DENTISTS WILL SOON BE ABLE TO 3D PRINT YOU A NEW TOOOTH IN MINUTES







A  group  of  dentists    believe  they  can   3D  print  teeth   using  a  simple  and   cheap  technique   ,only  taking  a  few  minutes    for  it.
"This  means  that   dentist  can  now  print   a  tooth  in   6  minutes,"Explained    Joseph   De Simone,  the  CEO   of   the  3D  printing  company   Carbon 3D   and  a  professor  of   chemistry    at  the   University  of    North  Carolina     at  chapel  hill ,at Ted  conference   in   Vancouver .
The  idea  of   reproducing  a  tooth    on   the  stop  is  nowhere  new.
"It  has  been  around  for  thirty  years,"  explained    Dr  Sharde   Harvey  ,  a  New York  city- based  dentist  ,who   been using  the     method    called   CEREC(Chair-side  Economical   Restoration  of   Esthetic    Ceramics.)since  2005.
However ,   with  this   innovation,things  may  be  different -  a   lot  cheaper,  and  a  lot  faster .It  does  not   use    classical   3  D printing  ,which  involves   printing   one  layer   at a  time,  instead  CEREC    is  more  akin  to   computer - assisted  sculpture  than  printing  It  mills  a  new  tooth   from   a   piece  of   porcelain  ,   based  on   3  D  scanner    and modelling  software.
Now  this  would  be    very  lucrative   to  dentists      and  useful  for  patients .
