  • Additive Manufacturing

Background:

  • 3D printing is a transformative manufacturing technology with growing applications in surgery.
  • Dentistry, with its history of CAD/CAM, is particularly receptive to 3D printing advancements.
  • Innovations in 3D imaging, like cone beam computed tomography and intraoral scanning, enhance 3D printing's dental utility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review available 3D printing technologies.
  • To explore the diverse applications of 3D printing in dentistry and maxillofacial surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current 3D printing technologies.
  • Analysis of applications in dental and maxillofacial contexts.

Main Results:

  • 3D printing enables production of drill guides for dental implants.
  • Facilitates creation of physical models for prosthodontics, orthodontics, and surgery.
  • Supports manufacturing of dental, craniomaxillofacial, and orthopedic implants, as well as copings and frameworks for restorations.

Conclusions:

  • 3D printing is increasingly vital in dentistry and maxillofacial surgery.
  • The technology's integration is driven by advances in imaging and modeling.
  • Its applications span from surgical guides to complex implantable devices and restorations.
