Drug-filled 3D-printed dentures may curb infections in users
US-based scientists including Indian researcher Praveen Arany have 3D printed dentures that periodically release medication to prevent fungal infections which cause inflammation, redness and swelling in users. Although the strength of the dentures was 35% less than that of conventional ones, the printed teeth never fractured. The major benefit of 3D printing is saving cost and time, said Arany.
