Three-Dimensional Printing in Prosthodontics, Restorative, and Surgical Dentistry

In dentistry, several types of 3D resin printers are commonly used, each with its advantages and applications. 3D printing traces back to the 1980s. Each type of 3D resin printer has its strengths and limitations, and the choice of printer depends on factors such as desired resolution, printing speed, material compatibility, and budget. In dental practice, a combination of different types of resin printers may be used to meet the diverse needs of patients and clinicians. In summary, 3D-printing is likely to become a mainstay of every dental office with significant applications in prosthodontics, enhancing patient care pathways.
