New 3D models will help dentists master complex procedures

Dentists could soon have access to highly realistic 3D advanced manufactured dental models that better prepare them for complex tooth removal procedures, thanks to a new a $800,000 collaborative research project between Australian medical training device company Fusetec, Adelaide University and the Additive Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre (AMCRC).

Advanced manufacturing project to develop realistic dental training models

Adelaide University says a new $800,000 research project will use advanced manufacturing to develop highly realistic 3D dental models designed to help clinicians prepare for complex procedures such as wisdom tooth removal.
