3D PRINTING

In recent decades, 3D printing significantly impacted dentistry by improving clinicians' skills through realistic training and advanced surgical planning. Integrating 3D printing, CAD-CAM, intra-oral scanning, and CBCT data has transformative potential, creating intricate structures for research, treatment planning, training, and instruction.3D printing and digital dentistry revolutionized dental precision, reducing clinical equipment and chair-side time. This extends to complex craniofacial operations, where surgical guides and 3D-printed models enhance accuracy, reduce invasiveness, and improve predictability.Challenges in widespread adoption include a scarcity of trained operators, higher expenses, limited materials, post-processing needs, maintenance, and safety regulations. Ongoing developments signal a substantial transformation in dentistry.Unlocking these advancements requires imperative research, especially in regions like India, to enhance patient health and wellness through comprehensive approaches to harness the benefits of 3D printing and digital dentistry.
