3D printing has been hailed as a disruptive technology which will lead us towards modernization. 3D printing has been used in art, design, aerospace and is becoming a great interest in surgery. This technology has a special connection with dentistry and with advances in 3D imaging such as Cone Beam Computer Tomography or CAD CAM it has become of great importance in dentistry.
How 3D printing is reshaping dentistry
Dentistry is the field where all prosthesis is custom made for patient. There is no one size that fit all when it comes to crowns, bridges or implants. This makes 3D printing an ideal fit for dental industry as it is possible to make crowns, surgical guides and trays as quickly as possible, thus, there is no need to go through long processes such as taking physical impressions and creating plaster mock up. Thus, prosthesis can be printed immediately without even having patient to leave the chair.
