Abstract

Objective: Discuss the digital flow in dentistry with a focus on 3D printing systems, types of materials used and their applicability in the dental clinic. Bibliographic review: According to the literature, the digital workflow in Dentistry through computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) occurs in a segmented way and its applicability is present in all areas of Dentistry. The main printers used are: Stereolithography (SLA), Digital Light Processing (DLP), Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). The properties of parts produced through 3D printing have been shown to be similar or superior to those produced conventionally. DLP and SLA printers are more present in the clinical routine, the type of material predominantly used are polymers and their main applications are: temporary crowns, working models, surgical guides, aligners and myorelaxing plates. Final considerations: The workflow with the application of 3D printing has several advantages for the dental clinic, improving communication with the patient, reducing the number of clinical sessions, predicting the case and improving the technique.
