Abstract: A relatively new direction for development of dental medicine are the additive technologies. According to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) the additive manufacturing is defined as: “The process of joining materials to make objects from 3D model data, usually layer upon layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing methodologies. ”An important characteristic of the additive manufacturing technology is the opportunity for fabrication of details with complex configuration of their surface and core. In addition, it allows simultaneous production of a huge number of details. Thereby the additive manufacturing saves time and allows fabrication of intricate objects. The additive technologies in dental medicine are used for fabrication of dentures, denture prototypes, which should be cast, or models, which are used for further denture manufacturing. One of the most commonly used additive manufacturing method, also in dentistry, is the stereolithography. This technology has been well known for four decades, but there are fundamental issues that still remain unsolved. In addition, the contemporary dental practice tries to the integrate this new approach into the conventional methods for denture fabrication.
