Abstract :

 

3D PRINTING” an umella term for host of processes and technologies that offer a full spectrum of capabilities for the production of parts and products in different material. It is generally used to describe a manufacturing approach that builds objects one layer at a time, adding multiple layers to form an object. This process is more correctly describe as additive manufacturing, and is also referred to as RAPID PROTOTYPING. With advances in 3D imaging and modeling technologies such as cone beam computed tomography and intraoral scanning, and CAD CAM technologies in dentistry, it will become of increasing importance. Uses include the production of drill guides for dental implants, the production of dental models for prosthodontics, orthodontics and surgery, the manufacture of dental, craniomaxillofacial and orthopedic implants, and the faication of crown copings and framework for implant and partial dentures. This technology eliminates labor intensive artisanal production techniques, allowing dentist to focus his manual skills on more creative aspects of manufacturing process. As applications of 3D printing are emerging almost by the day, we have just begun to see the potential of it. This is something that can ing us forward. I see it as a future of dentistry.
