AbstractThree-dimensional (3D) printing is an additive manufacturing method in which by laying down successive
layers of material a 3D item is formed. Charles Hull created the 3D printer which used the technique of
stereolithography, as well as the first program for virtualization.Various types of polymers,gels , resins and
powders are the materials employed in 3D printing.3D printing techniques includes liquid based, solid based
and powder based using which surgical guides and implant abutment can be fabricated .The accuracy of 3D
printed implants is assessed by global deviation, angular deviation, depth deviation and lateral deviation. Even
though the complications and disadvantages are associated with 3D printing, they can achieve higher precision
and accuracy in implant placement. However, further studies are needed to evaluate their clinical outcome
over time and function..
