3D printing is a modern technology with various applications in prosthetic dentistry that has developed rapidly during last years as it saves time, manpower and guarantees perfect marginal fit of the fabricated constructions. An advantage of the additive technologiesconcerning prosthetic dentistry, is the possibility to print objects from various materials: polymers, composites, metals and alloys with a dense structure and redetermined surface roughness .They allow the manufacturing of complicated geometrical shapes without the need of special adjusting of the CAM unit as well as the use of different materials in different parts of the same object after controlled conduction.
