Prosthetic treatment protocol with fixed dental constructions made on 3D printed cast patterns
Journal Title: Archives of Materials Science and Engineering - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 90
Abstract
Purpose: of the present paper is to develop prosthetic treatment protocol for fixed partial dentures made of 3D printed cast patterns. Design/methodology/approach: The clinical and laboratory protocols for manufacturing of fixed prosthetic constructions upon 3D cast patterns are developed on the basis of the literature review and our previous experimental investigations. Comparison between the conventional technique and innovative approach is made. Findings: The terms "semi-digital treatment plan" and "fully digital treatment plan" are defined according to the way of obtaining data for the virtual 3D model and the production method of the fixed prostheses. A classification of treatment protocols with non-removable partial dentures produced by additive technology is developed. Protocols for "semi" and "fully" digitized treatment plans with fixed partial dentures made by casting with 3D printed models are created. Research limitations/implications: Implementation of the fully digitized protocol for manufacturing of fixed prosthetic constructions via 3D printed prototypes requires specific equipment in the dental office and dental technician laboratory – intraoral scanner and CAD/ CAM system with 3D printing machine. Practical implications: Establishing of systematic clinical and laboratory protocols helps dental specialists to implement the innovative working approach in their practice with no risk of neglecting or omitting of some important procedures which increases the quality and long lasting effect of the dental constructions. Originality/value: Following the developed protocols reduces the role of the subjective factor in production technology of fixed prosthetic constructions while saving labour and time.<br/><br/>
