He began working with ADEISS, a company dedicated to medical and dental 3D printing solutions. Using Renishaw 3D printers, ADEISS worked on designing and 3D printing a version of the dental device in dental-grade titanium for testing.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
Tempcap was designed to resolve several issues with current dental abutment systems, in addition to being more affordable and accessible to those with limited finances. In a paper entitled “Implant Provisionals Utilizing a Novel Abutment: Assessing Quality, Efficiency and Stability,” the device was assessed overall as well as compared to titanium and thermoplastic provisional abutments in vitro.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
“Three mandibular and maxillary dentoform casts were fixed onto bone analogues,” the researchers explain in the paper. “Dental implants were then placed into the analogues. Thermoplastic, titanium and Tempcap provisional abutments were utilized and a temporary implant-supported crown was fabricated. The quality of the provisional crown, implant stability quotient (ISQ) pre- and post-temporization, and average provisional time were measured.”

“The Tempcap abutment provides implant dentistry with another accessible option to clinicians and patients, while 3D printing may provide the implant industry with an alternative leaner approach for manufacturing,” said Dr. Kalman.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The dental industry is increasingly turning to 3D printing for the major reasons of affordability and accessibility, as well as the fact that additive manufacturing can produce patient-specific devices quickly and effectively. 3D scanning and 3D printing are easier on patients than traditional methods of fabricating dental and orthodontic devices – not to mention easier on their wallets.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4357″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]Dr. Kalman’s research on the Tempcap was featured at the ICOI World Congress in Las Vegas and will also be presented at the GNYDM (Greater New York Dental Meeting), which is taking place in New York City from November 23rd to 28th.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
