Aplikimi i printimit tredimensional në terapinë protetike me implante

Abstract

Titanium and titanium alloys have been used in dentistry for many years, to manufacture dental implants and other prosthetic appliances. Due to their excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility, they can completely replace the use of traditional alloys in modern dentistry. With the progress and development of new technologies, the three-dimensional (3D) printer was designed, namely the technology of creating three-di- mensional physical objects from digital data (CAD-CAM system). The case presented in the paper describes the way of the manufacturing of titanium-ceramic bridg- es, with the help of computer-aided design and printing (CAD-CAM).
