Surgical guides for dental implants offer a number of essential benefits to dentists, oral surgeons, and patients. Chief among these is convenience: when you can plan a complex surgery completely digitally first, you are far less likely to make a mistake, and far more likely to complete the job perfectly. But safety is surely the […]
Read MoreDental implant surgical guides let dental professionals, radiologist, technicians, and cosmetic surgeons collaborate over the Web and proprietary software platforms to create better outcomes. This much is known to many in our field, but it remains somewhat novel to many people outside of it. Yet as more people awaken to the benefits of surgical guides […]
Read MoreHere’s a good technical look at the question that governs our entire industry: Can surgical guides for dentists actually improve outcomes, and help to reduce some of the complications that can impair patient health? In fact they can, as the data have long suggested. But this latest study took a rigorous look at surgical guide […]
Read MoreSurgical guides are only getting better. And as more dental professionals come to rely on these lightweight, accurate devices, more journalists are beginning to cover their myriad benefits in print. The Washingtonian recently published a full article about 3D printing in the field of dentistry, noting that working through software and fabrication eliminates human error, […]
Read MoreOne more post this week on the paradigm shift that 3D printing has heralded, and the many ways that medical care will become easier, faster, and more democratic around the globe thanks to this emerging technology. This article lays out the argument for where we’re headed, noting that bioprinted limbs, organs and pills are already […]
Read MoreThere was a time when the only way to transmit goods was via boat, plane, rail or truck. That time was just a few years ago, yet we continue to live within its rules and boundaries. But ever so slowly, something began to shift a few years ago when 3D printing hit the mainstream. For […]
Read MoreHere we go again: Yet another medical milestone has been reached in the realm of 3D printed medical technology. This time it’s a pill that is also a machine, capable of adjusting dosage from inside your body – no wires or forceps necessary: The pill works by using polymers to separate internal components. These polymers […]
Read MoreWe love stories like these, which demonstrate just how quickly our field of 3D printed medical technology is evolving. Goals which were once considered decades away are falling more rapidly than anyone expected, including the recent news that living tissue has made great strides in the printing space: After being released from a 3D printer […]
Read MoreIt has been well established for some time that custom, transparent aligners can mirror the effects of those old-fashioned braces many of us grew up with. Companies like InvisAlign have made significant inroads over time espousing the value of this approach, even snagging the tacit endorsement of a certain A List star on the world’s […]
Read MoreWe’ve written some posts where we focus on our stock in trade – 3D printed surgical guides for dental implants – and others where we take a step back to survey the state of the technology generally. This week we became aware of yet another story of victorious technology in the realm of medical applications. […]
