Dental 3D Printing
Dental 3D printing is solidifying its position in the dental market. The establishment of this technology and its increasing use within the sector make it a tool that is undoubtedly here to stay.
The Success of Dental 3D Printing
The dental 3D printing industry has experienced annual growth of approximately 35%. This demonstrates widespread acceptance among dentists, dental technicians, and laboratories, which use dental 3D printing to manufacture their products.
This type of technology is extremely efficient, as well as precise and highly flexible in production. These characteristics allow it to be used for both dental prostheses and crowns, among other solutions.
Forecasts indicate that over the next few years, resin- and metal-based 3D dental printing will become the primary method for performing dental treatments, particularly in the field of dental prosthetics. It is the use of resin that has enabled dental 3D printing to grow exponentially.
These systems represent a significant advancement in producing the final geometry. With dental 3D printing, various parts can be created using plastic or wax, depending on their intended purpose. Removable prostheses can then be fabricated from these parts.
Benefits of Dental 3D Printing
The success of this technology is primarily due to its benefits. Among these, we can highlight the superior finish achieved in dental parts compared to traditional methods. Furthermore, unlike CAD and CAM systems, no waste is generated.
Dental 3D printing is a layer-by-layer technology tailored to specific needs. However, the restorations produced are not final, as is the case with the aforementioned systems.
Finally, 3D technology offers greater possibilities in terms of geometries, making it very useful when these are complex.
At Knotgroup Dental Institute, we offer the masterclass “3D Printing in Dentistry.” This masterclass will explain the characteristics of this technology, as well as its advantages. For more information on this topic, you can contact us directly via this link.
