How important are teeth to us

How important is the application of 3D printing in dentistry

application area

Crown

3D printing crown is one of the most common applications of 3D printing in dentistry. Just scan the patient's teeth, print and model them in 3D, and print the crown directly.

plan

Whether complete dentures, gums or teeth must be printed with biocompatible materials, and the denture base can also be printed in 3D. At present, 3D printed dentures are only suitable for clinical testing.

originality

With the continuous development of orthodontic treatment technology, more and more people have the demand of orthodontics. 3D printing is based on digital model and applies corresponding materials to explore more ideal orthodontic treatment methods and bracket design methods.

Invisible braces

After the tooth model is made, the transparent diaphragm is wrapped on the model by thermoplastic molding process, so that the appropriate invisible braces can be made quickly. It can be said that invisible braces are an industry born of 3D printing.

characteristic

In dental 3D printing technology, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a milestone in technological innovation in the dental industry. It is difficult for patients to meet their "tricky needs"! Dentists can also customize the perfect solution for patients to solve problems.

3D printing equipment is more cost-effective than traditional equipment, which can minimize the cost. In addition, 3D printing technology is also more accurate and has a longer service life.

The digital dental technology of 3D printing has brought high precision, low cost, high efficiency and dental data in line with the standardized production chain to the dental industry.

The rapid development of 3D printing technology has helped many dental laboratories and clinics. No wonder 3D printing technology is so popular in the dental industry!

Printing process

The process of 3D printing dental molds is not complicated

Just scan the patient's tooth data through a 3D scanner

With the data

Then print it out by 3D printer

At present, most of them use DLP LCD technology in light curing

To print dental molds that can be cast

From efficiency and accuracy

Have improved in quality

Dental mold additive

The process of adding three-dimensional material layer by layer is simply the process of adding three-dimensional material layer by layer. According to its characteristics, it is also called additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping, arbitrary molding and so on.

Additive manufacturing reduces manufacturing costs and improves production efficiency by reducing mold costs, materials, assembly and R & D cycle.

The additive used in dental 3D printing generally uses resin raw materials for printing. There will be different additives for different dental molds, such as dental flexible resin, high transparency resin, 3D dental mold resin and 3D dental casting resin.
