Emerging Metal Additive Manufacturing for Individualized Dental Therapies: A Narrative Review.
Review in Dentistry journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Metal additive manufacturing (AM) techniques, particularly laser powder bed fusion, are being increasingly recognized not as brand-new technologies, but as emerging technologies with their recent advancements-such as the development of optimized alloys, seamless digital workflow integration, and applications in patient-specific prostheses. With the rise in patient-specific approaches in dentistry, clinicians are seeking customized devices that precisely match individual anatomical and functional needs. AM offers various advantages, such as the fabrication of complex geometries directly from digital designs, enhanced clinical precision, reduced material waste, and simplified manufacturing workflow, and hence can uniquely address these demands. Recent advancements in AM techniques have led to the development of titanium and cobalt-chromium alloys with improved mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and biological compatibility. These alloys show great potential for clinical applications. Additionally, AM enables precise control over the microstructures and surface topographies of these alloys during fabrication, facilitating their optimized integration with biological tissues. This mini review summarizes recent advancements in metal AM technologies relevant to personalized dentistry, highlights key material developments, discusses current clinical applications, and identifies key challenges such as high cost, materials limitations, and regulatory hurdles, and highlights future opportunities including multi-materials AM, smart implants, and AI-driven optimization for fully integrated, digitally driven personalized dental care.
