In this exciting second episode of The Technology Evangelist Podcast, sponsored by Medidenta Digital Solutions, Dr. John Flucke sits down with Ayush Bagla, CEO of Ackuretta, a leading innovator in 3D printing for dentistry. Together, they dive into the transformative world of 3D printing, exploring its evolution, current applications, and future potential in digital dentistry.

Ayush shares his fascinating journey, starting with 3D printing gold jewelry 15 years ago and transitioning into the dental industry due to similarities in precision and small-scale production. He explains how Ackuretta has grown since its founding in 2013, moving from jewelry to dental applications like models, surgical guides, and biocompatible restorations. The conversation highlights the role of AI in streamlining design processes, making 3D printing more accessible for clinicians and labs by reducing the skill barrier.

Key topics include the impact of material advancements, such as biocompatible resins for crowns, splints, and flexible partials, and the challenges of post-curing for accuracy. Ayush also discusses the future of dental labs, predicting a shift where labs offer design services to complement in-office printing, and the exciting potential for new applications that go beyond traditional restorations. From organic shapes to rapid production, 3D printing is poised to revolutionize workflows while maintaining the human touch for aesthetics and creativity.

Join Dr. Flucke and Ayush Bagla as they unpack how 3D printing is shaping the future of digital dentistry, offering practical insights for clinicians and labs looking to embrace this technology.
