Dr. Melanie Menassa, Director of Prosthodontics in the JGH Department of Dentistry, demonstrates the 3D printer that produced the orange and gray plastic models at the far right. The tray below Dr. Menassa’s left hand contains the coloured liquid that is transformed into a plastic model of a patient’s teeth. In her left hand, she holds a finished plastic model to show its position during the 3D printing process. In the right-hand photo, the model on the left was conventionally made from stone, a highly durable type of plaster. (Click on this or any photo to enlarge it.)
