This investigation presents a critical analysis of mouthguard production, focusing on the evaluation of conventional vs additive manufacturing methods, the materials involved, and aspects such as their failure and prevention. It also summarizes the current trends, perspectives, and the main limitations. It is shown that some of the shortcomings can be solved by implementing additive manufacturing technologies, which are systematically reviewed in this research. Due to the specific materials used to produce mouthguards, there are certain additive manufacturing technologies that dominate and a wide variety of raw materials. The costs vary depending on the technology.
本调查对护齿器生产进行了批判性分析,重点评估传统制造方法与增材制造方法、所涉及的材料以及它们的失效和预防等方面。它还总结了当前的趋势、观点和主要局限性。结果表明,通过采用增材制造技术可以解决一些缺点,本研究对这些技术进行了系统回顾。由于用于生产护齿器的特定材料,有某些占主导地位的增材制造技术和各种各样的原材料。成本因技术而异。
