An explosion in 3D bioprinting, as well as promising results from a number of studies, has led a leading researcher in the field of dental bioprinting to predict that dental clinicians will be using the technology in just a few years time to restore damage caused by conditions such as gum disease.
Dr Luiz Bertassoni, of the University of Sydney Faculty of Dentistry, said: “In the near future we’ll start to see more and more examples of how 3D printing can be useful restorative dental applications, usually more as templates and in models that can be used for further development in the lab.
“But I would expect that in the next few years, clinicians will start using 3D printing for restorative dental applications and more effectively using more complex examples of dental regeneration using these 3D printed devices as well.”
