Dental rapid prototyping systems are an important part of dentistry. Rapid prototyping is a type of computer aided manufacturing, makes physical objects from computer generated data. It can be used to create dental prosthetics, veneers, bonding, casting, crowns, and other useful dental products. It is a technique to quickly and automatically construct a three-dimensional model of a part or product using 3D printers or stereo-lithography machines. Rising dental needs have encouraged several companies to come up with new and innovative product ideas.
Dental rapid prototyping systems help to manufacture dental parts that can be used in a variety of dental treatments, as well as to address dental concerns like chipped or broken teeth, uneven crown shapes, worn out caps, or misaligned mandibular nerve ends. Prosthetic components are manufactured and configured on 3D printers or computer-controlled units and mailed off to dental professionals for installation and use. The speed at which dental parts can be produced has increased dramatically with the use of dental rapid prototyping systems.
There are many dental components that can be manufactured using this method such as dental veneers, crowns, dentures, bridges, caps, and orthodontic appliances. Thus, increasing number of dentists are incorporating dental rapid prototyping systems into their practice to provide an improved prosthetic and better overall dental care for their patients. Such high-quality products have enabled the production of less expensive products at significantly lower costs, resulting in significant cost savings to the dental healthcare provider.
Rising cases of tooth decay have also increased the demand for rapid prototyping. As of 2019, around 45% of children aged 6 to 11 years old had dental caries, according to the medical examinations conducted at schools across Japan. Moreover, dental rapid prototyping systems have various applications, such as maxillofacial prosthesis, dental prosthesis with wax pattern, frameworks for partial dentures, zirconia prosthesis, molds for metal castings, fabrication of implant surgical guides, and complete denture.
