Abstract

The Application of 3D Printing Technology (Additive Manufacturing) in the Field of Dental Prosthetics Is Rapidly Expanding. Its high precision, personalization, and efficient production make it an important part of digital dentistry. This article reviews the current research status of 3D printing technology in dental prosthetic materials (such as resins, ceramics, metals, and biocompatible materials), discusses its applications in crowns, fixed bridges, removable partial dentures, implant guides, and maxillofacial prosthetics, and analyzes the challenges faced by current technologies and future development directions to provide references for clinical and research purposes.
