TITANIUM IMPLANT FOR DENTAL APPLICATIONS USING 3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY

ABSTRACT The generic name was given to the production technology in which 3D objects are created by the sequential arrangement of material layers, also known as rapid prototyping or 3D printing. 3D printing technology has made it possible for many technological breakthroughs in medical and mass reproduction fields, especially in materials that these printers function. Recent developments have shown that titanium is allowed to be used as a building material in the 3D printing process. Titanium is a phenomenon in biomedical applications due to its superior dynamic and static properties. The unique anatomy of the orbital in living tissue applications of titanium implants, biologic inconveniences such as emerging surgical approach difficulties and inadequate modularity between bone and implants are predicted to be solved by the commitment of 3D Production to produce complex biomedical devices according to computer design using patient-specific anatomical data. In this study, it is aimed to give brief information about 3D printing technology and its advantages and to give information about the effects and advantages of 3D printing technology on titanium implants.
