Did you ever stop to think how the tools and materials at your dentists office have evolved? Or maybe it's poised to happen: using 3D printers for dentistry to create dental resin is one of the best and most exciting things going on right now. Wow, this new technology is really blowing me away with how it is changing the Working flow of a dentist.
Dental resin is a type of material that dentists use to fill cavities, or make crowns, or even create false teeth for those who need them. Back in the day when you had a cavity, your dentist needed to create molds of your teeth and send them out to a lab where each piece was fabricated. But this could be a long and tedious process, as you would probably have to sit around for your dental labor. With 3D printing, however, dentists are now able to produce offers while you wait and right in the office! When you do watch it happen, its like magic!
You know what was — honestly?/One of the coolest aspects of 3-D printing is that it enables dentists to develop individualized plans, specifically tailored for you. Your dentist uses a special scanner to capture an image of your teeth and then devise the most appropriate treatment plan for you. That way each patient receives the best care available.
As an example, before creating dental crowns we would make them based on a generic shape that could work for the majority of people. However, with 3D printing it has become possible for the dentists to create crowns that are just right in your tootharchy. This increases the level of being comfortable, and that yields more effective outcomes. Because it never doubt in the fit of your crown!
There is no doubt that you have once or twice sat in the dental chair with your mouth being plastered up and around some mold while the dentist takes an impression of your teeth. It can be very unwanted and cringey. Thanks to a new technology now, this process has become quite an ease for the patients with 3D printing. Your dentist makes a 3D model of your teeth using a scanner instead of having to take an impression with goopy material in your mouth. And this saves not only a lot of time with the dentist but also results in more accurate casts being made.
So where next for 3-D printing in dentistry? New materials New material development for these 3D printers is already in progress by scientists and researchers. While some are drafted to last longer, or others aid in healing tooth tissue more effectively. That will just mean even better dental care!
Someday, 3D printing might be used to print off and create complete denture sets at one time. What if you could have a full set of dentures made same-day? This will be a major upgrade from the current experience where waiting around can take time and not very comfortable for patients, either.
