Three-dimensional (3D) printing is an additive manufacturing technique that entails depositing many layers of material to make a three-dimensional (3D) object. 3D printers are machines that produce representations of items created with CAD software or scanned with a 3D scanner. Selective laser sintering (SLS), stereolithography, fused deposition modeling, and laminated object creation are just a few of the technologies we can employ to print numerous dental goods. The materials can be used to print individual imprint trays, orthodontic models, gingiva masks, and a variety of prosthetics. Diagnostics, maxillofacial growth evaluation, facial asymmetry, and the fabrication of aligners for children with malalignment are all made possible with 3D printed products in paediatric dentistry.
