The dental crown of the future could be 3D-printed while you wait
SMRTR summary
Researchers at UT Dallas have cut the longest step in 3D-printing zirconia dental crowns from up to 100 hours to under 30 minutes, using porous graphite felt and a vacuum system. Backed by a $550,000 NSF grant, the team is commercializing the technology, potentially allowing dentists to provide permanent crowns in a single visit.
