Prosthodontics focuses on the design and fitting of dental prostheses. The advent of three-dimensional (3D) printing has revolutionized this field by transitioning from labor-intensive methods to precise, computer-aided techniques. This review assesses the impact of 3D printing on prosthodontics, highlighting technological advancements, applications, clinical outcomes, and future directions. A literature review was conducted on recent advancements in 3D printing technologies and materials, focusing on their precision and customization capabilities in dental prostheses. 3D printing technologies such as fused deposition modelling, stereolithography, selective laser sintering, continuous liquid interface production, digital light processing, and material jetting offer high precision and customization, enhancing the creation of dental implants, crowns, bridges, removable prosthodontics, orthodontic devices, and maxillofacial prosthetics. 3D printing has improved the accuracy, efficiency, and customization of dental prostheses, leading to better patient outcomes. Multimaterial printing technologies like lithography-based ceramic manufacturing enable the integration of various materials in a single print, further advancing the field. Challenges such as material limitations, cost, and technical expertise remain, necessitating ongoing research and development.
口腔修复学专注于牙修复体的设计与安装。三维（3D）打印技术的出现彻底改变了这一领域，使该领域从劳动密集型方法转变为精确的计算机辅助技术。本综述评估了3D打印对口腔修复学的影响，重点介绍了技术进步、应用、临床结果及未来发展方向。针对3D打印技术和材料的最新进展进行了文献综述，重点关注其在牙修复体方面的精度和定制能力。诸如熔融沉积建模、立体光刻、选择性激光烧结、连续液体界面生产、数字光处理和材料喷射等3D打印技术具有高精度和定制性，可提升牙种植体、牙冠、牙桥、可摘义齿、正畸器械及颌面修复体的制作水平。3D打印提高了牙修复体的准确性、效率和定制性，从而为患者带来更好的治疗效果。基于光刻的陶瓷制造等多材料打印技术能够在一次打印中集成多种材料，进一步推动了该领域的发展。然而，材料限制、成本和技术专业知识等挑战依然存在，这需要持续的研究与开发。
