Expert consensus for selective laser melting metal prostheses

Abstract

Having been widely reviewed and revised, a recommended clinical expert consensus based on the results of experimental and clinical studies for selective laser melting (SLM) metal prostheses was released by the Society of Maxillofacial Prosthetics, Chinese Stomatological Association. This expert consensus formulates the standardized operation procedures for SLM metal restoration and is aimed at standardizing the clinical application of SLM metal restoration and improving the quality and long-term success rate of SLM metal prostheses. At the same time, this expert consensus will help to widely promote the clinical usage of this technique.
