Abstract

Objectives: 1.Discuss the 3D printing applications in different specialization of dentistry. 2. Discuss materials properties used for 3D printing applications in dentistry. 3. To explore the future of 3D printing applications in dentistry. Methods: Scientific data bases of Google Scholar, Medline, PubMed and UEM CRAI library were used to attain the scientific articles need which were related to the topic of applications of 3D printer in dentistry. Conclusion: The role of 3D printing in dentistry was still conservative and auxiliary, the development for further involvement in dental treatment would rely on more advanced materials and printing methods that could demonstrate more characteristics and could compete with traditional methods and materials. Following the success of CAD/CAM system and digital oral imaging technique, the benefit of 3D printing applications would be endless, alongside with more education and promotion, the acceptance of the technology would bring more options for clinician because the main goal of the clinician was always to maximize patient’s benefit.
