With the continuous development of modern technology, the application of digital technology in the field of dentistry is becoming more and more widespread. Among them, oral 3D printing technology is an important direction in oral digital technology, which can provide dentists with more accurate and rapid oral restoration solutions. So, how is oral 3D printing technology realised?

About Dental 3D Printing 

Oral 3D printing is a new type of oral restoration technology based on digital models, it is through the digital oral model input to the 3D printer, the use of specific materials layer by layer printed oral restorations, so as to achieve high precision and high reliability of oral restorations manufacturing. Compared with traditional hand-made oral restorations, oral 3D printing has the following advantages:

1. high precision: oral 3D printing technology can accurately print complex shaped restorations according to the oral digital model, with high manufacturing precision and accurate dimensions.

2. fast: oral 3D printing technology can quickly print oral restorations, thus shortening the manufacturing cycle and waiting time, accelerating the patient treatment process.

3. Personalisation: Oral 3D printing technology can be personalised according to the patient's oral digital model, which can meet the needs of different patients for oral restorations.

4. Variety of material selection: oral 3D printing technology can use a variety of different materials for manufacturing, such as resin, metal, ceramics, etc., can meet the material needs of different restorations.

In practice, oral 3D printing technology has been widely used in oral implantation, restoration, orthodontics and other fields, and can manufacture a variety of oral restorations such as implants, dentures, braces and so on. It should be noted that the application of oral 3D printing technology also needs to rely on digital oral scanning, CAD/CAM technology and other antecedent technologies, and at the same time in the use of the process needs to strictly control the materials, equipment and other links to ensure the quality and safety of oral restorations.
