3D printing is used in many fields and industries. It has become important also in healthcare. Many medical disciplines benefit from this unique technology. In this blog we will briefly look at its usage in preoperative organ and tissue model printing.
Dentists and dental students use 3D teeth replicas created by Slovak doctors. “It should be kept in mind, that unless it is a groundbreaking idea with huge funding, the project won’t be profitable at first.”
It is our first-year anniversary since the idea of associating dentists with genuine interest in the field and the ambition to progress in it has fallen on fertile ground. There are two young dentists behind this idea and its realization, MDDr. Júlia Bondor and MDDr. Maroš Čižmár.
He saw himself in IT, but he soon discovered that just sitting behind a computer would not be enough. So he became a dentist, but his interest in technology was very strong. Couple years later, he entered the world of 3D printing and decided to create a replica of a tooth on which dentists can practice "cleaning canals". Today, he successfully sells the models in Central Europe through his startup BioVoxel Technologies, and plans in the future to bring more training models as well as aids to clinical practice in healthcare and education.
