Abstract
Bone regeneration and tooth recovery processes have been gaining much popularity and becoming a feasible process worldwide. This process is also called bone scaffolding and grafting where grafted bones are surgically placed to the section of the bone/tooth for repair. Recently, the 3D printing technology has been a great interest in research on bone and tissue repair with the use of 3D printed parts; however, research in dental repair has seen very little interest. In the U.S., adults have an average number of 3.28 decayed or missing permanent teeth and 13.65 decayed and missing permanent surfaces. Meanwhile, dental costs are a significant barrier to adults aged 20-64 maintaining good oral and dental health. Most healthcare plans will cover all basic dental exams, but typically only pay up to half of the cost of major procedures such as crowns and inlays. This research is focused on creating a means of producing permanent dental repairs using the 3D printing process. The 3D printed parts include biodegradable polymers, hydroxyapatite particles, and mechanical testing parts. It is expected that this process will drastically lower costs compared to the conventional tooth recovery processes by limiting the dental operations and dentist visits.
