3D PRINTING

I met Larry Brown a few times at the NEC in the technicians' area. He is a lovely, unassuming, extremely bright, and engaging person. At the time, he mentioned that while it wasn’t yet possible to create long-lasting indirect restorations, it would be soon.

That time has arrived, although we've been slow to embrace digital technology.

I have produced many Volkscrowns for the NHS using milled hybrid materials. Additionally, I have made inlays, onlays, occlusal, labial, and palatal veneers. However, the limitation was that the milling machine could only produce one restoration at a time.

With 3D printing, multiple restorations can be made in a single print, significantly reducing work time.

This video demonstrates my previous methods of using a scanner to create a variety of indirect restorations. With significant advancements in software technology, many of the manipulations that were once necessary are no longer required.
I believe there is no valid reason why dental therapists shouldn't utilize this technology. If a restoration is deemed unsuitable, the software will alert users with a clear warning signal. I used a milling machine that made on restoration at a time. 3D printing allows multiple restorations in a single print.

At the end of this BDA article in 2006 is the reference, and defence of the Hall crown. In many ways, many dentist's have tried to make the NHS dental structure work as a business, but the people
