Abstract

The world is turning into a global digital platform with rapid technological advancements taking place with the blink of an eye. This introductory chapter gives a broad overview of one such technological revolution in oral health science, i.e., three-dimensional (3D) printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM). In this chapter, a brief introduction of 3D printing and its application in oral health science has been discussed.
