How important teeth are to us is the application of 3D printing in dentistry.

application area 

Dental crown, 3D printing dental crown is one of the most common applications of 3D printing in dentistry. Just scan the patient's teeth, model them by 3D printing, and print the crown directly.



It is planned that biocompatible materials must be used for printing whether complete dentures, gums or teeth, and denture bases can also be printed in 3D. At present, 3D printing dentures are only suitable for clinical testing.

Creativity with the continuous development of orthodontic treatment technology, more and more people have the demand for orthodontics. 3D printing is based on digital models and applies corresponding materials to explore more ideal orthodontic treatment methods and bracket design methods.

After the tooth model of invisible braces is made, the transparent diaphragm is wrapped on the model by thermoplastic molding process, so that a suitable invisible braces can be made quickly. It can be said that invisible braces are an industry born of 3D printing.

In dental 3D printing technology, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a milestone of technological innovation in the dental industry, and it is not difficult for patients' various "tricky needs" to overcome it! Therefore, dentists can customize the perfect solution for patients to solve problems. 3D printing devices are more cost-effective than traditional devices, which can minimize costs. In addition, 3D printing technology is also more accurate and has a longer service life. Currently, the main devices used include DLP and LCD 3D printers, such as piocreat LCD dental 3D printer - dj89.

The digital dental technology of 3D printing has brought dental data with high precision, low cost, high efficiency and in line with the standardized production chain to the dental industry. It has developed rapidly in the dental industry. Many dental clinics and laboratories have introduced 3D printing technology, which provides great help for dental diagnosis and treatment. No wonder 3D printing technology is so popular in the dental industry!

Printing process
The process of 3D printing dental molds is not complicated. As long as the patient's tooth data is scanned by a 3D scanner, and then printed by a 3D printer, most of the dental molds that can be cast are printed using DLP technology in light curing. The efficiency and accuracy have been improved qualitatively. To sum up, the steps of dental mold printing are as follows: model making - cleaning and curing - a kind of resin - using special gypsum powder for resin to open the powder - entering the furnace at 550 ° C - casting - casting parts (natural drying).

Dental mold additive manufacturing refers to the technology of accumulating and stacking materials point by point and layer by layer to form a three-dimensional entity through dispersion accumulation. In short, it is a process of adding layers by layer to print a three-dimensional physical object. According to its characteristics, it is also called additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping, arbitrary molding, etc.
Additive manufacturing reduces manufacturing costs and improves production efficiency by reducing mold costs, materials, assembly, and R & D cycles. The additive used in dental 3D printing generally uses resin raw materials for printing. There will be different additives for different dental molds, such as dental flexible resin, high transparency resin, 3D dental mold resin and 3D dental casting resin. The dental model produced by 3D printing has no peculiar smell and will not make you feel uncomfortable to wear,!
