Abstract

This review explores the rapid advancements in additive manufacturing, particularly 3D printing, within dentistry, focusing on bioprinting. It highlights the technology's efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental sustainability while comprehensively analyzing its historical development, classification, and applications. The study compares additive manufacturing with conventional subtractive methods like CNC milling and evaluates the materials used. A thorough literature search across PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Google Scholar was conducted, focusing on recent developments in 3D printing and CAD/CAM technologies in dentistry. The review identifies key applications, including surgical guides and root analog implants in implant dentistry, as well as the production of dental models, denture bases, and metal frameworks. Though prosthodontics is in the early stages of adopting 3D printing, advancements in materials and technologies are paving the way for its broader application. This review provides valuable insights for researchers and developers, emphasizing the potential of additive manufacturing to become a dominant chairside production method.
