Abstract

The development of 3D printing in dentistry has positive impact on the student education and management of dental procedures. Complex surgical and non-surgical endodontic cases are easily planned and treated with the use of 3D-printed guides. 3D printed models help to overcome the challenges faced in endodontics which includes locating root canals, locating osteotomy perforation sites, undesirable root perforation, auto-transplantation, pre-surgical treatment planning, educational modeling in preclinical practices. This review explores the need for 3D printing and the applications of 3D printed objects in teaching and managing endodontic procedures.
