ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF MAKING CROWNS OF LONG-TERM WEAR BY 3D PRINTING

The active introduction of innovative technologies, namely 3D printing in dentistry, is of great interest from dentists of various specialties. The article is devoted to the possibility of using a 3D printer for the manufacture of long-wearing crowns. The application of new technologies in dentistry is considered using the example of 3D printing. Possibilities of this technology and the specifics of working with it. Objective: to evaluate the possibilities of clinical application of long-term wearing crowns made by 3D printing. Methodology. Based on the literature review, and the use of scientific search bibliographic databases: PubMed, eLibrary, Medline, Google Academy, the availability and prevalence of 3D printing technology in dentistry was determined, and in particular its application for printing longterm crowns. Clinical production of long-term crowns was carried out. Conclusions. The emergence of innovative technologies in dentistry, in particular 3D printing and new materials, is currently attracting active interest from the dental community. 3D modeling and printing every day more and more confidently enter our daily life. Л thorough study of this method is undoubtedly promising, but it requires deep immersion in the problem, clinical and laboratory observations of structures made of materials certified for long-term wear.
