Technological developments in dentistry have increased diagnosis precision, facilitated treatment administration, and shortened chair times, enabling dentists to handle patients more successfully. This article presents in a unified way the evolution and current scenario of various resin 3D printing techniques, and their application in various sectors from education to health care sectors. The article briefly describes the most preferred resin 3D printing techniques used for printing novel and conventional resin materials including ecofriendly and biomaterials, mainly (i) stereolithography, (ii) digital light processing, (iii) continuous digital light processing, and (iv) liquid crystal display. A dentist may now see, precisely measure, gather data, and fabricate prototypes of both soft and hard tissue by using different types of rapid prototyping techniques including filament, resin, and metal based 3D printing. Every technology has unique benefits when it comes to produce a certain kind of product. The most often utilized technologies in dentistry are vat polymerization based techniques. The applications in the dental sector comprise crowns, bridges, occlusal splints, retainers, implants, drill guides, and other oral restorations. In pursuant to these goals, the paper will deliver useful information and make a prominent contribution to the plight of knowledge in the area of additive manufacturing.
