[PMID: 38971459 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2024.105226] [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: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/08/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of surgical guides printed using four different manufacturer workflows. METHODS Forty-eight surgical guides (BlueSky Plan, BlueSky Bio) were produced using four different printers, with strict adherence to each manufacturer's instructions. The printers used were three DLP printers (SolFlex170 (VC), Nextdent5100 (ND), D30+Rapidshape (RS)) and one SLA printer (Formlabs3B+ (FL)). The study evaluated the trueness and precision of the overall surface, the region of interest (RoI) (occlusal and guide zone), the repeatability in several batches, and the guide hole's diameter and xyz axes. The printed guides were digitized and compared with the CAD design control specimen (Control X, Geomagic). Descriptive statistics and Kruskal-Wallis tests with post-hoc Mann-Whitney tests were performed (α=0.05). RESULTS Statistical analysis revealed differences in trueness and precision were found between groups in the overall zone and RoI (p=0.00). The ND group demonstrated the highest repeatability. Only the RS group exhibited a comparable guide hole diameter to the master specimen (5.27±2.12 mm; p=0.104). No statistical differences were observed between groups in the x and z axes. However, in the y-axis, the VC group displayed statistically significant differences (p=0.01). CONCLUSIONS The results showed that the DLP groups had better overall accuracy, while the SLA group had the best results in the RoI. The manufacturer's workflows demonstrated a high reproducibility between batches in the RoI. The RS group had values most similar values to the guide hole diameter of the master specimen, with minimal deviations in guide hole orientation. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Implant position is a crucial factor in the long-term success, and it can be affected by the accuracy of the 3D printed surgical guide. Therefore, it is critical to analyze the final dimensions and the direction of the guide hole using available printing technologies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy in terms of trueness and precision of 3 different liquid crystal display (LCD) printers with different cost levels. METHODS Three LCD 3-dimensional (3D) printers were categorized into tiers 1-3 on the basis of cost level. The printers' accuracies were assessed in terms of trueness and precision. For this research, 10 standard tessellation language (STL) reference files were used. For trueness, each STL file was printed once with each 3D printer. For precision, 1 randomly chosen STL file was printed 10 times with each 3D printer. After that, a model scanner was used to scan the models, and STL comparisons were performed using reverse engineering software. For the measurements regarding trueness and precision, the Friedman test was used. RESULTS There were significant differences among the 3 printers (P <0.05). The trueness and precision error were lower in models printed with a tier-1 printer than in the remaining 3D printers (P <0.05). The tier-2 and -3 printers presented very similar performance. CONCLUSIONS LCD 3D printers can be accurately used in orthodontics for model printing depending on the specific orthodontic use. The cost of a printer is relevant to the results only for the higher expense of the 3D printer in this study.

J Prosthet Dent 2024; 132:269.e1-269.e6. [PMID: 38609765 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2024.03.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The surface topography of metal substrate can affect its bond to porcelain. A neodynium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser has been introduced to modify the metal surface topography and improve porcelain bond strength. However, studies on the effect of laser etching on metal to porcelain bond strength are lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to determine the effect of Nd:YAG laser etching on the surface roughness and wettability of and the porcelain bond strength to cobalt chromium (Co-Cr) substrate fabricated by milling and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS). MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-two 0.5×3×25-mm Co-Cr specimens were fabricated by milling soft Co-Cr (M group) and DMLS Co-Cr metal powder (DML group). The surface topography of representative specimens from each study group was assessed under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and an atomic force microscope (AFM). All specimens were assessed for surface roughness using a contact profilometer, and for wettability with a contact angle goniometer. Half of the specimens of each study group (n=8) were subjected to surface laser etching by using a Nd:YAG laser. The specimens subjected to etching were assessed again for surface topography and wettability. All specimens in both study groups were veneered with porcelain. The porcelain bond strength was tested with a 3-point bend test in a universal testing machine. The results were statistically analyzed with 2-way ANOVA test followed by the post hoc Tukey test for pairwise comparisons (α=.05). RESULTS After etching, the M group had a higher mean ±standard deviation Ra and Rz of 2.9 ±0.6 and 17.7 ±3.2 µm and significantly better wettability and bond strength of 79 ±6 and 52 ±13 MPa. In contrast, after etching, the DMLS group had a significantly lower Ra and Rz of 7.9 ±2.4 and 41.8 ±9.3 µm and significantly lower wettability and bond strength of 87 ±4 and 70 ±10 MPa. The DMLS group had a significantly higher roughness and bond strength than the M group before and after laser etching. The SEM and AFM showed different surface topography in the study groups. CONCLUSIONS The manufacturing process of Co-Cr substrate had a significant effect on surface characteristics and porcelain bond strength. Laser etching improved the surface topography and bond strength of milled Co-Cr but not of DMLS Co-Cr.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of organic additives (binder, plasticizer, and the cross-linking ink) in the formulation of water-based feedstocks on the properties of a dental feldspathic glass-ceramic material developed for the slurry-based additive manufacturing technology "LSD-print." MATERIAL AND METHODS Three water-based feldspathic feedstocks were produced to study the effects of polyvinyl alcohol (AC1) and poly (sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (AC2) as binder systems. A feedstock without organic additives was tested as the control group (CG). Disc-shaped (n = 15) and bar (n = 7) specimens were slip-cast and characterized in the green and fired states. In the green state, density and flexural strength were measured. In the fired state, density, shrinkage, flexural strength (FS), Weibull modulus, fracture toughness (KIC), Martens parameters, and microstructure were analyzed. Disc-shaped and bar specimens were also cut from commercially available CAD/CAM blocks and used as a target reference (TR) for the fired state. RESULTS In the green state, CG showed the highest bulk density but the lowest FS, while the highest FS in the green state was achieved with the addition of a cross-linking ink. After firing, no significant differences in density and a similar microstructure were observed for all slip-cast groups, indicating that almost complete densification could be achieved. The CAD/CAM specimens showed the highest mean FS, Weibull modulus, and KIC, with significant differences between some of the slip-cast groups. SIGNIFICANCE These results suggest that the investigated feedstocks are promising candidates for the slurry-based additive manufacturing of restorations meeting the class 1a requirements according to DIN EN ISO 6871:2019-01.

Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:1714. [PMID: 38932064 PMCID: PMC11207952 DOI: 10.3390/polym16121714] [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: 04/14/2024] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of printing material, build angle, and artificial aging on the accuracy of SLA- and DLP-printed occlusal devices in comparison to each other and to subtractively manufactured devices. A total of 192 occlusal devices were manufactured by one SLA-printing and two DLP-printing methods in 5 different build angles as well as milling. The specimens were scanned and superimposed to their initial CAD data and each other to obtain trueness and precision data values. A second series of scans were performed after the specimens underwent an artificial aging simulation by thermocycling. Again, trueness and precision were investigated, and pre- and post-aging values were compared. A statistically significant influence was found for all main effects: manufacturing method, build angle, and thermocycling, confirmed by two-way ANOVA. Regarding trueness, overall tendency indicated that subtractively manufactured splints were more accurate than the 3D-printed, with mean deviation values around ±0.15 mm, followed by the DLP1 group, with ±0.25 mm at 0 degree build angle. Within the additive manufacturing methods, DLP splints had significantly higher trueness for all build angles compared to SLA, which had the highest mean deviation values, with ±0.32 mm being the truest to the original CAD file. Regarding precision, subtractive manufacturing showed better accuracy than additive manufacturing. The artificial aging demonstrated a significant influence on the dimensional accuracy of only SLA-printed splints.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the flexural strength (FS), surface wear, and optical properties of 3D-printed dental resins subjected to different post-printing conditions. A total of 240 specimens (2 × 2 × 25 mm³) were 3D-printed using resin materials for permanent (VaresoSmile Crown Plus) VSC and temporary (VaresoSmile Temp) VST restorations. Specimens underwent five post-printing conditions: no post-printing cure; post-cured in a Form Cure curing unit; Visio Beta Vacuum; Ivoclar Targis; or heat-cured (150 °C) for 30 min. Each group of specimens (n = 24) was tested either directly after post-curing, after 24 h of dry storage, or following hydrothermal accelerated aging in boiling water for 16 h. The three-point bending test was used to evaluate the FS. The two-body wear test was performed on 50 disc-shaped specimens (n = 5/group). Surface gloss and translucency were measured for permanent VSC specimens (n = 5/group). SEM/EDS and statistical analyses were performed. The Form Cure device yielded the highest FS and lowest wear depth (p < 0.05). Hydrothermal aging significantly reduced FS. There were no statistical differences in FS and wear values between materials subjected to same post-printing conditions. VSC groups exhibited similar optical properties across different post-printing treatments. Post-printing treatment conditions had a significant impact on the FS and wear of the 3D-printed resin, while optical properties remained unaffected.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to conduct a comparison of trueness and physical and surface properties among five distinct types of additive manufactured (AM) zirconia crowns and zirconia crowns produced using the subtractive manufacturing (SM). MATERIAL AND METHODS Zirconia crowns were fabricated using five distinct techniques, each varying in the method of slurry transfer and photocuring source. Each experimental group utilized either one of the four digital light processing (DLP)-based techniques (DLP spreading, DLP spreading gradation, DLP vat and DLP circular spreading) or the stereolithography (SLA)-based technique (SLA spreading). The control (CON) group employed SM. To assess accuracy, trueness was measured between the scan and reference data. To analyze the physical properties, voids were examined using high-energy spiral micro-computed tomography scans, and the crystal structure analysis was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Surface roughness was assessed through laser scanning microscopy. RESULTS Differences in the trueness of internal surfaces of crowns were found among the groups (P < 0.05). Trueness varied across the measurement surfaces (occlusal, lateral, and marginal) in all the groups except for the DLP spreading gradation group (P < 0.05). Voids were observed in all AM groups. All groups showed similar XRD patterns. All AM groups showed significantly greater surface roughness compared to the CON group (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The AM zirconia crowns showed bubbles and a rougher surface compared to the SM crowns. All groups exhibited typical zirconia traits and trueness levels within clinically acceptable limits, suggesting that current zirconia AM techniques could be suitable for dental applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, the antimicrobial activity of three different cleanser tablets on S. mutans and C. albicans adhesion to PMMA, polyamide and 3D printed resin was investigated. METHODS 40 samples were prepared for PMMA (SR Triplex Hot), polyamide (Deflex) and 3D printed resin (PowerResins Denture) materials and divided into four subgroups for cleansers (Aktident™, Protefix™, Corega™ tablets and distilled water) (n = 5). After the surface preparations were completed, the samples were immersed separately in tubes containing the prepared microorganism suspension and incubated at 37˚C for 24 h. After the incubation, the samples were kept in the cleanser solutions. The samples were then transferred to sterile saline tubes. All the tubes were vortexed and 10 µl was taken from each of them. Sheep blood agar was inoculated for colony counting. The inoculated plates were incubated for 48 h for S. mutans and 24 h for C. albicans. After incubation, colonies observed on all plates were counted. Statistical analyses were done with three-way ANOVA and Tukey's multiple comparison test. RESULTS Polyamide material registered the highest colony count of S. mutans, whereas PMMA registered the lowest. Significant differences in S. mutans adherence (p = 0.002) were found between the three denture base materials, but no such difference in C. albicans adherence (p = 0.221) was identified between the specimens. All three cleanser tablets eliminated 98% of S. mutans from all the material groups. In all these groups, as well, the antifungal effect of Corega™ on C. albicans was significantly higher than those of the other two cleanser tablets. CONCLUSIONS According to the study's results, it may be better to pay attention to surface smoothness when using polyamide material to prevent microorganism retention. Cleanser tablets are clinically recommended to help maintain hygiene in removable denture users, especially Corega tablets that are more effective on C. albicans.

Abstract
Maxillofacial defects, arising from trauma, oncological disease or congenital abnormalities, detrimentally affect daily life. Prosthetic repair offers the aesthetic and functional reconstruction with the help of materials mimicking natural tissues. 3D polymer printing enables the design of patient-specific prostheses with high structural complexity, as well as rapid and low-cost fabrication on-demand. However, 3D printing for prosthetics is still in the early stage of development and faces various challenges for widespread use. This is because the most suitable polymers for maxillofacial restoration are soft materials that do not have the required printability, mechanical strength of the printed parts, as well as functionality. This review focuses on the challenges and opportunities of 3D printing techniques for production of polymer maxillofacial prostheses using computer-aided design and modeling software. Review discusses the widely used polymers, as well as their blends and composites, which meet the most important assessment criteria, such as the physicochemical, biological, aesthetic properties and processability in 3D printing. In addition, strategies for improving the polymer properties, such as their printability, mechanical strength, and their ability to print multimaterial and architectural structures are highlighted. The current state of the prosthetic retention system is presented with a focus on actively used polymer adhesives and the recently implemented prosthesis-supporting osseointegrated implants, with an emphasis on their creation from 3D-printed polymers. The successful prosthetics is discussed in terms of the specificity of polymer materials at the restoration site. The approaches and technological prospects are also explored through the examples of the nasal, auricle and ocular prostheses, ranging from prototypes to end-use products.

[PMID: 38797574 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2024.04.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2024] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
This clinical technique describes a method of fabricating a 1-piece computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) printed custom healing abutment. A digital surgical guide and a virtual model based on the proposed implant position were generated. Then, a digitally designed healing abutment was fabricated using the Dental Designer software program. The definitive abutment design was printed from an interim crown resin material. The described method combines the guided implant placement and a 1-piece CAD-CAM printed custom healing abutment to develop appropriate tissue contours.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of in vitro studies. J Prosthet Dent 2024:S0022-3913(24)00283-X. [PMID: 38772783 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2024.04.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Additive (3-dimensional printing) and subtractive (milling) methods are digital approaches to fabricating zirconia restorations. Comparisons of their resultant fabrication accuracy and restoration fit are lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the accuracy and fit of monolithic zirconia crowns fabricated by 3-dimensional printing and milling. MATERIAL AND METHODS The PubMed (Medline), Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar databases were searched up to August 2023. Eligible records were included, and the standardized mean difference (SMD) analyzed 4 outcomes: marginal fit, intaglio fit, trueness, and precision. Publication bias was analyzed with Trim-and-fill, the Egger regression test, and Begg funnel plot. Methodological quality was rated using the QUIN tool. RESULTS A total of 15 publications were found eligible out of the initial 6539 records. The 3-dimensional printing group demonstrated a lower marginal fit (SMD=1.46, 95% CI=[0.67, 2.26], P<.001; I2=83%, P<.001) and trueness (SMD=0.69, 95% CI=[0.20, 1.18], P=.006; I2=88%, P<.001) and a significantly higher precision (SMD=-2.19, 95% CI=[-2.90, -1.48], P<.001; I2=56%, P=.045). The intaglio fit did not differ significantly across the study groups (SMD=0.77, 95% CI=[-0.22, 1.77], P=.127; I2=87%, P<.001). CONCLUSIONS Given the high degree of heterogeneity, it can be cautiously concluded that while 3-dimensional printing led to greater precision, the outcomes of the 2 accuracy and adaptation parameters most crucial to the longevity of the restorations-trueness and marginal fit-showed the superiority of the milling technique.

Bioengineering (Basel) 2024; 11:448. [PMID: 38790315 PMCID: PMC11118100 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering11050448] [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: 03/24/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
AIM This study aimed to compare the torque loss, fracture load, compressive strength, and failure types of selective-laser-sintered cobalt chromium (SLM-Co-Cr), computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing zirconium oxide (CAD-CAM-ZrO), and machined titanium (Ti) implant abutments. METHODS Thirty endosseous dental implants were vertically embedded with machined Ti (control group), CAD-CAM-ZrO, and SLM-Co-Cr abutments. Abutment fabrication involved CAD-CAM milling and SLM technology. The de-torque assessment included preload reverse torque values (RTVs), cyclic loading, and post-RTVs using a customized protocol. Fracture load assessment employed ISO-14801 standards, and statistical analysis was conducted using ANOVA and Tukey Post hoc tests (p < 0.05). RESULTS In pre-load RTVs, SLM-Co-Cr showed the lowest mean torque loss (24.30 ± 2.13), followed by machined Ti (27.33 ± 2.74) and CAD-CAM-ZrO (22.07 ± 2.20). Post-load RTVs decreased for all groups. Fracture load and compressive strength were highest for SLM-Co-Cr, with significant differences among groups (p < 0.001). Fracture types included abutment failures in SLM-Co-Cr and machined Ti, while CAD-CAM-ZrO exhibited crown separation with deformation. CONCLUSION SLM-Co-Cr-fabricated implant abutments exhibited superior stability and resistance to rotational forces, higher fracture loads, and greater compressive strength compared to CAD-CAM-ZrO and machined Ti.

Dimitrova M, Vlahova A, Kazakova R. Assessment of CAD/CAM Fabrication Technologies for Post and Core Restorations-A Narrative Review. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2024; 60:748. [PMID: 38792931 PMCID: PMC11123209 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60050748] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2024] [Revised: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
The primary objective of this study is to conduct a comprehensive review of the existing literature that discusses research on post and core restorations, covering aspects such as their composition, manufacturing methods, and clinical effectiveness. The methodology employed in this review encompasses the implementation of a well-defined search strategy, the establishment of criteria for inclusion and exclusion, and the selection of relevant studies to summarize their findings. To gather relevant literature published between 1993 and 2023, the research team conducted separate searches on PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases. In total, 168 titles were initially retrieved from these electronic databases. By applying the predefined exclusion criteria, the researchers identified 73 articles that specifically address the conventional and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technologies employed in post and core restorations. These treatments are commonly employed to restore teeth that have received endodontic therapy and subsequently experienced loss of dental structure. The development of computerized technology for the creation of customized posts and cores has emerged as a straightforward and efficient alternative to traditional methods. The review synthesizes papers discussing the techniques and materials involved in CAD/CAM-based construction of post and cores. It explores strategies for restoring endodontically treated teeth, highlighting both direct and indirect approaches. Commonly mentioned materials include zirconia, composite resin, and hybrid ceramics. Despite the limited literature on CAD/CAM post and core procedures, the review emphasizes the necessity of further research to assess long-term outcomes and efficacy. Additionally, it suggests including implications for future research and clinical recommendations to enhance the depth and practical relevance of the review.

Abstract
This paper demonstrates a digital manufacturing technique of a removable orthodontic appliance from an intraoral scan. An intraoral scan was made for the maxillary and mandibular arches. 3Shape Orthodontics Appliance Designer produced the virtual Hawley retainer, consisting of alloy components (Adam Clasps and Fitted Labial bow) and a base plate. The base plate design was modified to adapt to inserting the alloy components, which were combined using cold-cured acrylic. The finished Hawley retainer was assessed intraorally. The described technique emphasizes the design specifications of digitally designed and manufactured removable orthodontic appliances. A combination of additive and subtractive techniques was successfully employed to manufacture the alloy components and base plate. This novel method provides an alternative approach to manufacturing removable appliances with computer-aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technologies. The described process offers a precursor to digital manufacturing of other developed designs of dental appliances.

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
This study aims at evaluating the effect of simulating porcelain firing on the microstructure, corrosion behavior and mechanical properties of a Co-Cr-Mo alloy fabricated by Metal Soft Milling (MSM). Two groups of Co-28Cr-5Mo specimens (25 × 20 × 3 mm) were prepared by MSM: The as-sintered (AS) specimens and the post-fired (PF) specimens that were subjected to 5 simulating porcelain firing cycles without applying the ceramic mass onto their surface. Phase identification by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), microstructure examination by optical microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy combined with Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM/EDX), corrosion testing by cyclic polarization and chronoamperometry in simulated body fluid (SBF), the latter test accompanied by Cr3+ and Cr6+ detection in the electrolyte through the 1.5-diphenylcarbazide (DPC) method and UV/visible spectrophotometry, and mechanical testing by micro-/nano-indentation were conducted to evaluate the effect of the post-firing cycles on the properties of Co-Cr-Mo. The results were statistically analyzed by the t test (p < 0.05: statistically significant). All specimens had a mixed γ-fcc and ε-hcp cobalt-based microstructure with a dispersion of pores filled with SiO2 and a fine M23C6 intergranular presence. PF led to an increase in the ε-Co content and slight grain coarsening. Both AS and PF alloys showed high resistance to general and localized corrosion, whereas neither Cr6+ nor Cr3+ were detected during the passivity-breakdown stage. PF improved the mechanical properties of the AS-alloy, especially the indentation modulus and true hardness (statistically significant differences: p = 0.0009 and 0.006, respectively). MSM and MSM/simulating-porcelain firing have been proven trustworthy fabrication methods of Co-Cr-Mo substrates for metal-ceramic prostheses. Moreover, the post-firing cycles improve the mechanical behavior of Co-Cr-Mo, which is vital under the dynamically changing loads in the oral cavity, whereas they do not degrade the corrosion performance.

Abstract
Problem Several types of 3D printers with different techniques and prices are available on the market. However, results in the literature are inconsistent, and there is no comprehensive agreement on the accuracy of 3D printers of different price categories for dental applications. Aim This study aimed to investigate the accuracy of five different 3D printing systems, including a comparison of budget- and higher-end 3D printing systems, according to a standardized production and evaluation protocol. Material and methods A maxillary reference model with prepared teeth was created using 16 half-ball markers with a diameter of 1 mm to facilitate measurements. A reference file was fabricated using five different 3D printers. The printed models were scanned and superimposed onto the original standard tesselation language (.stl) file, and digital measurements were performed to assess the 3-dimensional and linear deviations between the reference and test models. Results After examining the entire surface of the models, we found that 3D printers using Fused filament fabrication (FFF) technology -120.2 (20.3) μm create models with high trueness but high distortion. Distortions along the z-axis were found to be the highest with the stereolithography (SLA)-type 3D printer at -153.7 (38.7) μm. For the 4-unit FPD, we found 201.9 (41.8) μm deviation with the digital light processing (DLP) printer. The largest deviation (-265.1 (55.4) μm) between the second molars was observed for the DLP printer. Between the incisor and the second molar, the best results were produced by the FFF printer with -30.5 (76.7) μm. Conclusion Budget-friendly 3D printers are comparable to professional-grade printers in terms of precision. In general, the cost of a printing system is not a reliable indicator of its level of accuracy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent era, digitalization in the dental sciences has been observed in wide ranges. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess knowledge and practice of additive manufacturing (AM) in dentistry among university teaching faculty in Saudi Arabia. METHODS A questionnaire was prepared and validated to distribute to the different dental colleges in Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire was divided into three parts: demographic information, knowledge and practices of AM among the dental teaching faculty. After receiving all the responses, descriptive statistics were used for the frequency distribution of all the responses. RESULTS A total of 367 responses were received from the different faculty members. Most of the participants were male (67.30%), holding assistant professor (52.50%) positions in the field of prosthodontics (23.40%). In terms of knowledge, even though most of the participants were aware of AM (64.30%); however, do not understand the AM techniques (33.50). Moreover, 71.90% of the participants had no experience working with AM and only 13.60% of participants used AM in their respective dental colleges. CONCLUSION AM techniques are not commonly used in the field of dentistry in Saudi Arabia; therefore, more platforms should have created to enhance the knowledge and practice of AM in the current population.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the design and location of supporting structures on the marginal and internal gap of interim restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS A mandibular right first molar resin tooth was prepared for a full coverage crown and scanned using a laboratory scanner (3Shape D900). The scanned data were converted into standard tessellation language (STL) format and an indirect prosthesis was designed using computer-aided design (CAD) software (exocad DentalCAD). The STL file was used to fabricate a total of 60 crowns with a 3D printer (EnvisionTEC Vida HD). The crowns were printed using E-Dent C&B MH resin and divided into 4 groups based on four different support structure designs, including supports on the occlusal (0° group), buccal and occlusal (45° group), buccal (90° group), and a new design consisting of horizontal bars placed on all surfaces and line angles (Bar) (n = 15). The silicone replica technique was used to determine the gap discrepancy. Fifty measurements were obtained for each specimen to examine the marginal and internal gaps by using a digital microscope (Olympus SZX16) at ×70 magnification. Additionally, the marginal discrepancy at different locations of the tested crowns, including buccal (B), lingual (L), mesial (M), and distal (D), as well as the maximum and minimum marginal gap intervals among groups, were analyzed. The collected data were analyzed using factorial ANOVA, followed by the Tukey HSD test for multiple comparisons (a = 0.05). RESULTS There was a significant difference in marginal and internal gaps among the groups (p < 0.001). The buccal placement supports (90° group) had the least marginal and internal discrepancies (p < 0.001). The new design group showed the highest marginal and internal gap. The marginal discrepancy in different locations of the tested crowns (B, L, M, D) was found to be significantly different among the groups (p < 0.001). The mesial margin of the Bar group had the largest marginal gap, whereas the buccal margin of the 90° group had the lowest marginal gap. The new design had a significantly smaller difference between the maximum and minimum marginal gap intervals than other groups (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The location and design of the supporting structures affected the marginal and internal gaps of an interim crown. The buccal placement of supporting bars (90° printing orientation) showed the smallest mean internal and marginal discrepancies.

Yan S, Zhou JL, Zhang RJ, Tan FB. Evaluation of the influence of different build angles on the surface characteristics, accuracy, and dimensional stability of the complete denture base printed by digital light processing. Heliyon 2024; 10:e24095. [PMID: 38226211 PMCID: PMC10788800 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study aims to investigate the influence of the build angle on the surface characteristics, accuracy, and dimensional stability of digital light processing (DLP) printed resin bases. Material and methods Rectangular and complete denture base samples were fabricated at 0, 45, and 90-degree angles (n = 5 for rectangular samples; n = 10 for maxillary and mandibular denture base samples) using a DLP printer. Surface morphology and roughness were assessed using a profilometer, followed by measuring hydrophilicity with a contact angle meter. Accuracy (trueness and precision) and dimensional stability were evaluated at intervals of 1, 3, 7, 14, 28, and 42 days after base printing using best-fit-alignment and deviation analysis in 3D software. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA for surface characteristics (α = 0.05), multi-way ANOVA for accuracy and dimensional stability data, and Tukey's test for post-hoc comparisons. Results The 0-degree group exhibited significantly lower mean roughness (1.27 ± 0.19 μm) and contact angle (80.50 ± 3.71°) (P < 0.001) compared to the 90-degree and 45-degree groups. The 0-degree build angle led to superior trueness (maxilla: 77.80 ± 9.35 μm, mandible: 61.67 ± 10.32 μm) and precision (maxilla: 27.51 ± 7.43 μm, mandible: 53.50 ± 15.16 μm) compared to other groups (P < 0.001). Maxillary base precision was superior to mandibular base precision (P < 0.001). The maxillary base exhibited less dimensional deviation than the mandibular base. The 90-degree group showed the highest deviation compared to the other two groups, and all groups' deviations increased over time (P < 0.001). Conclusions The build angle significantly influences the surface characteristics, accuracy, and dimensional stability of DLP-printed denture bases. A 0-degree build angle provides the most favorable performance. The maxillary base displayed superior precision and dimensional stability than the mandibular base.

Abstract
This virtual study was designed to evaluate the stress-deformation of a metal fixed partial dentures (FPDs) pontic under different loads using two different connectors. The STL file was generated for a RPD of two implant-supported restorations. The Co-Cr metal substructure was designed with two types of connector design. The pontic is connected to implant-supported crowns with square and round shape connectors. This study was designed for a cementless-retained implant-supported FPD. Finite element modeling (FEM) is used to assess the stress and deformation of the pontic within a metal substructure as the FEM might provide virtual values that could have laboratory and clinical relevance. The Co-Cr alloy mechanical properties like the Poisson ratio and modulus of elasticity were based on the parameters of the three-dimensional structure additive method. Nonparametric analyses (Mann-Whitney U test) was used. The use of square or round connectors often resulted in non-significant changes in stress, and deformation under either three or each loaded point on the occlusal surface of a pontic (P > 0.05). However, the deformation revealed distinct variations between loads of the three points compared to each loaded point (P ≤ 0.05). According to this study data, the pontic occlusal surface appears to be the same in stress and deformation under different loads depending on whether square or round connectors are used. While at the same connector designs, the pontic occlusal surface deformed significantly at three loaded points than it did at each point.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The biocompatibility of 3D-printed dental resins has become a critical concern in modern dentistry due to the increasing utilization of additive manufacturing (AM) techniques in dental applications. These resins serve as essential materials for fabricating dental prostheses, orthodontic devices, and various dental components. As the clinical adoption of 3D printing in dentistry grows, it is imperative to comprehensively assess the biocompatibility of these materials to ensure patient safety and dental treatment efficacy. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the existing body of literature on the biocompatibility of 3D-printed dental resins, thereby providing valuable insights into the potential biological risks associated with their use. METHODS The search strategy to identify relevant papers was implemented across PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and Google Scholar to identify relevant studies. Study selection was not limited to any particular timeframe of publishing. The revised CONSORT criteria were used to ascertain the authenticity and dependability of the review's outcomes. Comprehensive screening and eligibility assessment processes were conducted to select studies meeting predefined criteria. Biocompatibility-related parameters, including toxicity, mechanical properties, cell viability, and other relevant outcomes, were analyzed across selected studies using a standardized variable extraction protocol. RESULTS A total of 9 studies were included in the systematic review. The findings encompassed various aspects of biocompatibility assessment, including material composition, mechanical properties, cell viability, and cytotoxicity. Some studies revealed significant improvements in flexural strength and cell viability with specific resin formulations, demonstrating their potential for enhanced clinical utility. Conversely, certain resins exhibited cytotoxicity, while others displayed promising biocompatibility profiles. CONCLUSION As per the assessed findings, material composition, post-processing techniques, and manufacturing methods emerged as critical factors influencing biocompatibility outcomes. While some resins exhibited favorable biocompatibility profiles, others raised concerns due to cytotoxicity. These findings emphasize the need for careful consideration when selecting and implementing 3D-printed dental resins, with a focus on materials engineering and comprehensive biocompatibility testing. Further research is warranted to elucidate the long-term biocompatibility and clinical implications of these materials.

Alrabeah GO. Effect of Surface Textures and Fabrication Methods on Shear Bond Strength Between Titanium Framework and Auto-Polymerizing Acrylic Repair Resin. Cureus 2023; 15:e48883. [PMID: 38024043 PMCID: PMC10652233 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.48883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of airborne particle abrasion (using different sizes of alumina particles) on the shear bond strength (SBS) between cast and milled titanium metal frameworks and auto-polymerizing acrylic repair resin. Forty flat cylindrical titanium disks were divided into two main divisions: cast and milled titanium. The two divisions were further subdivided into four groups based on metal surface treatment. Three particle sizes of aluminum oxide air abrasive powders (50µm, 110µm, and 250µm) were used for metal surface treatment by airborne particle abrasion. One group was the control group with no surface treatment. Auto-polymerizing acrylic repair resin was applied to all titanium disks. The specimens were subjected to SBS testing using a universal testing machine (Instron Corporation, Norwood, Massachusetts, United States). Surface evaluation was performed using a scanning electron microscope. One-way ANOVA was used for statistical analysis. The results showed a significant increase in SBS after airborne particle abrasion of both milled and cast titanium groups (p<0.001). The SBS was directly proportional to the size of the aluminum oxide particles. The milled titanium group showed higher SBS values than the cast group when the surface was not treated with alumina particles (p < 0.001) and when the surface was treated with the smaller particle sizes of 50 µm, whereas the cast group demonstrated higher SBS values than the milled group (p < 0.01) when the particle size was increased to 110 µm and 250 µm. It could be concluded that SBS between titanium metal frameworks and auto-polymerizing repair acrylic resin was directly related to the size of the alumina airborne particle abrasives. The fabrication method of the titanium framework also influenced the SBS as the untreated milled frameworks demonstrated favorable SBS values compared to the untreated cast frameworks.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Conventional analog methods have been replaced with digital methods for removable partial denture (RPD) frameworks. However, limited information is available regarding the build direction of RPD frameworks and its effect on properties. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the mechanical and surface properties of the cobalt chromium (Co-Cr) alloy produced at different build angles by the laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing (AM) technology used for RPD framework fabrication. MATERIAL AND METHODS Plate-shaped Co-Cr specimens (n=6) were produced by the AM technology and divided into 3 groups depending on the build angle (0, 45, or 90 degrees). The elastic modulus and fracture properties were evaluated by flexural testing. Additionally, 15 disks were printed by using the same parameters of the plates (n=5) to analyze the surface hardness with microhardness testing, and surface properties were determined by surface free energy by using the contact angle and surface roughness measured by using a profilometer. Twelve Co-Cr cylindrical specimens were produced by using the same parameters (n=4), and their microstructure was examined by using an optical microscope. One-way ANOVA was used to evaluate the overall effects of the interaction between groups, and the Tukey test was applied when the interaction was statistically significant (α=.05). RESULTS The flexural strength showed a statistically significant difference (P<.05), with the peak value exhibited by the 0-degree group. A statistical difference was also observed between the angulation and modulus of elasticity; however, the highest value was exhibited by the 45-degree group. For the fracture topography, all groups observed a dimple-like fracture, although the 45-degree group showed wider cleavage planes of fractures than other angulations. For microhardness, the 0- and 45-degree groups exhibited a statistical difference in relation to the 90-degree group (P<.05). For surface properties, no statistically significant difference (P>.05) was found in any of the evaluated parameters. Dependence on the build angles was evidenced by the molten pool boundaries during observation of the microstructure. CONCLUSIONS The build angle influenced the flexural strength and microhardness of the Co-Cr alloy produced by AM; however, it does not affect surface free energy and surface roughness.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Studies on the impact of denture cleansers on the physical and mechanical properties of denture bases designed and constructed by using computer software programs are lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to test the effect of a peroxide denture cleanser on the hardness, fracture toughness, water sorption, and solubility of denture base materials manufactured by 3D printing and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) milling. MATERIAL AND METHODS The hardness, fracture toughness, water solubility, and sorption of CAD-CAM milled and 3D printed groups (n=40) were evaluated before and after exposure to a denture cleanser. Hardness (n=10) was analyzed with a Vickers hardness testing machine, and fracture toughness (n=20) with the 3-point bend test. After the fracture of specimens, a scanning electron microscope at ×300 was used for fractographic analysis. Water sorption and solubility (n=10) were evaluated before and after immersion in denture cleanser for 6 days to simulate 180 days of immersion. Two-way repeated ANOVA and 2-way ANOVA were used to test normally distributed data, whereas the Mann Whitney U test and Wilcoxon signed ranks test were used for data that were not normally distributed (α<.05). RESULTS The Vickers hardness and fracture toughness of both materials decreased after immersion in denture cleansers, with a higher decrease in values for the 3D printed group (P<.001). The denture cleanser had no effect on the water sorption and solubility of either group. CONCLUSIONS Milled specimens had higher hardness values and fracture toughness before and after immersion in the denture cleanser. Denture cleansers resulted in the reduced hardness and fracture toughness of both groups, but the percentage change in the milled group was lower. Denture cleansers had no effect on water sorption or solubility.

Abstract
Aim and objective The present case report comprehensively illustrates the use of a novel digital three-dimensional (3D) printed band and loop space maintainer [computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM)] for the guidance of eruption with their distinctive attribute of reduced chairside time in a home-schooled autistic child. Background Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a promising and emerging technology in the arena of dentistry based on CAD/CAM. It has led to the production of customized 3D objects or patient-specific prostheses with accurate results achieved in a time-saving manner. 3D printing has been employed in several latitudes of dentistry; however, the applications are few in the field of pediatric dentistry. Case description The paper describes the space management of an autistic child for the missing mandibular left primary second molar through the novel technique of 3D printed band and loop space maintainer. Clinical significance The novel technique has definite advantages, including high precision, accuracy, fast production, and reduced patient exposure to dentists and vice versa, which has been the need of the hour since the advent of the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Conclusion Three-dimensional (3D) printing minimizes dental aerosol-generated exposure by decreasing chairside procedural time and minimizing procedural sitting. The cost-benefit analysis, as applied to the Indian scenario, has also been computed, which makes it equally acceptable. Moreover, 3D printing reduces material waste production, offering a greener and environmentally friendly option in the coming years. The future of pediatric dentistry will evolve with signs of progress in the latest materials and technologies. How to cite this article Yangdol P, Kalra N, Tyagi R, et al.

[PMID: 37959436 PMCID: PMC10649743 DOI: 10.3390/ma16216839] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023]
Abstract
The wear of enamel and crown restorative materials often occur by occlusion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the wear volume between glass-ceramics used for CAD/CAM blocks (lithium disilicate: Initial LiSi block (LIS), IPS e.max CAD (IPS), zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate glass-ceramics: Celtra DUO (DUO), VITA Suprinity (VITS) and feldspar-based glass-ceramics: Vitablocs Mark II (MAK)) and bovine tooth enamel using a two-body wear test, the hardness, three-point bending strength, micro-structure and the element components of glass-ceramics. The data were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's multiple comparison test (α = 0.05). IPS and DUO with relatively large size crystal gain had significantly larger abrader wear volumes. Zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate glass-ceramics (DUO, VITS) caused significantly greater wear volume in antagonist enamel. MAK with scale-shape crystals grains produced distinct scratches after wear tests, both in the material itself and in the enamel. A strong correlation between the mechanical properties (hardness, three-point bending strength) and wear volume could not be confirmed. The type of glass-ceramic, size, and shape of the crystal grains affected the wear behavior of the glass-ceramics for CAD/CAM blocks. Therefore, dentists should consider that wear behavior varies with crystal structure, size, and shape in glass-ceramics for CAD/CAM blocks.

Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer with an elastic modulus close to that of the jawbone. PEEK has the potential to become a new dental implant material for special patients due to its radiolucency, chemical stability, color similarity to teeth, and low allergy rate. However, the aromatic main chain and lack of surface charge and chemical functional groups make PEEK hydrophobic and biologically inert, which hinders subsequent protein adsorption and osteoblast adhesion and differentiation. This will be detrimental to the deposition and mineralization of apatite on the surface of PEEK and limit its clinical application. Researchers have explored different modification methods to effectively improve the biomechanical, antibacterial, immunomodulatory, angiogenic, antioxidative, osteogenic and anti-osteoclastogenic, and soft tissue adhesion properties. This review comprehensively summarizes the latest research progress in material property advantages, three-dimensional printing synthesis, and functional modification of PEEK in the fields of implant dentistry and provides solutions for existing difficulties. We confirm the broad prospects of PEEK as a dental implant material to promote the clinical conversion of PEEK-based dental implants.

Abstract
Acid attack is a form of violent assault involving the act of throwing acid or any corrosive substance such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and hydrochloric acid with the intention to disfigure, maim, torture, or kill. A combination of surgical intervention along with prosthetic management using maxillofacial prosthesis serves a good treatment modality for rehabilitation in such cases. The advent of technological advancements has made the rehabilitation procedure easier, faster, and comfortable both for the patient and prosthodontist.

J Prosthet Dent 2023; 130:613.e1-613.e8. [PMID: 37633729 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2023.07.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2023] [Revised: 07/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 08/28/2023]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The build angle is an essential parameter in additive manufacturing. Its effect on the dimensional accuracy of zirconia restorations fabricated using the nanoparticle jetting (NPJ) technique is unknown. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of the build angle on the dimensional accuracy of monolithic zirconia complete crowns fabricated by using NPJ. MATERIAL AND METHODS Standardized artificial right maxillary incisors and mandibular first molars were prepared for ceramic complete crowns. In total, 100 monolithic zirconia crowns were fabricated using NPJ at build angles of 0, 45, 90, 135, and 180 degrees (n=10/angle for incisors and molars). The dimensional accuracies in the external, marginal, and intaglio regions were determined by superimposing the scanned data and computer-aided design data on the crowns. Root mean square (RMS) values were used to analyze the accuracy of the zirconia crowns overall and at the external, marginal, and intaglio surfaces. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to examine the normality of data distribution. Differences among test groups were assessed using a 1-way analysis of variance and the post hoc least significant difference test (α=.05). RESULTS Significant differences were found in the accuracy of monolithic zirconia incisor and molar complete crowns in the external, marginal, and intaglio regions among the 5 build angles (P<.05). For incisors, the external RMS value was lowest for a build angle of 45 degrees (18.2 ±3.0 µm), the marginal and intaglio RMS values were lowest for a build angle of 135 degrees (47.4 ±10.7 and 26.5 ±6.1 µm, respectively), and the overall RMS values did not differ significantly among the 5 build angles (P>.05). For molars, build angles of 0 degrees and 180 degrees yielded the lowest RMS values overall (22.3 ±1.5 and 21.8 ±3.2 µm, respectively) and in the external (23.2 ±2.9 and 22.3 ±2.5 µm, respectively) and intaglio (22.2 ±3.7 and 21.2 ±4.6 µm, respectively) regions. No significant difference was observed in the marginal area among the 5 build angles (P>.05). The overall RMS values reflecting dimensional accuracy for the 5 build angles were between 23.5 and 26.7 µm for incisors and 21.8 and 26.2 µm for molars. CONCLUSIONS The dimensional accuracy of monolithic zirconia crowns fabricated by using NPJ was affected by the build angle and was within clinically acceptable limits.

Access Cavity Preparation and Localization of Root Canals Using Guides in 3D-Printed Teeth with Calcified Root Canals: An In Vitro CBCT Study. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:2215. [PMID: 37443609 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13132215] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Pulp canal obliteration (PCO) is a significant complication in endodontics that can occur due to various factors. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a useful diagnostic tool for identifying root canal anatomy and variations, and guided endodontics is emerging as an alternative treatment solution for teeth with partially or entirely obliterated pulpal canals. However, the accuracy of CBCT-guided 3D-printed guides on different materials and layer thicknesses is not well understood. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of guides prepared using CBCT images on 3D-printed teeth with stereolithography (SLA) using three different materials and two different layer thicknesses. This study found that 3D-printed guides were accurate and reliable for accessing 3D-manufactured obliterated teeth and reaching the apical area. No significant differences in distance or angle measurements were found when different guide materials were used, suggesting that materials can be selected based on availability and cost. These findings contribute to the knowledge base regarding the effectiveness of 3D printing technology in guided endodontics and can help to identify the most suitable materials and techniques for this application.

Abstract
Titanium is considered to be a biocompatible material and is used to a great extent in the pharmaceutical and oral implantology fields. While initially, specialists considered that its use does not cause adverse effects on the human body, as time has gone by, it has become clear that its use can lead to the development of certain diseases. The objective of this study was to identify the way in which digital technologies have the capacity to facilitate information regarding the potential long-term harm caused by titanium device toxicity during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, a regression model was developed to identify how a series of independent variables have the ability to influence the dependent variable (respondents' perceptions of how new web technologies have the ability to help future physicians to facilitate information absorption with regard to potential titanium toxicity). The results illustrated that new technologies have the potential to support both the learning process on this topic and the innovation activity by discovering new solutions that will gradually lead to the reduction of the side effects of titanium used in the pharmaceutical and oral implantology fields.

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.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the mechanical and biocompatibility properties of dental resin reinforced with different nanoparticle additives. Temporary crown specimens were 3D-printed and grouped based on nanoparticle type and amount, including zirconia and glass silica. Flexural strength testing evaluated the material's ability to withstand mechanical stress using a three-point bending test. Biocompatibility was tested using MTT and dead/live cell assays to assess effects on cell viability and tissue integration. Fractured specimens were analysed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) for fracture surface examination and elemental composition determination. Results show that adding 5% glass fillers and 10-20% zirconia nanoparticles significantly improves the flexural strength and biocompatibility of the resin material. Specifically, the addition of 10%, 20% zirconia, and 5% glass silica by weight significantly increases the flexural strength of the 3D-printed resins. Biocompatibility testing reveals cell viabilities greater than 80% in all tested groups. Reinforced 3D-printed resin holds clinical potential for restorative dentistry, as zirconia and glass fillers have been shown to enhance mechanical and biocompatibility properties of dental resin, making it a promising option for dental restorations. The findings of this study may contribute to the development of more effective and durable dental materials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study aims to evaluate the wear surface using 3D surface roughness and other material characterization of zirconia fabricated using photopolymerization based Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM). METHOD LCM technology was used to fabricate zirconia specimens of size 10 × 10 × 2mm3. Scanning Electron Microscope, 3D-profilometer, X-ray Diffraction, and hardness test characterized the samples before and after wear and Coefficient of friction (COF) was monitored. RESULT The COF was around 0.7 and did not differ much between the horizontally and vertically printed specimens. However, the surface roughness after wear for horizontally printed specimen was 0.567 ± 0.139 μm, while that for vertically printed specimen was 0.379 ± 0.080 μm. The reduced valley depth and the dale void volume were low for the vertically printed zirconia specimen, indicating lesser voids and low fluid retention. In addition, it was observed that the hardness value of the vertically printed sample was better. The scanning electron microscopic images and 3D surface profiles of the zirconia specimens depicted the surface topography and revealed the wear track. CONCLUSION The study shows that zirconia fabricated using LCM technology possesses surface roughness of about 0.5 μm with no machining scars that are usually associated with CAD/CAM dentistry and also indicating agreement with clinically acceptable values for minimal surface roughness of dental restorations. Dental restorations using LCM fabricated zirconia redues the requirement of post-processing work flow that is part of CAD/CAM dentistry.

Abstract
Poly(aryl-ether-ketone) materials (PAEKs), a class of high-performance polymers comprised of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and polyetherketoneketone (PEKK), have attracted interest in standard dental procedures due to their inherent characteristics in terms of mechanical and biological properties. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a restorative dental material widely used for prosthetic frameworks due to its superior physical, mechanical, aesthetic, and handling features. Meanwhile, polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic embraced in the additive manufacturing market. In the present review study, a new way to fabricate high-performance polymers, particularly PEEK and PEKK, is demonstrated using additive manufacturing digital dental technology, or 3-dimensional (3D) printing. The focus in this literature review will encompass an investigation of the chemical, mechanical, and biological properties of HPPs, particularly PEEK and PEKK, along with their application particularly in dentistry. High-performance polymers have gained popularity in denture prosthesis in advance dentistry due to their flexibility in terms of manufacturing and the growing interest in utilizing additive manufacturing in denture fabrication. Further, this review also explores the literature regarding the properties of high-performance polymers (HPP) compared to previous reported polymers in terms of the dental material along with the current advancement of the digital designing and manufacturing.

In contrast with conventional manufacturing (CM), AM allows the development of a product from a smaller amount of raw material, while allowing an improvement in properties in terms of weight and functionality. Its production flexibility and creativity in terms of materials have enabled not only the industry to use this technology, but also has been used in healthcare (e.g., in the production of human tissue) and by the final consumer. Despite the invaluable opportunities that this technology could provide, the uncertainties concerning its future developments and impacts on business models remain. New business models in AM will convey the need to: specialize the workforce in the design of new parts produced locally or remotely; regulation in the use and sharing of intellectual property rights by partner companies or between users; regulate the possibility of reverse engineering of highly customized products; etc. The present research proposes a conceptual maturity model to support the phases of evolution of AM in the industry, in supply chains, and in terms of open business models.

Abstract
Objective The purpose of this systematic review is to describe developments in three-dimensional (3D) cell printing in the formation of dental pulp tissue using polyester as a scaffold to revitalize the damaged dental pulp tissue. Materials and methods A literature search for all the data published in PubMed and Google Scholar from January 2000 to April 2022 was conducted. Articles with the keywords 3D cell printing, scaffolds, polyester, dental pulp, and dentistry were used. Inclusion criteria consisted of any publication in electronic or print media directly studying or commenting on the use of polyester scaffolds in 3D cell printing technology in the regeneration of dental pulp. A total of 528 articles were selected, of which 27 duplicates and 286 irrelevant articles were discarded. A total of 215 articles were finally included in the systematic review. Result and conclusion For dental pulp regeneration, several scaffolds have been discovered to be appealing. Polylactic acid (PLA), polyglycolic acid (PGA), and their copolymers are nontoxic and biocompatible synthetic polyesters that degrade by hydrolysis and have received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for a variety of applications. This review paper is intended to spark new ideas for using a certain scaffold in a specific regenerative approach to produce the desired pulp-dentin complex.

[PMID: 37031885 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2023.104514] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2023] Open
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.

Abstract
This retrospective study assessed outcomes and complications related to implants and prostheses in edentulous patients treated with soft-milled cobalt-chromium-ceramic full-arch screw-retained implant-supported prostheses (SCCSIPs). After the final prosthesis was delivered, patients participated in an annual dental check-up program, including clinical and radiographic assessments. Outcomes of implants and prostheses were evaluated, and biological and technical complications were categorized as major or minor. Implant and prosthesis cumulative survival rates were assessed using the life table analysis. A total of twenty-five participants (mean age 63.6 ± 7.3 years) with 33 SCCSIPs were observed for a mean of 68.9 ± 27.9 months (range 1–10 years). A total of 7 out of 245 implants were lost, with no effect on prosthesis survival, leading to cumulative survival rates of 97.1% for implants and 100% for prostheses. The most recurrent minor and major biological complications were soft tissue recession (9%) and late implant failure (2.8%). Among 25 technical complications, porcelain fracture was the only major technical complication, requiring prosthesis removal (1%). Porcelain chipping was the most frequent minor technical complication, affecting 21 crowns (5.4%), which required polishing only. At the end of the follow-up, 69.7% of the prostheses were free of technical complications. Within the limitations of this study, SCCSIP showed promising clinical performance after 1–10 years.

J Prosthet Dent 2023; 129:440-446. [PMID: 34294420 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2021.06.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2021] [Revised: 06/09/2021] [Accepted: 06/09/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The lack of passive fit in implant-supported restorations can lead to mechanical and biological complications and compromise the longevity of the prosthesis. The manufacturing technique and evaluation site are factors that may affect the passive fit of multiunit screw-retained implant frameworks. However, scientific information regarding this issue is lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of manufacturing technique and evaluation site on the passive fit of multiunit screw-retained implant frameworks. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two multiunit implant analogs were placed into the right second premolar and second molar sites of a mandibular typodont model. A total of 50 3-unit Co-Cr frameworks were fabricated with 3 indirect (conventional technique, polymethyl methacrylate milling, stereolithography) and 2 direct techniques (selective laser melting and soft alloy milling). The patterns obtained by indirect techniques were subsequently cast. The Sheffield test was used for the assessment. Digital images of the sites were obtained by using a stereomicroscope at ×40 magnification, and the measurement points (n=10 for each site) were examined to record the vertical marginal discrepancy values (μm) with the aid of a measuring software program. The collected data were subjected to the 2-way ANOVA and Tukey honestly significant difference test (α=.05). RESULTS The influence of the manufacturing technique (variable 1) on the vertical marginal discrepancy values was statistically significant (P<.001). However, the evaluation site (variable 2) (P=.097) and the interaction of the variables (P=.960) were not statistically significant. The lowest misfit values were observed for selective laser melting (74.2 ±20.5 μm) followed by stereolithography (92.8 ±23.9 μm), soft alloy milling (108.4 ±12.0 μm), polymethyl methacrylate milling (116.7 ±17.0 μm), and conventional technique (137.5 ±18.9 μm). The vertical marginal discrepancy values of the selective laser melting group were significantly lower than those of all other groups (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS The manufacturing technique significantly affected the passive fit. selective laser melting-fabricated frameworks demonstrated superior fitting accuracy. Among the indirect techniques, stereolithography-fabricated frameworks revealed the lowest misfit values. The vertical marginal discrepancy values of all manufacturing groups were within the range of clinical acceptability (<150 μm).

The Effect of a Digital Manufacturing Technique, Preparation Taper, and Finish Line Design on the Marginal Fit of Temporary Molar Crowns: An In-Vitro Study. Biomedicines 2023; 11:biomedicines11020570. [PMID: 36831106 PMCID: PMC9953521 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11020570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2023] [Revised: 02/09/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the combined effect of a digital manufacturing technique (subtractive vs. additive), preparation taper (10° vs. 20° TOC), and finish line (chamfer vs. shoulder) on the marginal adaptation of temporary crowns following cementation with a compatible temporary cement. Four mandibular first molar typodont teeth were prepared for full coverage crowns with standard 4 mm preparation height as follows: 10° TOC with the chamfer finish line, 10° TOC with the shoulder finish line, 20° TOC with the chamfer finish line and 20° TOC with the shoulder finish line. Each of the four preparation designs were subdivided into two subgroups to receive CAD/CAM milled and 3D-printed crowns (n = 10). A total of 80 temporary crowns (40 CAD/CAM milled and 40 3D-printed) were cemented to their respective die using clear temporary recement in the standard cementation technique. The samples were examined under a stereomicroscope at ×100 magnification following calibration. Linear measurements were performed at seven equidistant points on each axial surface and five equidistant points on each proximal surface. One-way ANOVA analysis and Tukey HSD (Honestly Significance Difference) were performed. The best marginal fit was seen in group 8, while the poorest fit was noted in group 2. Shoulder finish lines and 10° TOC resulted in higher marginal gaps, especially in CAD/CAM milled group. The selection of 3D-printed crowns may provide a better marginal fit within the range of clinical acceptability. Marginal gaps were within clinical acceptability (50 and 120 µm) in all groups except group 2.

Abstract
Revolutionary fabrication technologies such as three-dimensional (3D) printing to develop dental structures are expected to replace traditional methods due to their ability to establish constructs with the required mechanical properties and detailed structures. Three-dimensional printing, as an additive manufacturing approach, has the potential to rapidly fabricate complex dental prostheses by employing a bottom-up strategy in a layer-by-layer fashion. This new technology allows dentists to extend their degree of freedom in selecting, creating, and performing the required treatments. Three-dimensional printing has been narrowly employed in the fabrication of various kinds of prostheses and implants. There is still an on-demand production procedure that offers a reasonable method with superior efficiency to engineer multifaceted dental constructs. This review article aims to cover the most recent applications of 3D printing techniques in the manufacturing of dental prosthetics. More specifically, after describing various 3D printing techniques and their advantages/disadvantages, the applications of 3D printing in dental prostheses are elaborated in various examples in the literature. Different 3D printing techniques have the capability to use different materials, including thermoplastic polymers, ceramics, and metals with distinctive suitability for dental applications, which are discussed in this article. The relevant limitations and challenges that currently limit the efficacy of 3D printing in this field are also reviewed. This review article has employed five major scientific databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and Scopus, with appropriate keywords to find the most relevant literature in the subject of dental prostheses 3D printing.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the influence of height and length variations of alumina ceramics manufactured by stereolithography on deformations caused by the manufacturing process and on the 3D shrinkage ratio to control the final dimensions and improve the adaptation of stereolithographic ceramic dental prostheses. Two different U-shaped models were designed with variable heights or lengths. The specimens were manufactured by stereolithography and were scanned using a microtomographic device before and after the heat treatment. Dimensional variations were measured using inspection software. The number and surface of layers of alumina ceramic influenced the reliability of the stereolithography manufacturing but did not influence the 3D shrinkage ratio. The larger the layer surface, the larger the deformation of the ceramic. Dental ceramics manufactured by stereolithography with smallest layer surface are the most reliable. This helps in the selection of the build orientation.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies can enable the direct fabrication of customized physical objects with complex shapes, based on computer-aided design models. This technology is changing the digital manufacturing industry and has become a subject of considerable interest in digital implant dentistry. Personalized dentistry implant treatments for individual patients can be achieved through Additive manufacturing. Herein, we review the applications of Additive manufacturing technologies in oral implantology, including implant surgery, and implant and restoration products, such as surgical guides for implantation, custom titanium meshes for bone augmentation, personalized or non-personalized dental implants, custom trays, implant casts, and implant-support frameworks, among others. In addition, this review also focuses on Additive manufacturing technologies commonly used in oral implantology. Stereolithography, digital light processing, and fused deposition modeling are often used to construct surgical guides and implant casts, whereas direct metal laser sintering, selective laser melting, and electron beam melting can be applied to fabricate dental implants, personalized titanium meshes, and denture frameworks. Moreover, it is sometimes required to combine Additive manufacturing technology with milling and other cutting and finishing techniques to ensure that the product is suitable for its final application.
