3D printing was hailed as a technology that would change the development of dentistry. 3D printing is becoming a subject of great interest in maxillofacial surgery, prosthodontics, endodontics, orthodontics and periodontics. This technology plays an important role in the treatment of dental diseases, and with the development of 3D imaging and modeling technologies such as cone-beam computed tomography and intraoral scanning, as well as a relatively long history of using CAD/CAM technologies in dentistry, it will become increasingly important. The use of 3D printing includes the production of milled guides for dental implants, the production of physical models for orthopedic dentistry, orthodontics and surgery, the production of dental, craniomaxillofacial and orthopedic implants, as well as the fabrication of copings and frameworks for implant and dental restorations. Three-dimensional production has many advantages: improving the quality of treatment, developing personalized medicine and providing high-speed services, which make 3D printing an integral part of the future of dentistry. This article discusses the accuracy of the design when using 3D printing. We also discuss the dependence of the accuracy of models, made by using three-dimensional printing on a number of factors, such as the 3D printing method, the 3D printer settings and the printing program. Keywords: 3D printing, dental model, 3D printer, precision, additive manufacturing.
