Workflow of digitally guided direct composite resin restorations using open source software and 3D printing: a clinical technique

Abstract

Objective: To describe how to perform, in a simple manner, a to parafunction, and restored with direct composite resin res digital wax-up with open source software for a clinical applica torations. Conclusions: Thanks to the technology that was used tion involving direct composite resin restorations. Report: The in this case, fast, affordable and accurate results could be ob clinical technique described presents a simple and highly pre tained. In addition, digital files can be stored, saving material, dictable way of performing direct restorations with the help of time, and space, and allowing identical replication of the work a digital wax-up made with open source software. It uses an either virtually or printed at any time, if needed.
