Abstract
In recent years, the use of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) has increased considerably in addition to the traditional methods used in routine. CAD/CAM technology has many advantages. However, despite these advantages, it has a very important disadvantage such as material waste. Today, the technology that overcomes this problem is the additive manufacturing method with three-dimensional printers. This method has recently replaced the traditional subtractive computer-aided design and manufacturing technology in prosthodontics. The use of 3D printers has been increasing in recent years due to its advantages such as ease of production, time saving and material saving, freedom of design, error-free and faster production. It is also predicted that the use of this technology will increase in the future and will be the main method for digital manufacturing. The aim of this review is to evaluate the production methods of 3D printers, the areas of use in prosthodontics, the advantages and disadvantages of 3D production methods, and to review the purposes of use, materials used and developments in prosthodontics.
