Nowadays technology plays an essential role in the world of Dentistry, with Endodontics
having a major share in this issue. One of the most interesting and important arising technologies
is the 3D bioprinting. In the previous era, 3D printing played and still plays a crucial role in the
digital dentistry field. This was not exclusive to a single specialty, but rather included almost all
fields of dentistry. In the modern world with such a fast-moving pace, the evolution of the 3D
bioprinting was inevitable where many inquiries have risen regarding the potential uses of this
technique in the field of tissue engineering; a field where dentistry and in particular Endodontics
could benefit a lot.
