Applications of three-dimensional printers in prosthetic dentistry

Abstract: This narrative review aims to provide an overview of recent studies and case reports on three-dimensional (3D) printing, verify the applicability 3D printers in field dental prostheses. was performed by conducting a search PubMed. The clinical application fabricating prosthesis made with cobalt-chromium is considered possible depending material hardware printer. However, it currently difficult assess use 3D-printed zirconia crowns. Further research required, such as verification materials used, margin morphology, hardware. Clinically acceptable results have been reported for patterns using printers. Interim restorations printer good that are clinically usable. Dentures need further terms strength deformation. Custom trays useful, however, issues remain design time effort. Although several usefulness printers, required since still new technology.
