Abstract: Objective: To explore the applicative value of 3D printing technique in immediate prosthetic restoration of anterior maxillary defect. Methods: Three patients with anterior maxillary defect were selected. For the purpose of immediate prosthetic restoration, defect models were reconstructed, and individual prostheses were designed, customized and prefabricated by 3D printing technique. Results: All three patients after immediate prosthetic restoration were satisfied with the restoration of facial features and clear speeches. Conclusion: The results suggest that the immediate prosthetic restoration of anterior maxillary defect by 3D printing technique has clinical applicative values.

Key words: Three-dimensional printing technique, Prostheses, Immediate restoration
