Advances in <scp>3D</scp> Printing for Removable Prosthetics—Insights and Perspectives
3D printing is transforming removable prosthodontics. Clinicians can already benefit from streamlined workflows, a standardized process chain, reduced treatment time, and the ability to reproduce dentures, while patients gain from improved comfort and fewer visits. Awareness of material limitations and processing-related specifics remains essential for long-term success. Looking ahead, multi-material printing-allowing simultaneous fabrication of denture bases, teeth, and maybe frameworks-holds promise for improving structural integrity, esthetics, and overall clinical efficiency.
