The State of the Art in 3D printing from scanning to delivery.

Description:

Additive manufacturing utilizing resin based 3D printing has taken dentistry by storm. We now have the ability to simplify lab processes to enhance the clinical process through rapid prototyping, faster iterations and even permanent restorations. With modern workflows efficiency is the name of the game. As patients’ esthetic, time and financial demands increase demands we can provide solution through 3D printing. Every aspect of the clinical process can benefit by allowing the laboratory to support the clinician through digital smile design, waxups, try ins, surgical and tooth preparation guides etc. Dental resin manufacturers have heeded the call for better, stronger resins and simpler processes for finishing appliances. This presentation will take us through the process of meeting the patient’s expectation using additive technology. Workflows will be demonstrated to cover surgical guides, Full arch all on X prostheses, dental restoration, Dentures etc. Resin characteristics for different applications will be discussed as well as the evolution that led us to the current state of the art. A particular focus will be the interaction between the laboratory and the clinician. What can and should be 3D printed in the clinical setting and what the laboratory’s role can be especially as in office 3D printers become ubiquitous. The future is now. Embrace current dental applications for 3D printing and prepare for more evolution in this arena.
