Abstract(s)
Zirconia-based materials are widely used in dentistry due to their biocompatibility and
suitable mechanical and tribological behavior. Although commonly processed by subtractive man-
ufacturing (SM), alternative techniques are being explored to reduce material waste, energy con-
sumption and production time. 3D printing has received increasing interest for this purpose. This
systematic review intends to gather information on the state of the art of additive manufacturing
(AM) of zirconia-based materials for dental applications. As far as the authors know, this is the first
time that a comparative analysis of these materials’ properties has been performed. It was performed
following the PRISMA guidelines and using PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases to select
studies that met the defined criteria without restrictions on publication year. Stereolithography (SLA)
and digital light processing (DLP) were the techniques most focused on in the literature and the
ones that led to most promising outcomes. However, other techniques, such as robocasting (RC)
and material jetting (MJ), have also led to good results. In all cases, the main concerns are centered
on dimensional accuracy, resolution, and insufficient mechanical strength of the pieces. Despite
the struggles inherent to the different 3D printing techniques, the commitment to adapt materials,
procedures and workflows to these digital technologies is remarkable. Overall, the research on this
topic can be seen as a disruptive technological progress with a wide range of application possibilities.
