environment.
Storage and Safe Handling
- Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
- Store the resin in accordance with the temperature range stated in the applicable manufacturer documentation.
- Protect the resin from sunlight, UV exposure and excessive heat.
- Wear suitable protective gloves and eye protection when handling uncured resin.
- Avoid direct skin contact with uncured material.
