Will 3D printed medical products be better than traditional hand-made ones?

Compared with traditional medical treatment, the process steps of medical digitalization can make each examination link produce corresponding data records. The data about the patient's condition becomes accurate, and the doctor's diagnosis and treatment judgment will be more in place. In dentistry, the error of customized dental products printed by 3D is smaller than that made by hand, and the degree of restoration is higher. Individual differences should be considered as much as possible according to the different situation of each patient.

2. Save time and cost

In the past, it took at least two months from dental visit to wearing braces, including dental examination, grinding teeth, waiting for braces to be made, and doctors sticking braces. Patients also need to go to the hospital for a follow-up visit from time to time, so that the doctor can adjust the braces, and sometimes they will even be worn out and inflamed by the steel wire of the braces. After joining the 3D printing digital clinic, the traditional steel hoop braces were gradually eliminated. Nowadays, many people choose to wear transparent orthodontic braces, which shortens the time of dental care. It takes about 7- 10 days from dental care to wearing invisible braces, which is more beautiful and comfortable than the traditional steel hoop braces. Just go to the hospital regularly and get new braces.

3. Improve the quality of dental products.

At present, some auxiliary products used in dental treatment will be produced by 3D printing technology, because of its small error, better fitting the oral condition of patients, lower rework rate and better comfort than traditional ones.

Step 4 upgrade the equipment

Let's take the medical 3D printing application in the dental field as an example. With the help of 3D printing technology and special scanning equipment for oral cavity, you can go to the clinic for orthodontics, and you don't have to chew silica gel dental molds with your mouth. The traditional occlusion process is very uncomfortable and gives you goose bumps. Dental clinics don't have to send dental casts to manufacturers, which saves waiting time, and mailing usually takes a long time. Now you only need to scan the patient's mouth with a special oral scanner, and the collected data can be uploaded to a 3D printer.

Generally speaking, the advantage of medical 3D printing technology mainly lies in its accuracy, which can bring convenience to people and save a lot of time.
