3D Printing in Dentistry

3D printing is a technology to produce a certain structure in a short period of time using additive manufacturing of data obtained through CAD Computer Aided Design . It involves layering a filament material onto labeled points of support in order to build up complex forms. It is a seamless manufacturing solution to get customized items for all areas. One growth area for 3D printing technology is digital dentistry, where dentists use 3D printers to produce models, dentures, braces, and implants. 3D printing has been an ally among dental practices worldwide. This process allows for custom fitted dental implants with minimal waste and maximum patient comfort. This paper examines the use of 3D printing technology in dentistry. Matthew N. O.
