Validated dental 3D printing workflows have become increasingly popular in dental practices due to their ability to manufacture precise and accurate dental prostheses in-house. This abstract will provide an overview of validated dental 3D printing workflows, including their benefits and challenges. The workflow begins with the acquisition of digital data through intraoral scanning or CBCT imaging, followed by the design of the dental prosthesis using computer-aided design (CAD) software. The CAD file is then prepared for 3D printing and sent to the 3D printer, where the dental prosthesis is produced layer by layer using a variety of materials. The main benefits of validated dental 3D printing workflows are the ability to produce custom-fit dental prostheses with high accuracy and a short return on investment. This reduces the need for manual adjustments during the fitting process, which can save time and improve patient satisfaction while and therefore increasing patient turnover. Additionally, 3D printing allows for the production of complex geometries that may be difficult or impossible to produce using traditional manufacturing methods. However, there are also some challenges associated with validated dental 3D printing workflows, including the need for specialized equipment and materials, as well as the potential for errors in the digital data acquisition or printing process. To mitigate these challenges, it is important to follow validated protocols and guidelines for dental 3D printing, as well as to have a thorough understanding of the limitations and capabilities of the technology. Overall, validated dental 3D printing workflows offer many benefits for dental prosthetic production and can significantly improve patient outcomes. However, it is important to carefully evaluate the workflow and ensure that all necessary steps are followed to ensure accurate and reliable results. Keywords: validated workflow; 3D printing; dental practice.
