The utilization of 3D printing technologies is extensively pervasive across diverse sectors, including design, engineering, and manufacturing. These sophisticated manufacturing techniques depend on digitally designed models to autonomously construct 3D objects. With the growing interest in 3D printing within dentistry, specifically regarding dental implants, there has been a rapid dissemination of information pertaining to this domain and its applications. As a result, it has become crucial to conduct a comprehensive review on this topic. 3D printing technologies have played a pivotal role in oral implantology. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state and future needs of 3D printing in implant dentistry, covering technologies, printable materials, and applications in both the surgical and prosthodontic stages of dental implant therapy. Furthermore, it discusses considerations for choosing the appropriate 3D printing technology for specific dental applications. This comprehensive examination offers key insights into the progress, practical uses, and future prospects of 3D printing in dental implants.
