Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a cutting-edge technology that is widely used in biomedical fields to construct various commercial products or scaffolds for theoretical research. In this review, 3D printing technologies with different principles are briefly introduced, including selective laser melting (SLM), selective laser sintering (SLS), fused deposition modeling (FDM), stereolithography (SLA), and digital light processing (DLP). In addition, the applications of 3D printing in dentistry, such as dental implantology, prosthodontics, orthodontics, maxillofacial surgery, and dental tissue regeneration, were summarized. Furthermore, the perspective and challenges of 3D printing were also addressed to help the readers obtain a clear map for the development of 3D printing in dentistry.
