Aktueller Stand Extrusionsverfahren in der Dentaltechnik.

The summary of the article "Current State of Extrusion Processes in Dental Technology" describes the increasing importance of additive manufacturing in dental technology. The article provides an overview of the extrusion process, its applications, manufacturers, and various studies. It also presents future application possibilities. The most well-known extrusion process is the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) process, in which a thermoplastic polymer is melted and deposited on a build platform. Other materials such as ceramic or biological materials are also used. Various applications and indications for filament devices in dentistry are discussed. The article describes various materials and manufacturers used in additive manufacturing in dentistry. Various applications such as models, impression trays, complete dentures, facebow connectors, and inlays are mentioned. It emphasizes that multimaterial printing offers many possibilities but also brings challenges. Compared to other additive processes, extrusion processes are still imprecise but more environmentally friendly. The interest in additive technologies in education is also mentioned. The present bibliography includes various scientific articles and studies on the topic of 3D printing in dentistry. The articles cover various aspects such as the production of sports mouthguards, dental prosthetics, temporaries, and implant guide templates using 3D printing technology. Various materials and processes are examined, including polyamides, polyphenylsulfone, polylactic acid, and lithium disilicate. The articles provide information on the accuracy, mechanical properties, and aesthetic quality of the printed products. The authors conclude that 3D printing in dentistry offers promising opportunities to develop more efficient and precise solutions. [Extracted from the article]
