Chia-Yu (Jennifer) Chen, DMD, DMSc
With the advent of digital dentistry, clinicians find themselves inundated with new materials, hardware and software in daily practice. A thorough comprehension of the technologies will help us integrate digital solutions to promote communication, as well as accelerating treatment processes and optimizing treatment outcomes. This presentation will allow dentists to become familiar with the digital workflow, with an emphasis on the implementation of additive manufacturing, namely 3D printing technology in practice. The various 3D printing technologies (FDM, SLA and DLP) and their pros and cons will be discussed. Clinical scenario will be presented to demonstrate their respective indications.
