[Manufacturing of zirconia restorations by means of additive fabrication. Part 2]

Additive fabrication (AF) or layer-by-layer synthesis technologies is one of the most dynamically developing areas of digital production. Modern additive technologies can be used to fabricate zirconia-based restorations. The second part of this article will present the fabrication of zirconia restorations using additive technologies such as selective laser sintering (SLS), selective laser melting (SLM), binder jetting (BJ), robocasting (fusion deposition modeling, FDM), as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the mentioned technologies. The analysis of the presented works indicates the need for further research aimed at optimizing 3D printing of zirconia restorations.
