- Abstract: BACKGROUND:Unique advantages of 3D printing technology have opened up new ideas for the development of stomatology.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the application progress of 3D printing technology in stomatology.METHODS:The relevant articles were searched in CNKI and PubMed by computer.Classification search was performed using"3D printing,oral science"as Chinese search terms.Keyword search was conducted using"three-dimensional printing,stomatology,dentistry,prosthodontics,oral implant,orthodontics,oral and maxillofacial surgery,dental pulp disease,periodontitis"as English search terms.The literature that was not related to the theme of the article was initially excluded after reading.According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,54 articles were finally included for review.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the field of stomatology,the application scope of 3D printing technology is rapidly expanding,gradually replacing the traditional clinical diagnosis and treatment methods.Through the combination of digital technology and advanced material science,3D printing can accurately create 3D models,providing personalized solutions for the treatment of oral diseases,ensuring that doctors can carry out detailed planning and preview before surgery,and improve the safety of surgery.3D printing technology has shown significant advantages in customized denture production,personalized implantation,bracket-free invisible orthodontics,etc.Based on this technology,doctors can implement accurate design and production according to the patient's oral structure and needs,bringing patients a good treatment experience and prognosis.3D printing technology has also shown great potential in minimally invasive endodontic treatment and periodontal tissue regeneration,3D printed scaffolds and implants can provide a suitable environment for stem cells to promote the regeneration and repair of periodontal tissues,but at present,3D printing is still in the development stage of regenerative therapy,and more research and practice are needed to verify the effect and safety of its clinical application.
