The Manufacture of Molar and Dental Bridge through 3D Printing

Abstract:

The 3D printing method for the human tooth is a possible and good solution in the manufacture. However, the shrinkage is the most challenging problem to manufacture the tooth. In this paper, CAE analysis and experimental design are applied to predict the shrinkage of different dentures shape. Then the CAD model of the dentures can be reverse amplified before the sintering process. The product will be close to the patients’ requirements with precise dentures shape. It also avoids the complicated procedure of CNC machining and reduces dentists finishing time. The dental bridge is the main research objective investigated in this paper to verify the CAE simulation developed by the authors.
