Abstract

The profession of prosthodontics has always been significantly impacted by technical advancements, and 3D printing is no exception. The fabrication process produces complex shapes with ease and is highly precise, time- and labor-efficient. A kind of digital fabrication process called additive manufacturing uses the addition of materials to create actual objects from a geometric model. It begins by introducing the most recent 3D printing methods, such as fused deposition modeling, photopolymerization molding and powder bed fusion. It also provides a number of variables that affect 3D printing metrics, including accuracy and mechanical qualities. This review describes the clinical uses of 3D printing in dentistry, including the creation of working models and main applications in the fields of prosthodontics.
