Advancements in technology have significantly transformed the field of dentistry, enhancing diagnostic accuracy, streamlining treatment procedures, and reducing chair time. Among these innovations, 3D printing has emerged as a pivotal tool, enabling dentists to visualize and record hard and soft tissues with high precision. Utilizing technologies such as Stereolithography (SLA), Inkjet-based systems, Selective Laser Sintering (SLM), and Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM), 3D printing supports rapid prototyping and the fabrication of customized dental components. SLA and Inkjet-based systems are particularly prevalent in clinical applications. The versatility of 3D printing extends across various treatment modalities, including orthognathic surgeries, implant surgical templates, micro-guided endodontics, digital orthodontics, drilling and cutting guides, crown and bridge fabrication, splint production, and comprehensive pre-operative treatment planning. This integration of 3D printing technology continues to enhance precision, efficiency, and patient outcomes in modern dental practice.
