The advent of 3D printing technology is revolutionizing the field of prosthodontics, particularly in the fabrication of dentures. This review aims to explore the impact of 3D printing on traditional denture-making processes, emphasizing efficiency, precision, patient-specific customization, and overall treatment outcomes. Traditional denture fabrication, characterized by labor-intensive procedures and extended chairside time, faces significant disruption through additive manufacturing techniques. Through a comprehensive literature review, this article highlights advancements in digital scanning, computer-aided design (CAD), and 3D printing materials suitable for prosthodontic applications. Furthermore, it addresses the advantages of enhanced accuracy, reduced costs, and streamlined workflows offered by 3D printing over conventional methods.This article concludes by projecting future trends and innovations in 3D printing for prosthodontics, including bioprinting and the integration of artificial intelligence to improve patient-specific denture solutions. The findings suggest that 3D printing holds the potential to redefine prosthodontic practice, enhancing both clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.
