Major health breakthrough

3D printed teeth

Indian scientists have developed a new technique in 3D printing and dental restoration that is a step forward in dentistry.

Known as Photoinduced Radical Polymerisation (PRP), this light activated chemical process is a sustainable and cost effective alternative that holds great promise in 3D printing and dental fillings.

The Photoinduced Radical Polymerisation process is a new method combining two advanced techniques to create stronger, longer-lasting materials.

Older methods for dental fillings often used chemicals called aromatic amines, which could produce toxic by-products and cause tooth discolouration over time.
