3D printing, or additive manufacturing, has revolutionized modern dentistry by enabling precise, customizable, and rapid fabrication of dental devices and anatomical models. Its applications span prosthodontics, orthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, endodontics, and regenerative dentistry, facilitating the production of crowns, dentures, aligners, surgical guides, and tissue scaffolds with high accuracy. Despite these advancements, challenges such as material limitations, cost constraints, regulatory hurdles, and the need for specialized training continue to restrict its widespread adoption. Looking forward, innovations in biocompatible materials, multi-material printing, and integration with digital dentistry tools, including CAD/CAM systems and artificial intelligence are expected to enhance personalized dental care and expand regenerative and chairside applications. This review comprehensively examines the current clinical applications, limitations, and future perspectives of 3D printing in dentistry, highlighting its transformative potential in improving patient outcomes and shaping the future of dental practice.
