Solid free form fabrication techniques such as fused deposition modeling and three-dimensional printing are used to create a dental restoration. Three-dimensional printing comprises inkjet printing a binder into selected areas of sequentially deposited layers of powder. Each layer is created by spreading a thin layer of powder over the surface of a powder bed. Instructions for each layer may be derived directly from a CAD representation of the restoration. The area to be printed is obtained by computing the area of intersection between the desired plane and the CAD representation of the object. All the layers required for an aesthetically sound restoration can be deposited concurrently slice after slice and sintered/cured simultaneously. The amount of green body oversize is equivalent to the amount of shrinkage which occurs during sintering or curing. While the layers become hardened or at least partially hardened as each of the layers is laid down, once the desired final shaped configuration is achieved and the layering process is complete, in some applications it may be desirable that the form and its contents be heated or cured at a suitably selected temperature to further promote binding of the powder particles.

What is claimed is: 1. A dental restoration wherein the entire restoration is formed by the method comprising: forming a reticulated structure of the entire restoration by a solid free form fabrication method from a composite material; and infiltrating the reticulated structure of the entire restor
What is claimed is: 1. A dental restoration wherein the entire restoration is formed by the method comprising: forming a reticulated structure of the entire restoration by a solid free form fabrication method from a composite material; and infiltrating the reticulated structure of the entire restoration with a biomimetic substance selected from the group consisting of cell cultures, peptides and mixtures thereof. 2. The dental restoration of claim 1 wherein the solid free form fabrication method is selected from the group consisting of three dimensional printing, ballistic particle manufacturing, fusion deposition modeling, selective laser sintering, and stereolithography. 3. The dental restoration of claim 1 wherein the composite material is selected from the group consisting of particulate filled polymeric material, fiber filled polymeric material, whisker filled polymeric material and mixtures thereof. 4. The dental restoration of claim 3 wherein the polymeric material is selected from the group consisting of polyamides, polyesters, polyolefins, polyimides, polyacrylates, polyurethanes, vinyl esters, nylon, epoxy-based materials, styrene, styrene acrylonitrile, ABS polymers, polysulfones, polyacetals, polycarbonates, polyphenylene sulfides and mixtures thereof. 5. The dental restoration of claim 3 wherein the composite material is fiber filled polymeric material comprising fibers fabricated from the group consisting of materials selected from glass, carbon, graphite, polyaramid, polyethylene and mixtures thereof. 6. The dental restoration of claim 3 wherein the composite material is particulate filled polymeric material comprising particulate material selected from the group consisting of silica, silicate glass, quartz, barium silicate, strontium silicate, barium borosilicate, strontium borosilicate, borosilicate, lithium silicate, amorphous silica, ammoniated or deammoniated calcium phosphate, alumina, zirconia, tin oxide, titania poly(methacrylate) and mixtures thereof.
