Additive manufacturing of dental polymers: An overview on processes, materials and applications
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This review explores the use of four main additive manufacturing processes (SLA, MJ, DLP, FDM) to process polymers for creating various dental applications like dentures, surgical guides, and orthodontic appliances. While the potential is high, the field is still developing, particularly regarding the need for more biocompatible, durable, and easily processed polymers suitable for long-term intraoral use.

Scientists are using special 3D printers to make parts for your teeth, like fake teeth or braces, out of plastic. It's a cool idea, but they're still working on making the plastic strong and safe enough to stay in your mouth for a long time.

Explicación de la calificación
This review paper provides a decent overview of AM processes and dental polymers but suffers from several limitations. The lack of quantitative data, superficial discussion of biocompatibility, limited clinical relevance, and heavy reliance on manufacturer data prevent a higher rating. However, it offers a useful starting point for those new to the field of additive manufacturing in dentistry.
