3D Printing in Action: Permanent Single Crowns & Long-Term Provisional Bridges

The world of 3D printing has exploded with opportunities for fabricating restorations in-house. In fact, with today’s advancements in materials and workflows, 3D printers are now producing permanent crowns among a variety of other applications. Join Dr. Daniel Vasquez, a general practitioner and international lecturer, for an inside look at how he uses his SprintRay 3D printer to print permanent single crowns in-house. Dr. Vasquez will touch upon advancements in SprintRay’s 3D printing resin materials — a critical component for attaining proper mechanical properties, accuracy and fit — as well as: • Staining and glazing techniques for achieving natural, highly esthetic outcomes • A step-by-step procedural walk-through for bonding a 3D printed single crown • A discussion of other 3D printing applications, including long-term provisional bridges
