The diffusion of digital dentistry is on the rise with the use of three-dimensional printing, and its use could make a significant contribution to the field of dentistry, even though health professionals rarely use 3D technology. The proposed experimental study used three-dimensional (3D) images obtained by downloading them from a free dental image repository to evaluate their reproduction on a printed model. The digital images were measured using the Meshmixer software and the printed teeth were measured using a digital caliper. Five teeth were printed (incisors, canines, premolars, and molar
