Vat Fotopolimerizasyon Baskı Teknolojisinin ve Fotopolimer Rezinlerin İmplant Destekli Sabit Protezlerde Kullanımı

Abstract

Dijital iş akışının diş hekimliğinde giderek yaygınlaşmasıyla birlikte, bilgisayar yardımlı tasarım ve bilgisayar yardımlı üretim tekniklerine üç boyutlu baskı teknolojisi de dahil olmuştur. Günümüzde eksiltmeli üretimin yerini almaya başlayan bu teknoloji, kişiye özgü tasarımlar ve yüksek hassasiyetli çözümler sunarak diş hekimliğindeki tedavi süreçlerini hızlandırmakta ve klinik açıdan tatmin edici sonuçların elde edilmesini sağlamaktadır. Üç boyutlu baskı teknolojisiyle üretilen materyallerin implant destekli sabit protezlerde kullanımı, son yıllarda yeni bir uygulama olarak protetik diş tedavisinde yerini almıştır. İmplant destekli sabit protezlerde model ve kişisel ölçü kaşığı üretiminde kullanılmaya başlanan bu teknoloji, özellikle fotopolimer rezinlerle birlikte vat fotopolimerizasyon yöntemi aracılığıyla geçici ve daimi restorasyon üretiminde de yaygınlaşmaktadır. Bu alanda yapılan çalışmalar sonucunda fotopolimer rezinlerin başarılı performansları, implant destekli sabit protezlerde kullanımlarını daha etkin bir hale getirmiştir. Yöntemin ve materyallerin yeni olması sebebiyle literatürdeki mevcut eksiklik, ağız ortamının gereksinimlerini tam olarak karşılama konusunda henüz yeterli bilgi sunmamaktadır. Ancak, üç boyutlu ve dört boyutlu baskı teknolojilerindeki sürekli gelişmeler, gelecekteki çalışmalarla bu endişelerin giderileceği yönünde umut vadetmektedir. Bu derleme çalışmasında vat fotopolimerizasyon baskı teknolojisinin ve fotopolimer rezinlerin implant destekli sabit protezlerde kullanımı ile ilgili güncel literatür bilgisinin verilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

The Use of Vat Photopolymerızatıon Printing Technology And Photopolymer Resins in Implant-Supported Fixed Prostheses

Abstract

With the increasing prevalence of digital workflows in dentistry, three-dimensional printing technology has been incorporated into computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing techniques. This technology, which is gradually replacing subtractive manufacturing methods, accelerates treatment processes in dentistry and enables clinically satisfactory outcomes by offering patient-specific designs and high-precision solutions. The use of materials produced with three-dimensional printing technology in implant-supported fixed prostheses has recently emerged as a new application in prosthetic dental treatment. Initially utilized to create models and custom impression trays in implant-supported fixed prostheses, this technology has increasingly been adopted to fabricate temporary and permanent restorations, particularly through the vat photopolymerization method using photopolymer resins. Studies conducted in this field have demonstrated the successful performance of photopolymer resins, thereby enhancing their applicability in implant-supported fixed prostheses. However, due to the novelty of both the method and the materials, current literature provides limited data regarding their ability to fully meet the requirements of the oral environment. Nevertheless, ongoing advancements in three-dimensional and four-dimensional printing technologies offer promising prospects for addressing these concerns in future studies. This review presents current literature on vat photopolymerization printing technology and photopolymer resins in implant-supported fixed prostheses.
