3D Printing
• 3D PRINTING DEFINITION
• TYPES OF 3 D PRINTERS
• GUIDED ENDODONTICS
• GUIDED ENDO.SURGERY
• AUTOTRANPLANTATION
• BIOPRINTING
• LIMITATIONS
CBCT - Accurate data & less radiation
• stereolithographic apparatus - S L A
• multijet printing - M J P
• Modelling software - Mimics, Amira, Rhino, Surgicare, ITK-Snap, InVesalius & 3D Slicer
• Fused deposition modeling(FDM) - extruder & plastic and layers deposited on a print bed
Materials used in 3D printing
• Polycarbonate - PC
2. Selective Laser sintering (SLS) - powders like polyamide, glass particle filled polyamide, rubber
like polyurethane
4. Bioprinter - Cell loaded gels & inks based on collagen, photopolymer resins, alginate, hyaluronan,
chitosa
Bioprinting
• 3 D fabrication technique - prints complex tissue constructs using hydrogels loaded with cells & print
• 4 D - materials change shape, colour, bioactive/ intend to perform function in response to external stimulus
• SRUGICAL GUIDES
• AUTOTRANSPLANTATION
• CLINICAL SIMULATION
• RESEARCH
GUIDED ENDODONTICS
3. CRACK FORMATION
5. MOBILE TEETH

Computer Assisted Apicoectomy
• System allowed precise localisation of the root & precise apicoectomy with minimally invasive cavity
• Non-experienced operator to precisely perform - minimally invasive osteotomy & root end resection
