The non-removable temporary structures are used in orthopedic dentistry to provide high-quality treatment. The approaches in prosthetics are conditionally divided into conventional and digital. These approaches imply the use of both common materials for prosthetics and unique options. When the conventional approach is used, the quality of orthopedic dental treatment depends on the manual skill of the provider (dental technician). Unlike the conventional approach, the digital one uses a wide range of libraries with ready-made templates for various options for the dentoalveolar system aesthetic and functional characteristics. This fact allows the attending physician to do without any intermediary for the manufacture of dental prostheses, if the material and technical resources permit. The use of 3D printing in dentistry has only recently begun.  From our point of view, the active use of photopolymer 3D resins can become a promising option in terms of economic and strength characteristics.

Keywords: 3D printing, photopolymers, digital dentistry, temporary prosthetics
