Next-Generation Pediatric Dentistry with 3D Printing

Revolutionizing Child-Centered Dental Care through Additive Manufacturing

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is rapidly transforming pediatric dentistry by offering precise, customized, and patient-friendly solutions tailored to the unique needs of children. Beginning with digital scans or CBCT imaging, designs are created using CAD software and fabricated with advanced technologies such as SLA or DLP printing. In pediatric practice, 3D printing is applied widely-from diagnostic and educational models that improve parent communication and child cooperation, to the fabrication of customized appliances such as space maintainers, mouthguards, clear aligners, and habit-breaking devices. It plays a vital role in restorative and prosthetic care by enabling esthetic, well-fitting crowns and dentures, while in trauma management it allows for rapid fabrication of splints and prostheses. Surgical guides created via 3D printing ensure minimally invasive, accurate procedures in complex pediatric cases, such as cleft care or impacted tooth extractions. The advantages of this technology include precision, reduced chairside time, adaptability with growth, improved comfort, and enhanced communication, all of which are crucial in managing anxious young patients.
