Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the color stability of 3D-printed and milled, interim, and definitive, restorative materials after immersion in artificial saliva and wine for 1, 3, and 6 months. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study used a 2 × 5 factorial design with 10 subgroups, including 2 immersion liquids (artificial saliva and wine) and 5 manufacturing technology and restorative material combinations (n = 10). Color measurements were taken using a contact-type digital spectrophotometer (CM-2600d Spectrophotometer; Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas Inc) before immersion and at 1 month (T1), 3 months (T3), and 6 months (T6) after immersion. The CIE2000 system was used to calculate quantitative measurements of color differences in ΔE00, and comparisons were made to the acceptability threshold (AT) and perceptibility threshold (PT). Repeated measures of ANOVA (α = 0.05) were used to compare differences in color changes between manufacturing technology/restorative material-immersion liquid combinations at T1, T3, and T6. RESULTS To compare the effect of immersion liquid and time on the manufacturing technology/restorative material groups, the ΔE00 values were compared to the PT of 0.8 and the AT of 1.8. Wine caused significant color changes in ΔE00 values beyond the PT and AT values in all groups at all time intervals, except for the AT value of milled definitive crowns (hybrid nano-ceramic material). Wine immersion caused significant ΔE00 for all manufacturing technology/restorative material groups at all time intervals (1 month, 3 months, and 6 months) when compared to artificial saliva immersion (all p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Upon exposure to artificial saliva, 80%-100% of samples from all groups remained within the acceptable and perceptible color change thresholds. The wine had significant chromogenic effects on all tested restorative materials, however, the milled definitive crowns (hybrid nano-ceramic material) showed the greatest color stability. For patients with heavy wine consumption, 3D-printed definitive crowns (hybrid ceramic-filled material) may show discoloration exceeding acceptable and perceptible color change limits.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to determine the surface glazing effect on the mechanical and biological properties of three-dimensional printed dental permanent resins.Methods Specimens were prepared using Formlabs, Graphy Tera Harz permanent, and NextDent C&B temporary crown resins. Specimens were divided into three groups: samples with untreated surfaces, glazed surfaces, and sand-glazed surfaces. The flexural strength, Vickers hardness, color stability, and surface roughness of the samples were analyzed to identify their mechanical properties. Their cell viability and protein adsorption were analyzed to identify their biological properties.Results The flexural strength and Vickers hardness of the samples with sand glazed and glazed surfaces were significantly increased. The color change was higher for surface untreated samples than that for the samples with sand-glazed and glazed surfaces. The surface roughness of the samples with sand-glazed and glazed surfaces was low. The samples with sand-glazed and glazed surfaces have low protein adsorption ability and high cell viability.Conclusions Surface glazing increased the mechanical strength, color stability, and cell compatibility, while reducing the Ra and protein adsorption of 3D-printed dental resins. Thus, a glazed surface exhibited a positive effect on the mechanical and biological properties of 3D-printed resins.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different 3D dental resins, using a manufacturer recommended printer and a third-party printer, on cellular responses of human gingival cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three NextDent resins (Denture 3D+, C&B MFH and Crowntec) were used to produce specimens on printers NextDent 5100 (groups ND, NC and NT, respectively) and Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K (groups PD, PC and PT, respectively). Human gingival fibroblasts were cultured and biocompatibility was evaluated on days 1, 3 and 7. IL-6 and IL-8 concentrations were evaluated at 3 days using ELISA. Surface roughness was evaluated by a contact profilometer. SEM and fluorescence micrographs were analyzed at days 1 and 7. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS and mean differences were tested using ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey tests (P < .05). RESULTS There was an increase in cellular viability after 7 days in groups PC and PT, when compared to group PD. ND group resulted in higher concentration of IL-6 when compared to PT group. SEM and fluorescence micrographs showed less adhesion and thinner morphology of fibroblasts from group PD. No significant differences were found regarding surface roughness. CONCLUSION The use of different printers or resins did not seem to influence surface roughness. NextDent 5100 and Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K produced resins with similar cellular responses in human gingival fibroblasts. However, Denture 3D+ resin resulted in significantly lower biocompatibility, when compared to C&B MFH and Crowntec resins. Further testing is required to support its long-term use, required for complete dentures.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the wear resistance of primary tooth enamel and 3 kinds of 3D printing materials and to compare the marginal fitness and internal suitability of prefabricated all-ceramic crowns, computer-aided design/manufacturing (CAD/CAM) all-ceramic crowns, and three 3D-printed deciduous molar crowns. Multifunctional friction wear testing machine was used to image the wear surface of the sample and calculate the maximum wear depth and volume loss value of each sample. The internal fit evaluation used the silicon replica method, The four points were measured using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The obtained data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey HSD-test with a fully randomized design (p<0.05). The results showed the wear resistance of E-Dent400 was better than that of PEEK and three different 3D printed materials have good wear resistance compared with the primary tooth enamel. The measured values at M1 and M4 of E-Dent400 were both the smallest.

Comparison of surface roughness of additively manufactured implant-supported interim crowns fabricated with different print orientations. J Prosthodont 2024; 33:141-148. [PMID: 36634341 DOI: 10.1111/jopr.13645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 12/10/2022] [Accepted: 01/01/2023] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the influence of print orientation on the surface roughness of implant-supported interim crowns manufactured by using digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS An implant-supported maxillary right premolar full-contour crown was obtained. The interim restoration design was used to fabricate 30 specimens with 3 print orientations (0, 45, and 90 degrees) using an interim resin material (GC Temp PRINT) and a DLP printer (Asiga MAX UV) (n = 10). The specimens were manufactured, and each was cemented to an implant abutment with autopolymerizing composite resin cement (Multilink Hybrid Abutment). Surface roughness was assessed on the buccal surface of the premolar specimen by using an optical measurement system (InfiniteFocusG5 plus). The data were analyzed with a Shapiro-Wilk test, resulting in a normal distribution. One-way ANOVA and the Tukey HSD tests were selected (α = 0.05). RESULTS Statistically significant discrepancies were found in the surface roughness mean values among the groups tested (p < 0.001). The lowest mean ± standard deviation surface roughness was found with the 90-degree group (1.2 ± 0.36 μm), followed by the 0-degree orientation (2.23 ± 0.18 μm) and the 45-degree group (3.18 ± 0.31 μm). CONCLUSIONS Print orientation parameter significantly impacted the surface roughness of the implant-supported interim crowns manufactured by using the additive procedures tested.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This review investigated the current literature pertaining to the repairability of computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) milled and three-dimensional (3D) printed resin-based dental prostheses (RBDPs) as well as the appropriate surface treatment for each repair material that will produce adequate repair bond strength. DATA/SOURCES PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were searched for published articles involving repair of CAD-CAM RBDPs between January 2010 and June 2023. Data were collected and analyzed to reveal the surface treatment effects, suggested repair materials, and strength of repaired RBDPs. STUDY SELECTION Out of 164 retrieved titles, 11 studies were included, of which five investigated the repair of 3D-printed RBDPs, three investigated the repair of CAD-CAM milled resins, and three investigated both materials. Additionally, of the included studies, seven investigated denture base resins, three studied provisional restoration resins, and one evaluated 3D-printed intraoral splints. Various surface treatments were suggested, with air-abrasive methods being the most commonly used. Different materials for resin repair were proposed and used, including auto-polymerized, reline, and composite resins. For 3D-printed resins, repair with Bis-acrylic/Bis-GMA composites improved repair strength. CONCLUSION Surface treatments positively affected the repair strength of conventional and milled RBDPs. However, challenges remain relevant to the repair of 3D-printed resins owing to composition mismatches and fabrication techniques. Therefore, further investigation is required to develop new 3D-printed resins. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE CAD-CAM milled resins have satisfactory repair strength, which increases with surface treatment. The repair of 3D-printed resins has proven challenging even with surface treatments. However, composite resins are the materials of choice.

Abstract
Purpose Additive manufacturing has revolutionized the fabrication of complete dentures. However, this process involves support structure, which is a construction part that holds the specimen during printing, and may prove to be disadvantageous. Therefore, this in vitro study compared the effect of support structure reduction on various volume and area distributions of a 3D-printed denture base to determine optimal parameters based on accuracy.Methods A complete maxillary denture base construction file was used as reference. Twenty denture bases were 3D printed under four conditions (total n=80): no support structure reduction (control), palatal support structure reduction (Condition P), border support structure reduction (Condition B), and palatal and border support structure reduction (Condition PB). Printing time and resin consumption were also recorded. The intaglio surface trueness and precision of all acquired data were exported to a 3D analysis software, and the dimensional changes to the denture base were analyzed using the root-mean-square estimate (RMSE) to assess geometric accuracy and generate color map patterns. Nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis and Steel-Dwass tests (α=0.05) analyzed the accumulated data.Results Control had the lowest RMSE values for trueness and precision. Nevertheless, it demonstrated a significantly lower RMSE than that of Condition B (P=0.02) in precision. Owing to negative deviation at the palatal region, Conditions P and PB had higher retention than Control and Condition B regarding the color map pattern.Conclusions Within the limitations of this study, the reduction of palatal and border support structures showed optimal accuracy with resource and cost savings.

BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:73. [PMID: 38212816 PMCID: PMC10785357 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-03851-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 01/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of 3D printing technology and build angle on the marginal fit of printed crowns is unclear. The objective of this research was to use digital light processing (DLP) and stereo-lithography (SLA)-based 3D printing to construct single restorations with varied build angles and to analyze the crowns' marginal fit. METHODS A prepared resin first molar was scanned utilizing an optical scanner. Three build orientations were used to construct the specimens: 0, 45, and 90º. DLP and SLA technology were used to produce the casting patterns. A digital microscope was used to measure the marginal gaps. The effect of build orientation was statistically analyzed by using Two-way ANOVA followed by pair-wise Tukey test. RESULTS Two-way ANOVA revealed a significant effect of printer technology and build angle on the marginal discrepancy of 3D printed crowns (p < 0.001). One-way ANOVA revealed that SLA printers (55.6 [± 13.59]) showed significantly better mean [± SD] marginal discrepancy in µm than DLP printers (72 [± 13.67]) (p < 0.001). Regarding build angle, one-way ANOVA revealed significant differences between the different angles. Tukeys post-hoc test revealed that 0° (48.5 [± 9.04]) had the significantly smallest marginal discrepancy followed by 45° (62.5 [± 8.05]) then 90° (80.5 [± 8.99]) (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The build orientation affects the marginal discrepancy of single crowns manufactured utilizing DLP and SLA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study is to evaluate the color stability, surface roughness, and hardness of additively manufactured and hand-cast splint materials after a 6-month commercially available denture cleaning tablet immersion simulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Disc-shaped additively manufactured and hand-cast auto polymerizing acrylic resin specimens were prepared (N = 40 each). All specimens were exposed to coffee solution totally 2 days. Thereafter, all specimens were immersed into three different effervescent solutions that simulated 6 months of clinical use. The total color change (ΔE*ab), surface roughness (Ra), and Vickers hardness (Vh) were measured at baseline and after immersion protocols. A two-way ANOVA and Bonferroni's post hoc test were used for color change. The dependent t-test and ANOVA were used for roughness and hardness evaluation. RESULTS Additively manufactured splint materials were more affected by coffee immersion. It was observed that all denture cleaning tablets induced a noticeable alteration in color of the specimens (p < 0.05). Roughness and hardness measurement changes after solution immersions were statistically significant for both splint groups (p < 0.05). On the other hand, distilled water and denture cleaning tablets created similar roughness and hardness measurements at baseline and after immersion. CONCLUSIONS After 6 months use of tested cleaning tables, the color stability, surface roughness, and hardness of both groups were affected. The evaluation of the surface properties of splint materials could be recommended to the dentists in periodic controls during splint treatments. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The use effervescent denture cleaning tablets altered the surface characteristics of tested splint materials over time with nonsignificant difference between each other. After 6 months, awareness should be raised about surface characteristics of splint materials.

Abstract
In this study, a methodology was developed for ranking manufacturing technologies of removable complete dentures (RCDs) according to the results of their full-scale mechanical tests. The actuality of the study is motivated by establishing the advantages and drawbacks of 3D-printed RCDs in contrast with ones manufactured via an analog protocol. The RCDs were fabricated via four technological routes that included various combinations of subtractive technologies (hot polymerization/HP and CAD/CAM milling) and additive manufacturing (digital light processing/DLP) ones and the installation of commercially available cosmetic denture teeth (DT). In the mechanical tests, different blocks of teeth (incisors, canines, premolars and molars) were loaded. To solve the ranking problem, it was proposed to interpret the results of the mechanical tests in terms of the reliability, durability and compliance/stiffness criteria. For this purpose, the combined AHP-VIKOR method was applied. In addition, a computer simulation of the mechanical loading conditions and the response of the RCDs was performed based on the finite element method (FEM). As the key conclusion, it was stated that additive manufacturing (AM) methods are competitive and cost-effective techniques for the fabrication of RCDs.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Three-dimensional (3D) printers are a relatively new technology, but the degree of conversion (DC) of the resin specimens produced by using this method is currently unknown. However, the DC of resin interim restorative materials is critical for their biocompatibility and physical properties. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the DC of interim restorative materials produced by using different 3D printer technologies and compare them with conventionally manufactured polymethyl methacrylate. MATERIAL AND METHODS Stereolithography, digital light processing, and liquid crystal display 3D printers were used as experimental groups, and a conventional (C) method was used as the control. Five different 3D printers (DWS Systems, Formlabs [FL], Asiga, Mega, and Vega) were included. The 3D printed specimens were designed in a rectangular prism geometry (10×4×2.5 mm) by using a computer-aided design software program (Materialise 3-matic) and printed with a layer thickness of 50 µm in the horizontal direction (n=15). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectra were measured in 3 steps: the liquid state of the resins, after washing with 99% isopropanol, and after final polymerization. For the C method, FT-IR spectra were assessed in 2 steps: immediately after mixing the liquid and powder and after polymerization. Statistical analysis of the data was performed with 1-way ANOVA followed by the post hoc Tukey honestly significant difference (HSD) test (α=.05). RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference in DC values between the 3D printed groups (P>.05). There was a statistically significant difference only between FL and the C in terms of DC (P=.042). CONCLUSIONS Three-dimensionally printed interim resin materials found comparable results with those of the C group. The DC was not affected by different 3D printing technologies.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing of polymers is gaining momentum in health care industries by providing rapid 3D printing of customizable designs. Yet, little is explored about the cytotoxicity of leachable toxins that the 3D printing process introduced into the final product. We studied three printable materials, which have various mechanical properties and are widely used in stereolithography 3D printing. We evaluated the cytotoxicity of these materials through exposing two fibroblast cell lines (human and mouse derived) to the 3D-printed parts, using overlay indirect contact assays. All the 3D-printed parts were measured toxic to the cells in a leachable manner, with flexible materials more toxic than rigid materials. Furthermore, we attempted to reduce the toxicity of the 3D-printed material by employing three treatment methods (further curing, passivation coating, and Soxhlet solvent extraction). The Soxhlet solvent extraction method was the most effective in removing the leachable toxins, resulting in the eradication of the material's toxicity. Passivation coating and further curing showed moderate and little detoxification, respectively. Additionally, mechanical testing of the materials treated with extraction methods revealed no significant impacts on its mechanical performances. As leachable toxins are broadly present in 3D-printed polymers, our cytotoxicity evaluation and reduction methods could aid in extending the selections of biocompatible materials and pave the way for the translational use of 3D printing.

Abstract
(1) Purpose: The aim of the present study was to compare the bond strength between two 3D-printed resins designed for long-term provisional crowns and three different reline materials. (2) Materials and Methods: Rectangular specimens were prepared from two 3D-printed resins (Envision Tech and NextDent C&B) and a conventional self-cure PMMA. Transparent tubes filled with three different reline materials including composite resin, Bis-acryl, and PMMA were bonded to the 3D-printed specimens (n = 11 per group, total of 6 study groups). Tubes filled with PMMA were bonded to the prepared PMMA specimens which served as the control group (n = 11, control group). The specimens were subjected to a shear bond strength (SBS) test, and mode of failure was recorded using light microscopy. Statistical analysis was performed using a one-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey's tests (alpha = 0.05). (3) Results: The highest SBS value was achieved to both 3D-printed materials with the PMMA reline material. The bond to both 3D-printed materials was lower with Bis-acrylic or composite resin relines in comparison to that with PMMA (p-value < 0.05). No significant difference was found between the control PMMA group and either 3D-printed material when relined with PMMA (p-value > 0.05). (4) Conclusion: The tested 3D-printed resins achieved a clinically acceptable bond strength when relined with PMMA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro fatigue and fracture force of temporary implant-supported anterior crowns made of different materials with different abutment total occlusal convergence (TOC), with/without a screw channel, and with different types of fabrication. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred ninety-two implant-supported crowns were manufactured (4° or 8° TOC; with/without screw channel) form 6 materials (n = 8; 2 × additive, 3 × subtractive, 1 × automix; reference). Crowns were temporarily cemented, screw channels were closed (polytetrafluoroethylene, resin composite), and crowns were stored in water (37 °C; 10 days) before thermal cycling and mechanical loading (TCML). Fracture force was determined. STATISTICS Kolmogorov-Smirnov, ANOVA; Bonferroni; Kaplan-Meier; log-rank; α = 0.05. RESULTS Failure during TCML varied between 0 failures and total failure. Mean survival was between 1.8 × 105 and 4.8 × 105 cycles. The highest impact on survival presented the material (η2 = 0.072, p < .001). Fracture forces varied between 265.7 and 628.6 N. The highest impact on force was found for the material (η2 = 0.084, p < .001). CONCLUSION Additively and subtractively manufactured crowns provided similar or higher survival rates and fracture forces compared to automix crowns. The choice of material is decisive for the survival and fracture force. The fabrication is not crucial. A smaller TOC led to higher fracture force. Manually inserted screw channels had negative effects on fatigue testing. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The highest stability has been shown for crowns with a low TOC, which are manufactured additively and subtractively. In automix-fabricated crowns, manually inserted screw channels have negative effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This in vitro comparative study aimed to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of four 3D-printed resins with two different thickness layers. METHODS Four printed resins (VarseoSmile Crown Plus, VSC; NexDent C&B MFH, MFH; Nanolab 3D, NNL; and Resilab 3D Temp, RSL) were printed with 50 µm and 100 µm layer thickness, resulting in 80 bars measuring 25 × 2×2 mm. The specimens underwent a Raman spectroscopy for degree of conversion, confocal laser scanning microscopy for surface roughness (Sa), three-point bending test for flexural strength and elastic modulus, and a Vickers hardness test (VHN). Data was tested for normality using the Shapiro-Wilk, two-way ANOVA, and Tukey test (α = 0.05) for statistical analysis. RESULTS The layer thickness affected all performed tests, but the elastic modulus (p < 0.001). Specimens with 100 µm showed, in general, worse results outcomes than those with 50 µm (p < 0.001). However, within the limitations of this comparative in vitro study, it could be concluded that the tested resins and layer thicknesses directly influenced physical and mechanical properties. SIGNIFICANCE The physical and mechanical properties of three-dimensional printed restorations can be affected by the layer thickness, which can interfere with the choice of the 3D printing resin for a desired clinical outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The formation of biofilm on denture bases is a recurrent clinical problem that favors the development of denture stomatitis. The effectiveness of a hygiene protocol in a 3D-printed denture base resin is still uncertain. OBJECTIVE To evaluate of the effectiveness of immersion, associated or not with brushing in a soap solution, on the biofilm control of a 3D-printed denture base resin. METHODOLOGY Specimens of denture base resins [Cosmos Denture (COS) and Classico (CLA/control)] were contaminated in vitro with Candida albicans and immersed in sodium hypochlorite 0.25% (SH, alkaline peroxide) AP, chlorhexidine digluconate 2% (CD or PBS-Control), associated or not with brushing with 0.78% Lifebuoy soap. Roughness was evaluated before and after brushing and immersion. The effectiveness of the protocols was assessed by CFU/mL, cellular metabolism (XTT), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and confocal scanning laser microscopy. Data were analyzed by T student, ANOVA/Welch, and Tukey/Gomes-Howell pos-hoc tests (α = 0.05). RESULTS CLA showed greater roughness than COS. CFU/mL and XTT were higher in COS resin with a higher hyphae formation. Immersion in SH and CD eliminated CFU/mL and reduced XTT for both resins, associated or not with brushing. AP reduced CFU/mL only when associated with brushing. CONCLUSIONS The biofilm on the 3D-printed resin was thicker and presumably more pathogenic, regardless of its smoother surface. Immersions in SH 0.25% and CD 2% are effective hygiene protocols for both resins, associated or not with brushing. AP should be recommended when associated with brushing with a Lifebuoy 0.78% solution.

Effect of build orientation in gloss, roughness and color of 3D-printed resins for provisional indirect restorations. Dent Mater 2023; 39:e1-e11. [PMID: 37248138 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2023.05.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2022] [Revised: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of build orientation of 3D-printed provisional resins (3DRs) on gloss (Gs), surface roughness (Sa), maximum profile valley depth (Rv), and color difference (∆E00). METHODS PMMA CAD/CAM blocks (Vita Temp/Vita) were sectioned and served as a Control. Four 3DRs (Cosmos-SLA/Yller, Cosmos-DLP/Yller, PriZma-Bioprov/Makertech, Nanolab/Wilcos) were obtained as discs (15-mm diameter, 2.5-mm thickness) in three orientations (0°, 45°, and 90°) using different 3D printers (Form 2/Formlabs, P30/Straumann, Hunter/Flashforge, W3D/Wilcos, respectively). Samples were then cleaned with isopropyl alcohol prior to post-curing in specific post-curing units. Half of the samples' surface was covered with an adhesive tape and submitted to 10,000 toothbrushing (TB) cycles. The Gs and Sa at the brushed and not brushed surfaces were evaluated with a glossmeter (Novo-curve) and a laser confocal microscope (OLS5000) (n = 10), which also obtained the Rv and 3D representative images of the interface between not brushed and brushed surfaces. Electron microscopy images of the surface of some samples was also performed (n = 3). On another set of samples (n = 5), the coordinates of luminosity and color were obtained with a spectrophotometer (Easyshade V) at baseline and after 16.7 h and 200 h of UVB aging, to calculate the ∆E00 using CIEDE:2000 formula. Additionally, 3DRs photoinitiators were identified using a minispectrometer (USB2000 +) (n = 5). Data of Gs and Sa were submitted to three-way-, Rv to two-way-, and ∆E00 to mixed-ANOVA tests, followed by Tukey's test (α = 0.05). For all variables, results from experimental groups were compared to control using Dunnett's test (α = 0.05). Student's t-test was used to compare the control at different TB cycles (Gs, Sa) or aging periods (∆E00) (α = 0.05). RESULTS Build orientation of 3DRs did not influence any of the variables studied. The 10,000 TB cycles resulted in a decrease in Gs and increase in Sa for all resins tested. The control showed higher Gs after 10,000 TB cycles than Cosmos-SLA and Nanolab resins. Compared to all 3DRs, Control presented lower ∆E00 after 200 h of UVB aging. All 3DRs presented higher ∆E00 than the clinically acceptable after 200 h of UVB aging. Lucirin® TPO was identified in all 3DRs, although PriZma might also present other photoinitiators and Nanolab might present Irgacure 369. SIGNIFICANCE Alterations in build orientation are very useful and frequently performed in the day-today of 3D-printing, thus its effect in the optical properties and in the topography of 3D-printed restorations is very relevant. For the evaluated 3D-printed provisional resins, build orientation did not influence any of the variables studied (Gs, Sa, Rv, and ∆E00), even after toothbrushing cycles and UVB aging.

Abstract
Chairside polishing kits are an alternative to laboratory polishing techniques. The effects of using a chairside polishing kit on a three-dimensional (3D)-printed acrylic denture base (ADB) have not been reported previously. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of different chairside polishing techniques on the surface characterizations of ABD, including surface roughness average (Ra), average maximum profile height (Rz), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) representations. One hundred and twenty disc-shaped specimens were fabricated from one conventional heat-polymerized (HP) ADB resin and two 3D-printed (Asiga (AS) and NextDent (ND)) ADB resins (n = 40 per material). Each group was further divided based on the polishing protocol (n = 10) as follows: conventional polishing protocol (C), microdont chairside polishing kit (M), shofu chairside polishing kit (S), and an unpolished group (U). The Ra and Rz values were measured using an optical profilometer. Two-way ANOVA and post hoc tests were used for data analysis (α = 0.05) at significant levels. In unpolished groups, there was a statistically significant difference between HP-U vs. AS-U and ND-U groups (p < 0.0001). For Ra, the lowest values were observed in HP-C, AS-S, and ND-C. While the highest values were shown in all unpolished groups. Within the material, there were statistically significant differences between the three polishing protocols (C, M, and S) vs. unpolished (p < 0.0001), while there was no significant between C, M, and S groups (p = 0.05). The Rz values had the same pattern as the Ra values. The two chairside polishing kits were comparable to conventional polishing techniques, and they can be recommended for clinical application.

Clin Oral Investig 2023; 27:2521-2532. [PMID: 36462040 PMCID: PMC10264508 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-022-04809-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2022] [Accepted: 11/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/07/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy, in terms of trueness and precision, of printed models using five different industrial and dental desktop 3D printers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Full-arch digital models with scanbodies of 15 patients were printed with five different 3D printers. The industrial printers were 3D system Project MJP2500 (3DS) and Objet30 OrthoDesk (Obj). The dental desktop printers were NextDent 5100 (ND), Formlabs Form 2 (FL) and Rapidshape D30 (RS). A total of 225 printed models were analysed. The printed models were digitized and compared with the reference cast model using the Control X software (Geomagic). The descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA with the post hoc Tukey test were performed (α = 0.05). RESULTS The one-way ANOVA for the trueness and precision of the printed model presented the best results for the 3DS, followed by ND, Obj, FL and RS (P < 0.01). In the scanbody zone, the best results were for the 3DS group, followed by Obj, ND, FL and RS (P < 0.01). Comparing the technologies, the Multijet technology used in industrial printers presented better results than the DLP and SLA technologies used in dental desktop printers (P > 0.01). CONCLUSIONS There were statistically significant differences in terms of the accuracy of the printed models, with better results for the industrial than the dental desktop 3D printers. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The industrial 3D printers used in dental laboratories presented better accuracy than the in-office dental desktop 3D printers, and this should be considered when the best accuracy is needed to perform final prosthetic restorations.

Manufacturing accuracy of the intaglio surface of definitive resin-ceramic crowns fabricated at different print orientations by using a stereolithography printer. J Prosthet Dent 2023:S0022-3913(23)00267-6. [PMID: 37246096 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2023.04.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2023] [Indexed: 05/30/2023]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Stereolithography (SLA) procedures can be chosen for manufacturing definitive crowns; however, how the print orientation impacts the trueness and precision of the intaglio surface of the printed definitive restorations is unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro investigation was to calculate the manufacturing accuracy of the intaglio surface of SLA definitive resin-ceramic crowns fabricated at varying print orientations (0, 45, 75, or 90 degrees). MATERIAL AND METHODS The standard tessellation language (STL) file of an anatomic contour molar crown was obtained and used to fabricate all the crowns by using a definitive resin-ceramic material (Permanent Crown) and an SLA printer (Form 3B+). Four groups were developed depending on the print orientation selected to manufacture the crowns: 0-, 45-, 70-, and 90-degree print orientation (n=30). Each crown specimen was digitized without the use of scanning powder by using a desktop scanner (T710). The crown design file was determined as the reference (control) group and used to calculate the fabricating trueness and precision of the intaglio surface of the specimens using the root mean square (RMS) error computation. Trueness data were examined by using 1-way ANOVA and post hoc pairwise multiple comparison Tukey tests, while precision data were analyzed using the Levene test (α=.05). RESULTS The mean ±standard deviation RMS error discrepancies ranged from 37 ±3 μm to 113 ±11 μm. One-way ANOVA exposed significant trueness (P<.001) differences among the groups considered in this study. Furthermore, all the print orientation groups tested were different from each other (P<.001). The 0-degree group presented the best trueness value (37 μm), while the 90-degree group obtained the worst trueness value (113 μm). The Levene test exposed significant precision differences among the groups assessed (P<.001). The 0-degree group had a significantly lower standard deviation (higher precision) (3 μm) than the other groups, with no difference among the other groups tested (P>.05). CONCLUSIONS The fabricating trueness and precision of the intaglio surface of the SLA resin-ceramic crowns was impacted by the varying print orientations assessed.

Clear guidance to select the most accurate technologies for 3D printing dental models - A network meta-analysis. J Dent 2023; 134:104532. [PMID: 37120090 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2023.104532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Revised: 03/20/2023] [Accepted: 04/25/2023] [Indexed: 05/01/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Thus far, the findings of numerous studies conducted on the accuracy of three-dimensional (3D) printed dental models are conflicting. Therefore, the aim of the network meta-analysis (NMA) is to determine the accuracy of 3D printed dental models compared with digital reference models. DATA Studies comparing the accuracy of 3D printed full-arch dental models manufactured using different printing techniques to initial STL files were included. SOURCES This study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021285863). An electronic search was performed across four databases in November 2021, and search was restricted to the English language. STUDY SELECTION A systematic search was conducted based on a prespecified search query. 16,303 articles were pooled after the removal of the duplicates. Following study selection and data extraction, 11 eligible studies were included in the NMA in 6 subgroups. The outcomes were specified as trueness and precision and expressed as root mean square (RMS) and absolute mean deviation values. Seven printing technologies were analyzed: stereolithography (SLA), digital light processing (DLP), fused deposition modeling/fused filament fabrication (FDM/FFF), MultiJet, PolyJet, continuous liquid interface production (CLIP), and LCD technology. The QUADAS-2 and GRADE were used to evaluate the risk of bias and certainty of evidence. CONCLUSIONS SLA, DLP, and PolyJet technologies were the most accurate in producing precise full-arch dental models. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The findings of the NMA suggest that SLA, DLP, and PolyJet technologies are sufficiently accurate for full-arch dental model production for prosthodontic purposes. In contrast, FDM/FFF, CLIP, and LCD technologies are less suitable for manufacturing dental devices.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Vat-polymerization tilting stereolithography (TSLA) technology can be selected for fabricating definitive crowns; however, how the printing variables, including print orientation, influence its manufacturing accuracy remains unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the influence of different print orientations (0, 45, 75, or 90 degrees) on the intaglio surface accuracy (trueness and precision) of TSLA definitive resin-ceramic crowns. MATERIAL AND METHODS The virtual design of an anatomic contour molar crown was obtained in standard tessellation language (STL) file format and used to manufacture all the specimens by using a TSLA printer (DFAB Chairside) and a resin-ceramic material (Irix Max Photoshade single-use cartridges). Four groups were created depending on the print orientation used to manufacture the specimens: 0- (Group 0), 45- (Group 45), 70- (Group 75), and 90-degree (Group 90) print orientation (n=30). Each specimen was digitized by using a laboratory scanner (T710) according to the manufacturer's scanning protocol. The reference STL file was used as a control to measure the volumetric discrepancies of the intaglio surface with the digitized specimens by using the root mean square (RMS) error calculation. The trueness data were analyzed by using 1-way ANOVA followed by post hoc pairwise multiple comparison Tukey tests, and precision data were analyzed using the Levene test (α=.05). RESULTS Significant mean trueness (P<.001) and precision (P<.001) value discrepancies were found among the groups tested. Additionally, all the groups were significantly different from each other (P<.001), except for the 45- and 90-degree groups (P=.868). Group 0 showed the best mean trueness and precision values, while the Group 90 demonstrated the lowest mean trueness and precision values. CONCLUSIONS The print orientations tested influenced the intaglio surface trueness and precision values of the TSLA definitive resin-ceramic crowns.

Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15081836. [PMID: 37111983 PMCID: PMC10146129 DOI: 10.3390/polym15081836] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2023] [Revised: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the adhesion and biofilm formation of Candida albicans (C. albicans) on conventionally fabricated, milled, and 3D-printed denture base resin materials in order to determine the susceptibility of denture contamination during clinical use. Specimens were incubated with C. albicans (ATCC 10231) for 1 and 24 h. Adhesion and biofilm formation of C. albicans were assessed using the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The XTT (2,3-(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulphophenyl)-5-[(phenylamino) carbonyl]-2H-tetrazolium hydroxide) assay was used for the quantification of fungal adhesion and biofilm formation. The data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism 8.02 for windows. One-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc testing were performed with a statistical significance level set at α = 0.05. The quantitative XTT biofilm assay revealed significant differences in the biofilm formation of C. albicans between the three groups in the 24 h incubation period. The highest proportion of biofilm formation was observed in the 3D-printed group, followed by the conventional group, while the lowest candida biofilm formation was observed in the milled group. The difference in biofilm formation among the three tested dentures was statistically significant (p < 0.001). The manufacturing technique has an influence on the surface topography and microbiological properties of the fabricated denture base resin material. Additive 3D-printing technology results in increased candida adhesion and the roughest surface topography of maxillary resin denture base as compared to conventional flask compression and CAD/CAM milling techniques. In a clinical setting, patients wearing additively manufactured maxillary complete dentures are thus more susceptible to the development of candida-associated denture stomatitis and accordingly, strict oral hygiene measures and maintenance programs should be emphasized to patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the clinical performance of occlusal splints printed from thermo-flexible resin with milled splints. METHODS A parallel two-arm pilot trial was initiated. Forty-seven patients (n women=38) were recruited from a tertiary care center and randomized using an online tool (sealed envelope). Inclusion criterion was an indication for treatment with a centric relation occlusal splint due to bruxism or any form of painful temporomandibular disorder. Patients were excluded if they were younger than 18 years, unable to attend follow-up appointments, or required another type of splint therapy. Patients received either, a 3D-printed (intervention group, V-print splint comfort, VOCO) or a milled splint (control group, ProArt CAD splint, Ivoclar). Construction software Ceramill M-splint (AmannGirrbach), 3D-printer MAX UV 385 (Asiga) and milling unit PrograMill PM7 (Ivoclar) were used. Follow-up assessments were conducted after 2 weeks and 3 months. Outcome measures were survival, adherence, technical complications, patient satisfaction on a 10-point Likert scale, and maximum wear using superimposition of optical scans. RESULTS After 3 months, 20/23 intervention group and 18/24 control group participants were assessed. All splints survived. Minor complications were small crack formations on 6 printed and 4 milled splints. Mean patient satisfaction was 8 (SD 1.7) for printed, and 8.1 (SD 2.3) for milled splints (r= .1, p=.52). Median maximum wear was highly dispersed with 153 (IQR 140) in posterior and 195 (IQR 537) in frontal segments of printed, and 96 (IQR 78) respectively 123 (IQR 155) of milled splints, (both: r= .31, p=.084). CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of a pilot trial, 3D-printed and milled splints performed similarly in terms of patient satisfaction, complication rates and wear behavior. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Thermo-flexible material was proposed for 3D printing of occlusal splints to overcome mechanical weaknesses of previously available resins. This randomized pilot study provides evidence that this material is a viable alternative to milled splints for at least three months of clinical use. Further evidence on long-term use should be obtained.

Fracture Load of 3D-Printed Interim Three-Unit Fixed Dental Prostheses: Impact of Printing Orientation and Post-Curing Time. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15071737. [PMID: 37050351 PMCID: PMC10097162 DOI: 10.3390/polym15071737] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023] Open
Abstract
The fracture resistance of 3-unit interim fixed dental prostheses (IFDPs) fabricated using digital light processing (DLP) additive technology with different printing parameters is neglected. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of different printing orientations and different post-curing times on the fracture resistance of 3-unit IFDPs fabricated from two three-dimensional (3D) printed resins, NextDent, C&B (CB), ASIGA, and DentaTOOTH. A 3-unit dye was scanned, and an IFDP was designed. A total of 300 specimens (150/materials, n = 10) were printed and divided into three groups according to printing orientations (0°, 45°, 90°) per material. Each orientation was subdivided into five groups (n = 10) considering the post-curing time (green state as control, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min). All specimens underwent thermocycling (5000 cycles). Each specimen was fitted onto the die and loaded until fracture using a universal testing machine with a loading rate of 1 m/min. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and post hoc Tukey test (α = 0.05). The result showed that printing orientation had a significant effect on the fracture load for both ASIGA and NextDent materials (p < 0.05). The highest fracture load was recorded with 45° orientation, followed by 0° orientation and 90° orientation showed the lowest values per respective post-curing time. Post-curing time increased the fracture load (p < 0.05). Post-curing time had a positive effect on the fracture load. As the post-curing time increased, the fracture resistance load increased (p < 0.05), with 90 and 120 min showing the highest fracture load. The 0° and 45° printing orientations have a high fracture load for 3D-printed IFDPs, and an increased post-curing time is recommended.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the survival and mechanical properties of 3-unit interim fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) made with additive manufacturing (AM) technology compared to milled and conventional manual fabrication. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty 3-unit interim FDPs replacing the first left mandibular molar were divided in 6 groups (n = 10): manual (Man) (Protemp 4), milled (Mil) (Telio-CAD Multi), and 4 additive manufacturing (AM) groups were subdivided into 4 AM technology subgroups: direct light positioning (DLP) (Rapidshape P30 [RS]), and stereolitography (SLA) (Formlabs 2 [FL]) and the type of printed interim polymer (P Pro C&B [St] and SHERAprint-cb [Sh]) (RS-St, RS-Sh, FL-St, and FL-Sh). Survival and complications were assessed after thermomechanical aging. The surviving samples were tested for fracture resistance. Kaplan-Meier test followed by log-rank test to show differences between groups was used to calculate the survival and complication rates. For fracture strength, one-way ANOVA and Tukey-b post hoc test were used to compare groups. Descriptive statistics was used for failure modes and Pearson chi-square to compare groups (α = 0.05). RESULTS Survival rates among groups varied from 100% (Man, Mil and FL-Sh), 70% (FL-St), 50% (RS-Sh), and 20% (RS-Sh) (p < 0.001), respectively. Additional events were observed in 50% to 80% in FL-St, RS-St, and RS-Sh groups (p < 0.001). Man, FL-St, and RS-S showed lower mean static load resistance (p < 0.001). Fracture through the connector between tooth 35 and the pontic was the most prevalent type of failure. CONCLUSION The manufacturing method, type of resin, and the printing mode had a significant influence on the mechanical properties of AM interim 3-unit FDPs.

Abstract
Denture care and maintenance are necessary for both denture longevity and underlying tissue health. However, the effects of disinfectants on the strength of 3D-printed denture base resins are unclear. Herein, distilled water (DW), effervescent tablet, and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) immersion solutions were used to investigate the flexural properties and hardness of two 3D-printed resins (NextDent and FormLabs) compared with a heat-polymerized resin. The flexural strength and elastic modulus were investigated using the three-point bending test and Vickers hardness test before (baseline) immersion and 180 days after immersion. The data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test (α = 0.05), and further verified by using electron microscopy and infrared spectroscopy. The flexural strength of all the materials decreased after solution immersion (p < 0.001). The effervescent tablet and NaOCl immersion reduced the flexural strength (p < 0.001), with the lowest values recorded with the NaOCl immersion. The elastic modulus did not significantly differ between the baseline and after the DW immersion (p > 0.05), but significantly decreased after the effervescent tablet and NaOCl immersion (p < 0.001). The hardness significantly decreased after immersion in all the solutions (p < 0.001). The immersion of the heat-polymerized and 3D-printed resins in the DW and disinfectant solutions decreased the flexural properties and hardness.

[PMID: 36509012 PMCID: PMC9845185 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2022.105612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2022] [Revised: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Functional cellular structures with controllable mechanical and morphological properties are of great interest for applications including tissue engineering, energy storage, and aerospace. Additive manufacturing (AM), also referred to as 3D printing, has enabled the potential for fabrication of functional porous scaffolds (i.e., meta-biomaterials) with controlled geometrical, morphological, and mechanical properties. Understanding the biomechanical behavior of 3D printed porous scaffolds under physiologically relevant loading and environmental conditions is crucial in accurately predicting the in vivo performance. This study was aimed to investigate the environmental dependency of the mechanical responses of 3D printed porous scaffolds of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) Class IIa biomaterial that was based on triply periodic minimal surfaces - TPMS (i.e., Primitive and Schoen-IWP). The 3D printed scaffolds (n = 5/study group) were tested under compressive loading in both ambient and fluidic (distilled water with pH = 7.4) environments according to ASTM D1621 standards. Outcomes of this study showed that compressive properties of the developed scaffolds are significantly lower in the fluidic condition than the ambient environment for the same topological and morphological group (p≤0.023). Additionally, compressive properties and flexural stiffness of the studied scaffolds were within the range of trabecular bone's properties, for both topological classes. Relationships between predicted mechanical responses and morphological properties (i.e., porosity) were evaluated for each topological class. Quantitative correlation analysis indicated that mechanical behavior of the developed 3D printed scaffolds can be controlled based on both topology and morphology.

Influence of print orientation and wet-dry storage time on the intaglio accuracy of additively manufactured occlusal devices. J Prosthet Dent 2023:S0022-3913(22)00765-X. [PMID: 36635137 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2022.12.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2022] [Revised: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Different factors can affect the manufacturing accuracy of additively manufactured dental devices; however, the influence of print orientation and wet-dry storage time on their intaglio accuracy remains uncertain. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the effect of print orientation (0, 45, 70, and 90 degrees) and wet-dry storage time (0, 30, 60, and 90 days) on the intaglio accuracy of additively manufactured occlusal devices. MATERIAL AND METHODS An occlusal device design was obtained in a standard tessellation language (STL) file format (control file) which was used to fabricate all the specimens by using a stereolithography printer (Form 3+) and a biocompatible resin material (Dental LT Clear Resin, V2). Four groups were created based on the print orientation used to manufacture the specimens: 0, 45, 70, and 90 degrees. Each group was divided into 4 subgroups depending on the time elapsed between manufacturing and accuracy evaluation: 0, 30, 60, and 90 days. For the subgroup 0, a desktop scanner (T710) was used to digitize all the specimens. The 30-day subgroup specimens were stored for 30 days with the following daily storage protocol: 16 hours inside a dry lightproof container, followed by 8 hours in artificial saliva (1700-0305 Artificial Saliva) inside the same lightproof container. The specimens were then digitized by following the same procedures used for subgroup 0. For the subgroups 60 and 90, the identical procedures described for subgroup 30 were completed but after 60 and 90 days of storage, respectively. The reference STL file was used to measure the intaglio discrepancy with the experimental scans obtained among the different subgroups by using the root mean square error calculation. Two-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey pairwise comparison tests were used to analyze the data (α=.05). RESULTS Print orientation (P<.001) and usage time (P<.001) were significant predictors of the trueness value obtained. Additionally, the 0-degree print orientation at day 0 group demonstrated the best trueness value among all the groups tested (P<.05). No significant trueness discrepancies were found among the 45-, 70-, and 90-degree print orientation, or among the 30, 60, and 90 days of storage. A significant precision difference was found in the variance between print orientation groups across usage time subgroups. CONCLUSIONS The print orientation and wet-dry storage times tested influenced the trueness and precision of the intaglio surfaces of the occlusal devices manufactured with the 3D printer and material selected.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: The ever more complex modern dental education requires permanent adaptation to expanding medical knowledge and new advancements in digital technologies as well as intensification of interdisciplinary collaboration. Our study presents a newly developed computerized method allowing virtual case simulation on modular digital dental models and 3D-printing of the obtained digital models; additionally, undergraduate dental students' opinion on the advanced method is investigated in this paper. Materials and Methods: Based on the digitalization of didactic dental models, the proposed method generates modular digital dental models that can be easily converted into different types of partial edentulism scenarios, thus allowing the development of a digital library. Three-dimensionally printed simulated dental models can subsequently be manufactured based on the previously obtained digital models. The opinion of a group of undergraduate dental students (n = 205) on the proposed method was assessed via a questionnaire, administered as a Google form, sent via email. Results: The modular digital models allow students to perform repeated virtual simulations of any possible partial edentulism cases, to project 3D virtual treatment plans and to observe the subtle differences between diverse teeth preparations; the resulting 3D-printed models could be used in students' practical training. The proposed method received positive feedback from the undergraduate students. Conclusions: The advanced method is adequate for dental students' training, enabling the gradual design of modular digital dental models with partial edentulism, from simple to complex cases, and the hands-on training on corresponding 3D-printed dental models.

J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2022; 136:105479. [PMID: 36279743 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2022.105479] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/18/2022] [Indexed: 10/14/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study evaluated the effects of 3D-printing build orientation on accuracy, flexural modulus (FM), flexural strength (FS), and microhardness of selected, commercial 3D-printed provisional resins (3DRs). MATERIAL AND METHODS PMMA CAD/CAM provisional material (Vita Temp/Vita) served as Control. Four 3DRs (Cosmos-SLA/Yller, Cosmos-DLP/Yller, PriZma-Bioprov/Makertech, Nanolab/Wilcos) were used in three printing orientations (0°, 45°, and 90°). Printed samples were cleaned with isopropyl alcohol prior to post-curing in specific post-curing units. For each group, 20 bar-shaped samples (25 × 2x2 mm) and ten disc-shaped samples (15-mm diameter, 2.5-mm thick) were obtained. The dimensions of bar samples were measured and the mean percent errors were compared to the reference (digital) values to obtain "accuracy" (n = 20). Samples were then aged in distilled water at 37 °C and half were submitted to a three-point bend test in a universal testing machine after 24 h and the other half after 1 year (n = 10). Disc samples were polished prior to microhardness evaluation (n = 10). Microstructure and elemental composition of filler particles in the 3DRs were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) (n = 3). Accuracy and microhardness were submitted to two way-, and FM and FS to three way-ANOVA, followed by Tukey's tests. Results of experimental groups were compared to a milled PMMA Control using Dunnett's tests, and Student's t-tests compared FM and FS to Control at different aging periods (α = 0.05). RESULTS Except for Cosmos-DLP, the 90° orientation demonstrated the best overall accuracy in all dimensions evaluated. The overall accuracy of Cosmos-SLA was not significantly different from Control and higher than other 3DRs. The FM of all 3DRs was lower than Control, regardless of orientation and aging period. After 1 year of aging, FS of 45°-Cosmos-SLA and all orientations of PriZma were not different from Control, while 90°-Cosmos-SLA was higher. Build orientation had no influence on microhardness of the 3DRs: Nanolab was the only resin harder than Control. Very few nanometric spherical filler particles were found in Cosmos-SLA, Cosmos-DLP, and PriZma, while Nanolab presented higher number of particles having irregular shapes and sizes. CONCLUSIONS In general, although build orientation did not influence microhardness results, the 90° -orientation resulted in the best overall accuracy for most 3DRs. After 1-year water storage, Cosmos-SLA printed vertically showed the highest FS, while the PMMA Control obtained the highest FM for both aging periods.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
Large part of the tooth is required to be removed during crown preparation. A minimally invasive method for preparing single crowns is required to increase the durability of teeth. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance of two ceramic systems fabricated with minimally invasive vertical preparation.
Materials and methods
Forty endodontically treated maxillary premolars were prepared with vertical preparation and received temporary crowns for a period of 21 days. Twenty zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (Celtra Duo HT, Dentsply Sirona, Germany) and 20 monolithic high translucency zirconia (Katana HT, Kuarary Noritake, Japan) crowns were fabricated by CAD/CAM and cemented with dual-polymerizing luting resin. The crowns were evaluated clinically and radiographically for 36 months following modified FDI criteria. Statistical analysis was conducted with t Student test (Cochran Q).
Results
Over the follow-up period, there was no need to replace any of the study’s crowns. The overall survival rate of the 40 crowns was 100% according to the Kaplan–Meier survival method. The clinical quality of all crowns and the patient’s satisfaction were high. No caries was detected and no adverse soft tissue reactions around the crowns were observed. Periodontal probing depth was reported to be increased at mesial and distal sites more than the facial one in the 36-month follow-up with no statistically significant difference between both materials (P = 0.186).
Conclusions
Zirconia and zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate could be used as a material for restoration of teeth prepared with vertical preparation technique. Both ceramic materials achieved good esthetic results, promotes healthy and stable soft tissues with no mechanical complications after 3 years of clinical evaluation.
Clinical relevance
Monolithic high translucency zirconia and zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate ceramics can be used for the restorations of minimal invasive vertical preparation in premolar area with 0.5 mm margin thickness.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM How postpolymerization conditions affect the color and mechanical properties of 3-dimensional (3D)-printed prostheses is unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the color, microhardness, and flexural strength of 3D-printed interim resin materials and to assess the effect of postpolymerization devices, polymerizing locations, and thermocycling on those properties. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 270 disk-shaped specimens and 180 bar-shaped specimens were designed and 3D-printed with interim resin material (NextDent C&B). The specimens were postpolymerized in 1 of 3 devices (Group ND; NextDent, Group CR; Carima, and Group FL; Formlabs). Each group was divided into 3 circular zones of the polymerizing plate (central, medial, and lateral). Half of the specimens were subjected to 10 000 thermocycles. Color measurement, Vickers microhardness test, and 3-point flexural strength test were performed. Data were statistically analyzed by using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests (α=.05). RESULTS The L∗a∗b∗ color coordinates exhibited significant differences among the 3 zones (P<.05). The color and translucency differences according to CIELab and CIEDE among the zones exceeded the clinically perceptible levels in group CR. ΔE and ΔTP between with and without thermocycling were significantly different among the devices (P<.05). Microhardness and flexural strength were significantly different among the zones for those affected by thermocycling (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS Different locations in postpolymerization devices influenced the color, translucency, and mechanical properties of 3D-printed interim resin materials. Thermocycling induced color and translucency changes and the mechanical weakening of postpolymerized resins, and the impact differed according to the device type.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of 5 manufacturing technologies and 2 finish line designs on the trueness and dimensional stability of 3D-printed definitive dies at finish line regions under different storage conditions and time. MATERIAL AND METHODS Preparation of light chamfer and round shoulder finish lines were adopted individually on two mandibular first molar typodont teeth and digitalized as standard tessellation language (STL) files. A total of 240 samples (192 AM definitive dies and 48 definitive conventional stone dies) in 20 groups (n = 12) were manufactured based on 2 finishing line designs (chamfer and shoulder), 5 manufacturing technologies (4 additively manufactured technologies and conventional stone die), and 2 storage conditions (light exposure and dark). The 4 additively manufactured (AM) technologies include a DLP 3D-printer, an economic LED 3D-printer, a CLIP 3D-printer, and an SLA 3D-printer. All the study samples were distributed into two storage conditions. Subsequently, samples were digitalized to STL files at 3 different time points (within 36 hours, 1-month, and 3-months). A surface matching software was used to superimpose the sample STL files onto the corresponding original STL files with the best-fit alignment function. The trueness of each printed and stone definitive dies and their dimensional stabilities were measured by the root mean square (RMS, in mm). A linear mixed-effects model was used to test the effects of the finish line design, manufacturing technology, storage condition, and storage time on RMS values (α = 0.05). RESULTS While finish line designs had no significant effects [F(1, 220) = 0.85, P < 0.358], the manufacturing technologies [F(3, 220) = 33.02, P < .001], storage condition [F(1, 220) = 4.11, P = .044], and storage time F(2, 440) = 10.37, P < .001] affected the trueness and dimensional stability of 3D-printed dies at finish line regions. No significant interactions were found among the 4 factors. For the manufacturing technologies, Type IV stone groups and LCD 3D-printer groups had significantly higher RMS values than the other 3 printers (P < .001) with no significant differences between Type IV stone and LCD 3D-printer groups (P = .577). DLP 3D-printer groups had higher RMS values than both SLA 3D-printer groups and CLIP 3D-printer groups (P < .001). There were no significant differences between SLA 3D-printer groups and CLIP 3D-printer groups, P = 0.671. For the effects of storage conditions, RMS values were significantly higher in the groups stored with the direct light exposure than the ones stored in the dark, P = .044. In terms of the effects of storage time, the RMS values were significantly higher after 1-month storage, P = 0.002; and 3-month storage, P <.001, than the ones at the immediate post-manufacturing stage. However, the RMS values after 1-month and 3-month storage were not significantly different from each other (P = .169). CONCLUSIONS Manufacturing technologies, storage conditions, and storage time significantly affected the trueness and dimensional stability of 3D-printed dies at finish line regions, while finish line designs had no significant effects. Among the AM technologies tested, all have produced either comparable or truer 3D-printed dies than the Type IV dental stone dies, and the CLIP and SLA 3D-printers produced the best outcomes. 3D-printed dies showed significant distortion after 1-month and 3-months storage, especially under light exposure storage conditions. These findings may negate the clinical need to preserve 3D-printed dies, and digital data should be preserved instead. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Influence of the layer thickness on the flexural strength of aged and non-aged additively manufactured interim dental material. J Prosthodont 2022; 32:68-73. [PMID: 35924435 DOI: 10.1111/jopr.13582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To measure the flexural strength and Weibull characteristics of aged and non-aged printed interim dental material fabricated with different layer thickness. MATERIAL AND METHODS Bars (25×2×2 mm) were additively fabricated by using a polymer printer (Asiga Max) and an interim resin (Nexdent C&B MFH). Specimens were fabricated with the same printing parameters and postprocessing procedures, but with 7 different layer thickness: 50 (control or 50-G group), 10 (10-G group), 25 (25-G group), 75 (75-G group), 100 (100-G group), 125 (125-G group), and 150 μm (150-G group). Two subgroups were created: non-aged and aged subgroups (n = 10). A universal testing machine was selected to measure flexural strength. Two-parameter Weibull distribution values were computed. Two-way ANOVA and Tukey tests were elected to examine the data (α = .05). RESULTS Artificial aging methods (P<.001) were a significant predictor of the flexural strength computed. Aged specimens acquired less flexural strength than non-aged specimens. The Weibull distribution obtained the highest shape for non-aged 50-G and 75-G group specimens compared with those of other non-aged groups, while the Weibull distribution showed the highest shape for aged 125-G specimens. CONCLUSIONS The flexural strength of the additively fabricated interim material examined was not influenced by the layer thickness at which the specimens were fabricated; however, artificial aging techniques reduced its flexural strength. Aged specimens presented lower Weibull distribution values compared with non-aged specimens, except for the 125-G specimens. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

An organotypic model of oral mucosa cells for the biological assessment of 3D-printed resins for interim restorations. J Prosthet Dent 2022:S0022-3913(22)00273-6. [PMID: 35864023 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2022.04.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2021] [Revised: 04/18/2022] [Accepted: 04/18/2022] [Indexed: 10/17/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Three-dimensionally (3D) printed resins have become popular as a new class of materials for making interim restorations. However, little is known about how the fabrication parameters can influence biological compatibility with oral tissues. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of the postpolymerization time on the cytotoxicity of resins for printing interim restorations by using a 3D organotypic model of the oral mucosa. MATERIAL AND METHODS Cylindrical specimens were prepared with conventional acrylic resin (AR), computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture (CAD-CAM) resin (CC), composite resin (CR), and 2 resins for 3D printing (3DP) marketed as being biocompatible. The 3DPs were submitted to postpolymerization in an ultraviolet (UV) light chamber for 1, 10, or 20 minutes (90 W, 405 nm). Standard specimens of the materials were incubated for 1, 3, and 7 days in close contact with an organotypic model of keratinocytes (NOK-Si) in coculture with gingival fibroblasts (HGF) in a 3D collagen matrix, or directly with 3D HGF cultures. Then, the viability (Live/Dead n=2) and metabolism (Alamar Blue n=6) of the cells were assessed. Spectral scanning of the culture medium was performed to detect released components (n=6) and assessed statistically with ANOVA and the Tukey post hoc test (α=.05). RESULTS Severe reduction of metabolism (>70%) and viability of keratinocytes occurred for 3DP resin postpolymerized for 1 minute in all periods of analysis in a time-dependent manner. The decrease in cell metabolism and viability was moderate for the 3D culture of HGFs in both experimental models, correlated with the intense presence of resin components in the culture medium. The resins postpolymerized for 10 and 20 minutes promoted a mild-moderate cytotoxic effect in the period of 1 day, similar to AR. However, recovery of cell viability occurred at the 7-day incubation period. The 3DP resins submitted to postpolymerization for 20 minutes showed a pattern similar to that of CR and CC at the end of the experiment. CONCLUSIONS The cytotoxic potential of the tested 3DP resins on oral mucosa cells was influenced by postprinting processing, which seemed to have been related with the quantity of residual components leached.

Abstract
The shell technique has been described for fabricating direct interim restorations by using conventional and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) methods. However, the positioning of the shell over the tooth preparations can be challenging. In the present manuscript, the clinical and laboratory steps for manufacturing a 2-piece magnet-retained shell for direct interim restoration fabrication are described. The 2-piece shell was produced by combining milling and additive manufacturing procedures. The described technique aims to simplify the correct positioning of the shell and facilitate direct interim restoration fabrication.

Color alterations, flexural strength, and microhardness of 3D printed resins for fixed provisional restoration using different post-curing times. Dent Mater 2022; 38:1271-1282. [PMID: 35717230 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2022.06.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2022] [Revised: 06/06/2022] [Accepted: 06/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of post-curing times on the color change, flexural strength (FS), modulus (FM) and microhardness at different depths of four 3D printed resins. MATERIALS AND METHODS A characterization of the light emitted by 3D-resin post-curing unit (Wash and Cure 2.0, Anycubic) was performed. The tested 3D printed resins were Cosmos Temp3D (COS), SmartPrint BioTemp (SM) Resilab3D Temp (RES) and Prizma3D BioProv (PRI) were evaluated under five different post-curing conditions (no post-curing or 5-, 10-, 15, and 20 min of post-curing). For color change analysis, 10 mm diameter x 1 mm thick discs (n = 7) were printed, and the luminosity, color and translucency were measured before post-curing as control, and repeatedly after 5 min cycles of post-curing until a total of 20 min was reached for ΔE00 [CIED2000 (1:1:1)] calculation. For FS and FM, 25 × 2×2 mm (n = 10, for each post-curing time) 3D printed bars were subjected to a 3-point being test. Knoop microhardness (KHN) was measured transversally on 5 × 5×5 mm blocks (n = 10, for each post-curing time). Color results were analyzed by one-way repeated measures ANOVA (factor: color change). FS and FM were analyzed by two-way ANOVA (factors: Material*Post-Curing Time). KHN was analyzed individually for each material by two-way ANOVA (factors: Depth*Post-Curing Time). RESULTS The post-curing time significantly influenced the ΔE00, FS, FM and KHN of all the evaluated materials. COS and SMA presented ΔE00 values above the acceptability threshold after 5 and 10 min of post-curing, respectively. The FS of RES reached a plateau after 5 min of post-curing, and for PRI and SMA, the FS stabilized after 10 min of post-curing. The post-curing process improved the KHN of the tested materials, and longer exposure periods were associated to higher KHN values at all the evaluated depths. SIGNIFICANCE A fine adjustment of the post-curing time is crucial to produce adequate mechanical properties in 3D-printed restorative resins, while minimizing the color alterations on the restorations. For the evaluated resins, 5-10 min of post-curing will result in adequate mechanical properties, without affecting the acceptability in the color of the material. However, the results are material-dependent, and evaluation of each specific resin is advised.

A comparison of trueness and precision of 12 3D printers used in dentistry. BDJ Open 2022; 8:14.

Abstract
Introduction Judging the dimensional accuracy of the resulting printed part requires comparison and conformity between the 3D printed model and its virtual counterpart. The resolution and accuracy of 3D model samples are determined by a wide array of factors depending on the technology used and related factors such as the print head/laser spot size/screen resolution, build orientation, materials, geometric features, and their topology. Aims The aim of this manuscript is to present a literature review on 12 3D printers, namely the Ackuretta Sol, Anycubic Photon and Photon S, Asiga Max UV, Elegoo Mars, Envisiontec Vida HD, Envisiontec One, Envisiontec D4K Pro, Formlabs Form 2 and Form 3, Nextdent 5100, and Planmeca Creo, studying the accuracy of these printers that are of a wide variety of budgets. Design The present study involves some of the recently released 3D printers that have not yet been studied for their accuracy. Since these new printers will replace current models that may have been included in the previous studies in the literature, it is important to study whether they are statistically more or less accurate and to discuss whether these results are clinically relevant. For the purposes of this study, the use of a standardised printable object was used to measure the accuracy of these recent 3D printers. Materials and methods In total, 12 3D printers produced test blocks. All test blocks were printed using the same settings with 100 micron Z layer thickness and the print time set to standard where applicable. To measure the resulting blocks a digital measurement was taken using a Dentsply Sirona Ineos X5 lab scanner to measure the XYZ dimensions of each block produced on each printer using CloudCompare to measure the deviation compared to the Master STL. Each measurement was taken from the central axis of that dimension. Results When grouped into homogenous subsets, the cheapest 3D printers in the group, namely the Anycubic printers and the Elegoo Mars, are statistically not dissimilar to the higher priced Asiga Max UV or even the mid-priced Formlabs printers in the X and Z dimensions. However, the Envisiontec One and D4K Pro, Ackuretta Sol and Asiga Max UV were statistically superior in terms of consistently accurate Y dimension. Although these printers use different technologies to print, no specific type of printer technology is more accurate than the others. Discussion The null hypothesis was proved to be true, in that no significant differences were found among the various technologies of 3D printing regarding trueness and precision. The evolution of 3D printers that leads to budget printers being as statistically accurate, for at least two of the dimensions of data recorded, as expensive printers is remarkable. Whilst clear differences in the mean error between the printers were found, the performance of these printers is considered exceptional. Albeit, the Envision One, Envision D4K, Ackuretta Sol and Asiga Max UV printers performed the best with overall trueness under 35 μm. Conclusion This study shows that the current range of 3D printers can produce clinically acceptable levels of accuracy. The present study also shows that there is no statistical difference in the results of budget printers and more expensive printers for the X and Z dimensions but this was not the case for the measurements in the Y dimension. This study confirms that all of the 3D printers can produce a reliable, reproducible model.

Compressive and Flexural Strength of 3D-Printed and Conventional Resins Designated for Interim Fixed Dental Prostheses: An In Vitro Comparison. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15093075. [PMID: 35591410 PMCID: PMC9104158 DOI: 10.3390/ma15093075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2022] [Revised: 04/16/2022] [Accepted: 04/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
A provisionalization sequence is essential for obtaining a predictable final prosthetic outcome. An assessment of the mechanical behavior of interim prosthetic materials could orient clinicians towards selecting an appropriate material for each clinical case. The aim of this study was to comparatively evaluate the mechanical behavior—with compressive and three-point flexural tests—of certain 3D-printed and conventional resins used to obtain interim fixed dental prostheses. Four interim resin materials were investigated: two 3D-printed resins and two conventional resins (an auto-polymerized resin and a pressure/heat-cured acrylic resin). Cylindrically shaped samples (25 × 25 mm/diameter × height) were obtained for the compression tests and bar-shaped samples (80 × 20 × 5 mm/length × width × thickness) were produced for the flexural tests, observing the producers’ recommendations. The resulting 40 resin samples were subjected to mechanical tests using a universal testing machine. Additionally, a fractographic analysis of failed samples in bending was performed. The results showed that the additive manufactured samples exhibited higher elastic moduli (2.4 ± 0.02 GPa and 2.6 ± 0.18 GPa) than the conventional samples (1.3 ± 0.19 GPa and 1.3 ± 0.38 GPa), as well as a higher average bending strength (141 ± 17 MPa and 143 ± 15 MPa) when compared to the conventional samples (88 ± 10 MPa and 76 ± 7 MPa); the results also suggested that the materials were more homogenous when produced via additive manufacturing.

Abstract
Modern structural materials are represented by a variety of polymer materials used for dental patients’ rehabilitation. They differ not only in physico-chemical properties, but also in microbiological properties, which is one of the reasons why these materials are chosen. The study focused on the microbial adhesion of clinical isolates of normal (5 types), periodontopathogenic (2 types), and fungal (2 types) microbiotas to various materials based on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) intended for traditional (cold-cured and hot-cured polymers), computer-aided subtractive and additive manufacturing. A comparative analysis was carried out on the studied samples of polymer materials according to the microorganisms’ adhesion index (AI). The lowest level of microorganisms’ AI of the three types of microbiotas was determined in relation to materials for additive manufacturing. The AI of hot-cured polymers, as well as materials for subtractive manufacturing, corresponded to the average level. The highest level of microorganisms’ adhesion was found in cold-cured polymers. Significant differences in AI for materials of the same technological production type (different manufacturers) were also determined. The tendency of significant differences in the indicators of the microorganisms’ adhesion level for the studied polymer materials on the basis of the type of production technology was determined.

Abstract
Objective Color and optical properties are particularly crucial to mimic natural tooth. This scoping review aimed to present an overview of the literature published on color and optical properties of 3D printing restorative polymer‐based materials. The literature search was performed in MED‐LINE/Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science. Materials and methods The literature search was conducted in the three databases based on the question: “Are the optical properties and color adequately reported on polymer‐based 3D printing dental restorative materials studies?” with no restriction on year of publication. Data were reported and synthesized following PRISMA‐ScR statement. Results Nine studies fit the inclusion criteria. Five studies focused on evaluating only color stability; three articles assessed the color stability along with mechanical and morphological properties and only one study compared color parameters of 3D printed to conventional polymers. Two studies evaluated translucency parameter and no study was found evaluating scattering, absorption, and transmittance. Conclusions Color and optical properties of 3D printed polymers that can be used in restorative dentistry are not adequately evaluated and characterized. Future studies on the influence of experimental printing conditions should include these physical properties to assist on improving esthetics. Clinical significance This review shows the scarce literature existing on color and optical properties of 3D printing restorative polymer‐based materials. These properties and their study are of outmost importance to create materials that mimic natural tooth to allow clinicians to obtain esthetically pleasant restorations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Printed splints may be an alternative as a treatment of functional disorders in addition to physical, manual and physiological therapeutics. The objective is to investigate whether different 3D printed splint materials, which are fabricated with different fabrication orientation and post-processing (washing and post polymerisation) exhibit different in vitro cytotoxicity. MATERIAL AND METHODS 600 discs (n = 25 per group, 5mmx1mm) were printed (P30+ DLP-printer, Straumann, CH; 100 µm layer) from splint materials (M1: Luxaprint OrthoPlus, DMG, G; M2: V-Print Splint, Voco, G). Printing was performed under 90° (A1), 45° (A2) or 0° (A3) alignment to the building platform. Specimens were either automatically washed (W1) (Straumann P Wash, Straumann, CH) or manually cleaned (W2) (Voco Pre-/Main-Clean protocol, Voco, G), and post polymerization was performed (P1: Cure, Straumann, CH; P2: Otoflash N171, Ernst Hinrichs Dental, G). RAW264.7 mouse macrophages were exposed to extracts of the specimens and cytotoxicity was determined as cell survival using a crystal violet assay. Optical density values obtained from exposed cell cultures were normalized to untreated controls (100%), summarized as means and statistically analyzed (ANOVA, α=0.05). RESULTS Cell survival varied between 9.1+/-1.3% (alignment A2/post cure P2/material M2/wash system W2) and 58.5+/-5.9% (alignment A1/post cure P1/material M1/wash system W1). Univariate analysis of variance revealed significant differences between mean values for post cure (p = 0.000), wash system (p = 0.002) and materials (p = 0.000), but not for the alignment (p = 0.406). With standardised washing and adapted post cure, both tested materials provided lowest cytotoxicity even in all three printing alignments. CONCLUSIONS The selection of the material as well as the post-processing (post-polymerization, washing procedure) show influence on the in vitro cytotoxicity. Alignment during manufacturing does not affect toxicity. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Materials, washing and post-polymerization should be matched to reduce cytotoxic effects during additive manufacturing.
