To review the current metal-based additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, namely powder bed fusion (PBF) technologies, and their current prosthodontic applications. The PBF technologies reviewed are selective laser sintering (SLS), selective laser melting (SLM), and electron beam melting (EBM).
The literature on metal AM technologies was considered, and the AM procedures and their current applications in prosthodontics were collated and described. Published articles about AM metal in dental care were searched (MEDLINE, EMBASE, EBSCO, and Web of Science). All studies related to the description, analysis, and evaluation of prosthodontic applications using metal AM technologies.
AM technologies are reliable for many applications in dentistry, including metal frameworks for removable partial dentures (RPDs), overdentures, tooth- and implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs), and metal frameworks for splinting implant impression abutments. However, further studies are needed in future to evaluate the accuracy, reproducibility, and clinical outcome throughout function of AM technologies.
回顾当前基于金属的增材制造（AM）技术，即粉末床熔融（PBF）技术，及其在口腔修复学中的当前应用。所回顾的PBF技术包括选择性激光烧结（SLS）、选择性激光熔化（SLM）和电子束熔化（EBM）。
考虑了关于金属增材制造技术的文献，并整理和描述了增材制造程序及其在口腔修复学中的当前应用。检索了关于牙科护理中增材制造金属的已发表文章（MEDLINE、EMBASE、EBSCO和科学网）。所有与使用金属增材制造技术描述、分析和评估口腔修复应用相关的研究。
增材制造技术在牙科的许多应用中是可靠的，包括可摘局部义齿（RPD）、覆盖义齿、牙支持和种植体支持的固定义齿（FDP）的金属框架，以及用于夹板式种植体印模基台的金属框架。然而，未来需要进一步研究以评估增材制造技术在整个功能过程中的准确性、可重复性和临床结果。
