Hundreds of dental patients have 3D printed teeth
"Many patients suffering from oral diseases often say, 'It's too much trouble to have a tooth—too many visits back and forth.' This is a common frustration. However, with the advancement of 3D printing technology in dentistry, this process has become much simpler. Now, when you visit a hospital, the entire process—from creating a mold, designing, adjusting, to installing your new teeth—can be completed in one go. This is what we call 3D printed dental technology."
"According to the Department of Oral Prevention at the First Affiliated Hospital, since the hospital started using 3D printing for dental procedures last December, hundreds of patients from Yunnan have already received custom-made 3D-printed teeth."
"Mr. Yu, a 50-year-old man, lost his two front teeth at age 18 due to an accident. He experienced inflammation and pain for years before finally getting treatment. Although the issues were resolved, over time, his front teeth turned dark and he felt self-conscious about them. To avoid repeated visits and save time, Mr. Yu opted for 3D-printed all-ceramic teeth. The hospital’s team created a pair of custom incisors for him, allowing him to complete the entire process in just one visit."
"During a recent visit, the reporter observed the 3D printing equipment: a computer, a 3D printer, and a scanner connected to the computer. Before starting the procedure for Mr. Yu, the doctor used the scanner to capture detailed images of his upper and lower teeth, as well as their occlusion. Throughout the scan, soft music was played to help relax the patient. If any scans were incomplete or inaccurate, the machine would alert the operator."
"After the scanning was complete, the digital model of Mr. Yu’s teeth appeared on the screen. Using this data, the doctor created a 3D model and then proceeded to print the teeth. A porcelain block was placed into the printer, and three drill bits simultaneously shaped the ceramic into the desired form. Printing two incisors took less than 15 minutes, and the precision was impressive."
"Once printed, the dentist made minor adjustments based on the patient’s comfort before fitting the teeth into his mouth. Additionally, the color of the 3D-printed teeth could be customized to match the natural shade of the patient’s remaining teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural look."
