Summary: | The development of new products in the scope of health sciences has had an increasingly interdisciplinary aspect, consequence in part, of the creation of diverse applications of engineering for this area of knowledge. Research related to oral health has grown significantly since care with this part of the body is directly linked to the well-being and prevention of several diseases. However, the orthodontic prosthesis has high complexity and multiple variables process in their creative processes. Many of the activities related to the design and production of prosthesis still have characteristics of artisanal work and are loaded with decisions of the dentist surgeon. The proposed approach aims to apply the rapid manufacturing concepts and techniques for the development and production of dental prosthesis, formalizing the process to assure the quality of the product while reducing the prosthesis manufacturing mistakes and time. The proposed approach was validated through two cases: one with a prosthesis in the maxillary and another with the prosthesis in the mandible. Therefore, the proposed approach standardized the design and manufacturing steps, supporting the dentistry with relevant information while improving the prosthesis design and manufacturing process since it uses integrated development environment and reduce mistakes across the whole process. |
