Digital All-on-x overcomes all these hurdles. It allows for a quicker fabrication process; the workflow creates a more accurate output and, hence, a better-fitting end product; and it’s also easier for newer technicians to learn.

Dentists would rarely have to grind or burr out pieces of a printed temp. A temp comes out of the printer nozzle exactly as the patient needs it.
Furthermore, the technology to quickly create crowns already exists. There’s no question with regard to the speed and efficiency of creating the temps.
The digital workflow that comes with 3D printing deprogrammers eliminates the need for a stone model to be created. It also doesn’t require the patient to be present chairside for the deprogrammer to be tested.
The result is a tailor-made nightguard, ready for immediate patient use. This process represents a leap forward in efficiency, accuracy, and patient satisfaction in dental care.
A prep guide is crucial to the tooth preparation process. Getting the prep guide done right means getting the tooth restoration done right. Having a prep guide 3D-printed will allow dentists to make them accurately and quickly.
Recent innovations in dental technology have allowed for metals like titanium and cobalt-chromium to be 3D printed or milled. However, these precious materials cost a lot and have hefty processing costs. So, we suggest 3D printing a castable RPD frame first made of acrylic or plaster that dentists could use during try-ins.
