This course will cover the theoretical and observed value in mass-customization of orthodontic fixed appliances. We will also review the strengths and limitations of 3DP as it relates to manufacturing orthodontic appliances.
Learning Objectives:
After this lecture, attendees will be able to:
Demonstrate a working knowledge of "mass-customization", it's strengths and weaknesses.
Recognize the strengths and limitations of injection molding and 3DP as manufacturing technologies.
Evaluate the current clinical evidence supporting the theories supporting mass-customization.
