Some considerations regarding the use of vat photopolymerisation technique in prosthodontics

Abstract

The article presents some aspects regarding the use of additive technologies that use liquid raw materials in prosthetic dentistry. The modern stages of obtaining 3D dental configuration will also be highlighted. In order to realize the customised dental models, it was used additive methods with photoreactive polymers, and namely SLA (stereolithography) and DLP (Digital Light Processing) methods. The models resulting from these advanced computerised techniques were investigated, drawing conclusions regarding the brought benefits of additive manufacturing methods in restorative dentistry and other medical applications.
