Abstract
3D printing technologies are advanced manufacturing technologies based
on computer-aided design and digital models to create personalized 3D objects
automatically. It is the newest technology and has become a fixture in dental
practices all over the world. 3D printing in dentistry creates dental parts for
use of patients. These parts range from models of teeth to dental aligners to
full sets of dentures also. The 3D printing technologies have the advantages of
manufacturing a single complex geometry. Dental 3D printing makes use of all
types of additive manufacturing technology, including stereolithography (SLA), digital-light
processing (DLP), and selective laser sintering (SLS). It not only makes the
process easier for dental providers but also gives significant benefits to
patients in affordable dental solutions. This article covers the basic history
of 3D printing, its benefits and applications.
