Inmates in Texas prisons will soon have a new way to get prosthetic teeth👍: through a dedicated denture clinic that uses 3D-printing😃 technology to produce dentures. The new plan will be implemented by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in spring 2019, hopefully speeding up production and helping more inmates get the prostheses they need👏.
Some prisoners have since received their dentures — ones created using 3D-printed technology rather than traditional molded alternatives. With this tech, technicians scan the patient’s mouth using a wand, then send the images to a facility that creates custom pairs of dentures using 3D-printers. The entire process takes weeks instead of months.🥳
