D Printing: A Look into the Future of Endodontics
Journal Title: Journal of Medical and Dental Science Research (Quest Journals JMDSR) - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
hree dimensional printing is a promising new technology in the field of dentistry. It is an additive manufacturing method in which 3D item is formed by laying down successive layers of material. It is a technology which can design and produce 3D models and is proving to improvise the standards of the treatment to the patients as it is less technique sensitive and more accurate. It works on the concept of additive manufacturing which has its own advantages compared to the substractive manufacturing process.Various dental pieces can be printed using methods like selective laser sintering (SLS), stereolithography, fused deposition modeling and laminated object manufacturing. 3D printing can be combined with oral scanning and CAD/CAM design to produce crowns, bridges, stone models and various orthodontic appliances. Improved success in dental implantology is due to improvement in digital technology and 3D printing.This article provides an overview on 3D printing and its applications in Operative Dentistry and Endodontics
