Benefits of Three-Dimensional Printing in Periodontal Therapy

Abstract

Periodontal disease is one of the most common dental and oral diseases suffered by people in the world, especially in Indonesia. The prevalence of this disease increases from year to year. The most important thing to prevent further destruction due to this disease is a correct and accurate diagnosis and treatment plan, one of which is using 3D (three-dimensional) printing in periodontal treatment. Three-dimensional printing is a process of building 3D objects by adding additional approaches. Using 3D printing, periodontal care procedures such as creating study models, scaffolds, preservation sockets, bone augmentation, and implant implantation can be completed.
