The Impact of 3D Printing in Dentistry

While milling machines are the traditional CAM technology, the rise of 3D printing is creating a new dynamic in the Dental CAD/CAM Market. This trend is a growing area of interest, as discussed in reports like the one on the Dental CAD/CAM Market. 3D printing is particularly well-suited for creating surgical guides, models, and aligners, while milling remains dominant for single-unit crowns and bridges. The two technologies can be complementary, with a single digital file being sent to either a mill or a 3D printer depending on the application. The discussion could center on the strengths and weaknesses of each technology, and whether 3D printing will eventually compete with or simply complement milling in the dental practice.
