Abstract: In recent years, with the development of digital technology and engineering technology, 3D printing is successfully used to print a variety of personalized stents. For example, 3D print model and stent have been successfully used in the oral clinical work, and the restoration and implant are also popularized. The bone grafts printed with biocompatible materials also play an important role in oral surgery. In addition, 3D bioprinting with active ingredients, including cells, matrix, and growth factor, has shown remarkable development potential in tissue engineering and regeneration. This chapter covers 3D printing techniques and all recent research endeavors aiming to bring this novel therapeutic strategy to everyday clinical practice.
