Background/Objectives: Bioceramic scaffolds with complex geometries and customized mechanical and biological properties can now be produced via 3D printing, revolutionizing dental and maxillofacial tissue engineering. This review discusses the recent progress in 3D printing technologies applied to bioceramic scaffolds for dental and maxillofacial reconstruction. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across major electronic databases, including Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science. Peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2026 were considered for inclusion. Several 3D printing methods can be used to create bioceramic or composite scaffolds for the regeneration of dental, oral, or maxillofacial tissues. Results: Additive manufacturing enables customization of bioceramic scaffolds. This report emphasizes the osteoconductive properties, biodegradability, and compatibility of calcium phosphate, bioactive glass, and calcium silicate ceramics. Conclusions: This review helps to determine how 3D-printed bioceramics can be optimized for dental and maxillofacial applications tailored to specific patients.
