3D-printed dentures are the future！
Compared with traditional denture technology, 3D printed dentures have more advantages and are the future development trend. With the improvement in living standards, denture customers have higher and higher requirements for dentures. Traditional denture technology is time-consuming, technically demanding, and costly, while 3D-printed dentures have a short time, relatively low technical requirements and costs, and are comfortable. Therefore, 3D-printed dentures will gradually become the mainstream of the denture market.
The process of 3D printing dentures is as follows: technicians draw a virtual model in the computer through a scanner, then design the dentures, and transmit the data to the 3D printer after completion. The nozzle in the 3D printer sprays the liquid resin material onto the printing plate according to the denture model made, and then it is formed by light curing. After that, the plate is continuously slid over the model to be "sculpted".
Printed resin models require insert casting. The male and female molds are made with instruments, then the resin mold is fired into the cavity, and the cavity is filled with a metal solution, which is cooled to form a metal denture.
Next, the metal dentures are covered with porcelain, stained according to the color of the patient's other teeth, and finally installed.
The biggest advantage of 3D-printed dentures is high precision. There is no need for repeated grinding afterward, which can reduce the pain of fitting dentures. It only takes about 4 hours to print a fixed denture.
By converting personal oral information into digital models, 3D-printed dentures can create digital archives of oral health information for customers and can form a database on the basis of big data to provide digital support for the oral health industry. There has always been a gap in the oral data of Chinese residents, which has led to the blindness of the oral health industry. Through 3D printing denture technology, an extensive collection of customer oral information. After reaching a certain scale, the spoken data of Chinese residents can be classified and refined with the help of big data. In order to achieve the purpose of providing data support for the oral health industry.
