TY - JOUR A1 - Schweiger, Josef A1 - Edelhoff, Daniel A1 - Güth, Jan-Frederik T1 - 3D printing in digital prosthetic dentistry: an overview of recent developments in additive manufacturing T2 - Journal of Clinical Medicine N2 - Popular media now often present 3D printing as a widely employed technology for the production of dental prostheses. This article aims to show, based on factual information, to what extent 3D printing can be used in dental laboratories and dental practices at present. It attempts to present a rational evaluation of todays´ applications of 3D printing technology in the context of dental restorations. In addition, the article discusses future perspectives and examines the ongoing viability of traditional dental laboratory services and manufacturing processes. It also shows which expertise is needed for the digital additive manufacturing of dental restorations.
