3D printing technology can be used in prosthodontics to obtain detailed structures. The technique offers a possible supersession for the most conventional restorations technologies. Contemporary aesthetic restorations encounter difficulties in the consistency between the analysis and design stages and the clinical implementation stage. 3D printing transfers aesthetic designs to customize the finial restoration fabrication, which could be an appropriate optimization to the aformentioned problem. Meanwhile, 3D printing technology can be employed to manufacture target restoration space guide (TRS guide), which is a blueprint for the aesthetic ceramic restorations and presents a general functional and aesthetic situation of patients. The guidance provided by TRS guide ensures precision and minimal invasive operation in aesthetic restorations. These new digital technologies have revolutionized aesthetic rehabilitation. This paper introduces the application of 3D printing in aesthetic oral rehabilitation.
3D打印技术可完成结构复杂物体的打印，在口腔修复领域已有一定应用，未来有望替代大部分传统修复技术。在口腔美学修复中如何保证分析设计阶段初设的轮廓外形与颜色等与患者得到的最终修复体一致，一直是困扰口腔医师和技师的难题。3D打印的蜡型、树脂冠桥等可用于美学修复的美学分析和设计结果的输出预告，一对一地传递并指导最终修复体的设计和制作。3D打印的目标修复体导板（TRSguide）既为美学修复制定了可预览的修复蓝图，让口腔医师和技师能检测患者重建的口腔功能和美学的相关信息；又能指导实施符合牙体保存和活髓保护理念的理想牙预备，做到真正的全程精准与微创。这些新的数字化技术进展使得美学修复焕然一新。本文对3D打印在口腔美学修复中的应用进行介绍。.
