Rapid Prototyping In Prosthodontics

Rapid Prototyping Technology is used to manufactures dental replacements in a layer by layer manner directly from a model created by the computer easily and quickly. It made a rebellious alteration in the manufacturing of dental prosthesis. The evolution and research of the variety for RP techniques and materials which used with it make the creation of various types of dental prostheses for different implementation is possible. As in fabrication of wax pattern and molds for dental prosthesis, zirconia prostheses and metal prosthesis. Although the present limitations in using RP technique such as excessive cost of equipment¿s, its depends on the user experience and complexity of the machines. But it thought to play an important role in dental prosthesis fabrication, it may become one of the most important techniques in digital prosthdontics. With time, more sophisticated implementations of RP will be available to be more benefit for more patients.
