Abstract
3D printing has been heralded as a game changing innovation that will revolutionise manufacturing technology that is used in aerospace, military, art and design is becoming a hot topic in healthcare. With developments with 3D modelling and process such as CBCT computed tomography and intra-oral scanning, as well as a strong tradition of CAD/ CAM use in dental care, the technology will become increasingly relevant. 3D printing uses include screw guides for implants, physical replica for prosthodontics, orthodontics, including surgery and the production of dental, craniomaxilar, including craniomaxillary implants.
