This article provides a comprehensive review of the use of 3D (three-dimensional) technologies in dentistry, their historical development, main types, and practical applications. The study examines 3D scanning (intraoral scanners and CBCT), CAD/CAM systems, and 3D printers used for the fabrication of prostheses, surgical guides for implant placement, orthodontic appliances (such as aligners), reconstructive surgery, and educational purposes. The discussion also includes materials, biocompatibility, advantages, and limitations, as well as the current situation and prospects in Uzbekistan. Based on recent literature and systematic reviews, it is shown that 3D technologies play a crucial role in improving individualization, accuracy, and efficiency in dentistry.
