3D Printing in Restorative Dentistry

Designed to promote the adoption of 3D printing in dental practices. The authors argue that this technology is crucial for the future of dentistry, citing issues like high student debt and low insurance reimbursements as motivators for implementing cost-effective, rapid manufacturing of prosthetics. The text covers topics such as evaluations of current 3D printers and resins, the superior mechanical properties of printed nanoceramics compared to traditional resins (specifically highlighting fracture toughness over flexural strength), and step-by-step clinical workflows for various applications. Detailed procedures are provided for fabricating and characterizing monolithic and split-file dentures, metal-free partials, and final restorations like crowns, veneers, and implant provisionals, often emphasizing same-day delivery and bonding protocols. The work also features information on educational courses offered by The MOD Institute to teach these digital dentistry techniques.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/dentistry_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
