Scoping review maps clinical outcomes for CAD/CAM and 3D-printed restorations, indicating diverse performance metrics.

This review aims to outline and assess the clinical outcomes associated with CAD/CAM and 3D-printed restorations in dentistry.
A scoping review was conducted following the Arksey and O'Malley framework and PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
A comprehensive search through multiple databases from January 2000 to June 2025 identified relevant studies.
Data were thematically analyzed based on restoration type, fabrication method, and reported outcomes.
Inlays displayed acceptable adaptation, with 3D printing matching CAD/CAM milling accuracy; ceramics had superior hardness.
Onlays showed mixed results, with pressable ceramics exhibiting higher strength while 3D-printed options had better adaptation.
Veneers favored 3D printing, particularly zirconia and lithium disilicate, while CAD/CAM techniques proved faster and more established.

Basheer et al. (2026) studied this question.
