Opinions from five oral specialists on 3D printing in the challenge of customized oral healthcare. What can plasma technology bring?

Abstract

AbstractThe field of “plasma medicine” is expanding. It is based on advances in plasma physics and chemistry; a better knowledge of the species produced, a better control in the creation of gaseous plasmas, enable different plasma processes with potential different clinical applications. In the medical field, progress is being made towards predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and populational medicine. In particular, three‐dimensional printing is useful in the challenge of customized oral healthcare. For example, plasma technology offers many options to optimize the use of custom‐made prothesis, particularly in the area of oral medicine and oral surgery.
