Rapid Prototyping: A Future of Modern Dentistry
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
Emergence of advanced digital technology has opened up new perspectives for design and production in the field of dentistry. Rapid prototyping (RP) is the name given to the host of related techniques that are used to fabricate the physical models based on computer aided design and manufacturing. RP technology allows building of a three-dimensional (3D) model layer by layer, by additive process, reproducing almost every form of the external and internal anatomical structure by using 3D printers or stereolithography machines. RP is used in dentistry for a range of dental specialties including orthodontics, oral surgery, operative dentistry, prosthodontics etc. It has advantages of simplicity, flexibility, reliability, accuracy, better visualization and time saving. In this world of digitalization, rapid prototyping provides fascinating opportunities and can act as efficient auxiliary for diagnosis, treatment planning and treatment of patients as well. RP technologies are playing an imperative role in dentistry and will soon become one of the mainstream digital technologies holding the potential to change the conventional dentistry.
