3D Printing is one of the most revolutionary technologies of the 21th century and it is re-shaping the world. 3D printing is the additive process that builds objects layer by layer to form a three dimensional object. 3D printing, on the other hand, can enable fast, reliable, and repeatable. It takes digital input from 3D data and creates solid, 3D parts. It is used extensively by designers, engineers, architectures for concept development and product design objects. Use of 3D printing in dentistry has created its own significance with an elevated success rate. This paper reviews the types of 3D printing technologies available and their various applications in dentistry and in maxillofacial surgery.
