A technique of designing a 3-dimensionally printed elastomeric impression mixing tip for reuse: A step toward eco-friendly dentistry.

Single-use plastics in dentistry are significant contributors to biomedical waste. Various plastic tubes and mixing cartridges with different plastic mixing tips are widely used for elastomeric impression materials. To minimize the dental plastic footprint, a technique is described for making reusable plastic mixing tips for elastomeric impression materials.
