Résumé

To explore the applications of 3D printing for the fabrication of complete dentures, a literature search was conducted using PubMed to identify articles related to the topic of 3D-printed complete dentures. A search was conducted that included the following keywords: digital complete denture workflow, printed complete denture, additive manufacturing complete denture, digital complete denture, CAD/CAM complete denture. Articles published before 2016 were excluded to increase the relevancy of reporting results. Determining how 3D-printed dentures compare to conventional and milled dentures is important to better understand how they can be used clinically. Material strength, color stability, and denture base adaptation are discussed. Currently, the area of greatest innovation is with printing resins and improving physical and esthetic properties. As with every innovation, multiple generations of materials are created before the gold standard is achieved. While the ideal printed denture material does not currently exist, based on the published research, printed dentures have material strength that meets ISO standards, with denture base adaptation similar to conventionally processed dentures. Clinically, it is likely that printed dentures will have more challenges with fractures, color stability, and staining. However, printed dentures offer many benefits, and the current limitations will be addressed as new materials are developed. We are currently at the beginning of what is an exciting future for printed dentures.
