    Dental printers are a pretty standard way to make these things. There’s a whole regulatory process for testing and certifying the printers and their resins for continued contact with gums/skin/teeth for toxicity, infection, irritation, etc.

    But there are still significant drawbacks to using dead synthetic stuff as a replacement for living tissue.
