What is the latest innovation in 3D printing?
Dental 3D printers have been in the dental industry for a long time. In the past 20 years, it has been very active. However, in the past five years, the biggest change in dentistry and 3D printing is actually the affordability and ease of use of the system. Most importantly, improved biocompatible materials that can be used directly in the oral cavity.
What are the benefits of using 3D printers in dental practice?
3D printers actually fundamentally make digital files and workflows a reality. This really applies to any dentist, orthodontist or other person who uses digital technology. If a clinic adopts a digital approach and purchases a 3D intraoral scanner, 3D printing can enable them to turn models, parts, and equipment into real objects.
In fact, it does enable dentists to take advantage of digital workflows and the efficiency and accuracy that they bring. All of these will not lose the ability to do things locally, such as printing learning models. Real return on investment and improved patient care capabilities can be printed on splints, surgical guides, and dentures. It can help ensure that the process requires fewer steps, ultimately leads to better results for the patient, and can indeed satisfy everyone.
