Three-Dimensional (3D) Printing in Dentistry: Technologies, Influencing Factors and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to this Special Issue of our online journal, delving into the transformative realm of 3D printing in dentistry. As the guest editor, I am delighted to present a collection of articles exploring cutting-edge technologies, influencing factors, and diverse applications shaping this revolutionary field. From custom prosthetics to intricate dental models, 3D printing has redefined precision and efficiency in oral healthcare. Join us on a journey through the evolving landscape where technology converges with dentistry, unraveling endless possibilities that promise to redefine patient care and propel dental practices into a new era of innovation.

In the ever-evolving dental care landscape, the integration of 3D printing technologies serves as a powerful catalyst, reshaping conventional approaches to diagnosis, treatment, and personalized patient care. This compilation delves into the forefront of dental technology, analyzing influential factors steering its trajectory. From materials science advancements to streamlined workflow processes, we explore the complexities of 3D printing applications, showcasing its revolutionary impact on precision dentistry, personalized prosthetics, and the optimization of clinical practices.

This technology accelerates production, reduces costs, and enables personalized solutions, fundamentally reshaping the dental landscape by amalgamating digital design with tangible outcomes for improved patient care and practitioner convenience.
