Abstract
Background: Significant advancements have been observed in the additive manufacturing (AM) technology industry in recent decades. Due to the inherent variations among each AM manufacturing technique, new areas of investigation continually arise and require consideration. Additionally, the novel applications of additive manufacturing present new difficulties and possibilities for targeted focus. The aim of this manuscript is to conduct a comprehensive literature review that describes the various processing methods, precision levels, types of materials utilized, and potential applications of 3D printing technology in the field of dentistry. Data: An online search was conducted on databases including Research Gate, Google Scholar, and PubMed to identify potential applications of AM technologies in the dental industry. The most relevant studies on the subject were selected, including English-language articles published between 2006 and 2022. Conclusion: It is feasible to incorporate a variety of AM techniques in dentistry, which has led to improved workflow and acceptable clinical results. Moreover, the different technologies of 3D printing have a broad array of potential applications, enabling the development of novel and optimized techniques to produce dental products.
