# Printed Dental Implants New Biocompatible Resin Brings Desktop 3D Printing into Dental Offices By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-04-21 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desktop-3d-printing References: [geeky-gadgets](http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/formlabs-introduces-biocompatible-resin-for-desktop-3d-printing-20-04-2016/) & [formlabs](http://formlabs.com/) The process of desktop 3d printing is a fun way to make things, but a new kind of resin is helping to change the technology from passive to professional. The new Dental SG Resin can be used in the 3D printers available from Formlabs to help dentists gain better control over the work they do and the implants they implant. The process of creating implants, molds and more in dental offices is a timely exercise that can sometimes take weeks. The implementation of [desktop 3D printing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bambu-lab-h2d) into the equation mixed with the Dental SG Resin could help revolutionize [restorative dental procedures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-dental-ecosystem). With it, dentists could be able to print what they need in as little as an hour and even practice the procedure on a model before the real thing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Desktop 3D Printing:** Exploring the potential of desktop 3D printing technology to revolutionize dental procedures and implant production. - **Dental SG Resin:** The development of biocompatible Dental SG Resin enabling dentists to improve control and efficiency in dental implant production. - **Time-saving Dental Procedures:** Utilizing 3D printing technology to drastically reduce the time required for restorative dental procedures. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Dental Technology:** Adopting desktop 3D printing technology and Dental SG Resin in dental offices for enhanced implant production and improved patient care. - **Biotechnology:** Developing biocompatible resins, such as Dental SG Resin, tailored for specific medical applications like dental implants. - **Manufacturing:** Integrating 3D printing into dental manufacturing processes to streamline production and reduce lead times. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Desktop Medical 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/einstein-dental.md) - [3D-Printed Bone Implants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellaseno.md) - [3D-Printed Medical Implants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ossiform.md) - [Patented 3D-Printed Bone Implants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/p3d-bone.md) - [Adaptable 3D Printing Resins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinting-resin.md) - [Plastic-Molding Benchtop Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benchtop-injection-molding.md) - [Professional-Grade Resin 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desktop-resin-3d-printer.md) - [3D Medicine Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doserx1.md) - [Tooth Replacement Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tooth-replacement.md)
