Abstract

Three-dimensional printing is an advanced additive manufacturing technology based on computer-aided design (CAD) digital models that has gained widespread acceptance in dentistry. It is highly efficient, reproducible, and provides fast and accurate results in an affordable manner, compared to conventional (lost-wax technique) and subtractive computer numeric controlled methods.

Nowadays, 3D printing is experiencing rapid development. It is often described as the key technology of the next industrial revolution. The aim of this work is to explain its principle and to provide an up-to-date overview of the current materials, diverse techniques as well as its application in dental fixed prosthodontics.

Keywords: 3D-Printing; Prosthodontics; Shadows
