Innovations in Dentistry: The Potential of 3D Printing
Oral hygiene should be practised from childhood. Dentists worldwide never recommend over-the-counter (OTC) medicines for dental problems, and proper care and medical tools are always used, taking into account the health conditions of the patient. Over the past 10 years, 3D printing technology has become more accessible to clinicians and has allowed them to offer more accurate, cost-effective and faster treatments to patients. With advancements in applications in dentistry from the fields of prosthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and oral implantology, dental technology has also been upgraded at par with any other medical treatment. Innovation in Dental Science According to scanning technologies in dentistry journals, innovations in dental science have developed over the years and are used for powder bed fusion, photo polymerization moulding and fused deposition modeling. The dental industry has adopted 3D printing in recent years, and it has risen at a fast pace. This is due to the high demands for cosmetic dentistry driving growth with a scope of in-house dental 3D printing and 3D printed products. <br><br><br>As a dental technology, 3D printing in this industry is also considered an advanced solution that offers high quality and perfectly shaped dental products such as crowns and bridges, dentures, surgical guides, and teeth implants. Consequently, with the introduction of specialized dentistry courses, dental university, such as AIMST, also offer Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS), DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery), DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicines) and other diploma courses.
