Abstract
This comprehensive review paper encapsulates the transformative impact of 3D printing in biomedical engineering, illuminating key findings and contributions that underscore its significance in revolutionizing healthcare. The advent of patient-specific implants, prosthetics, and orthotics has emerged as a hallmark achievement, optimizing comfort and functionality for individual patients. Surgical precision has been elevated through meticulous planning using anatomically accurate 3D-printed models, substantially reducing risks and complications. Customized drug delivery systems have heralded a new era of personalized medicine, ensuring precise dosing and minimal side effects. Bioprinting technology has unlocked the potential for regenerative medicine, with successful printing of functional tissues and organs, promising breakthroughs in transplantation and tissue repair. In the domains of dentistry and maxillofacial surgery, 3D printing has streamlined procedures, offering custom-made solutions and transforming patients' quality of life. This review underscores the profound impact of 3D printing on healthcare, offering personalized, precise, and effective medical interventions that hold immense promise for improved patient outcomes.
