Summary of How 3D Printed Dentures Are Made

00:00:00 - 00:00:00

In the YouTube video "How 3D Printed Dentures Are Made," it is explained that dentures are made using a 3D printer and special programmable acrylic resins. First, impressions are taken of the patient's mouth in order to create a stone model of the upper and lower jaws. Next, the models are scanned in a high-tech scanner and the denture is digitally designed. Once the design is complete, the denture is printed on a high-tech carbon 3d printer. After the parts have been printed and cleaned, the teeth are attached to the base with a small amount of resin and a few seconds of controlled ultraviolet light. Finally, the dentures go through a final curing process which is achieved with a very powerful ultraviolet light.

• 00:00:00 Dentures are made using a 3D printer and special programmable acrylic resins. First impressions are taken of the patient's mouth, and these impressions are later used as molds to create a stone model identical to the upper and lower jaws of the patient. The models along with the wax are scanned in a high-tech scanner and the scanners are highly precise and accurate. The process of digitally designing the denture can begin. Once the design is complete, the denture can be fabricated using a 3D printer. Dentures are made from a very specialized programmable acrylic resin and there are many different resins to choose from depending on the final color desired for the teeth and gums. The printing can begin and the dentures are printed on a high-tech carbon 3d printer. After the parts have been printed and cleaned, the teeth are attached to the base with a small amount of resin and a few seconds of controlled ultraviolet light. Next, the dentures must go through a final curing process which is achieved with a very powerful ultraviolet light. During the curing process, the dentures are submerged in a hot glycerol bath the heat from the bath will help the residents to cure fully while the glycerol prevents oxygen from reaching the surface
