Dubai Health Authority (DHA) announced plans to advance the use of 3D printing in dentistry and healthcare at this weeks Arab Health Congress (AHC) in Dubai. This includes plans for the Dental Services department to make greater use of 3D printing for dentistry by the end of this year.

The Arab Health Congress also saw a number of 3D printing companies showcase new innovations. In order to understand these ambitious plans from DHA, we take a look at current dental 3D printing technology.

Also at AHC a partnership between the Middle East Dental Laboratory and local industrial 3D printing company Sinterix was made. The partnership aims to create 3D printed teeth. The metal 3D printing company showcased a 14 unit framework made in cobalt chrome last week and successfully fitted last weekend

There is strong potential for 3D printing in the dental industry and we’ve seen many different companies approaching the market. North American additive manufacturing company, 3D Systems, have just recently acquired dental company Vertex-Global. The company hope to combine their impressive Figure 4 system with the materials created by Vertex-Global’s subsidiary NextDent.
