What is dental 3d printing?

3D printing is a disruptive technology being widely used in dentistry in the production of drill guides for dental implants, orthodontics, and surgery, manufacture of dental implants, and production of physical models for prosthodontics, orthodontics & surgery. Various technologies are used for 3D dental printing including VAT photo-polymerization, polyjet technology, fused deposition modelling, selective laser sintering, and others.

COVID-19 Impact

The covid-19 outbreak affected the growth of the dental 3D printing market for a short period as most of the dental clinics and laboratories were closed due to the imposition of lockdown to prevent the spread of the virus. Also, after the reopening of clinics, the number of people visiting clinics due to fear of getting infected thus affected the market growth. However, it is projected to have a long-term positive impact on the growth of Dental 3D Printing with a decline in cases, particularly in developed regions.
