New Technology In Dentures Can Prevent Infections And Save Manufacturing Time


New Technology In Dentures Can Prevent Infections And Save Manufacturing Time    




It Uses 3D Printing And Microcapsules Filled With Antifungal Drugs    




Frequent fungal infections are common in dentures, which cause swelling, inflammation, and redness. These are disinfected with antiseptics, baking soda, and even microwaves, but in these cases, the user must remove the dentures to clean them. A new approach includes the antifungal drugs inside 3D printed dentures, which prevents fungal infections while dentures are in use. The dentures have microscopic capsules filled with antifungal medication, which is released when the microspheres degrade. Also, using 3D printing saves cost and time, compared to manufacturing conventional dentures, which takes days or weeks. More Information click here.
