Abstract
Objectives
To evaluate the influence of preparation design, build orientation and interaction between these two factors on the accuracy of veneers 3D printed using tilted stereolithography technology (TSLA).
Methods
Three maxillary central incisor typodont models were prepared to receive a full veneer preparation with three finish line designs: Cl I; labial reduction, Cl II; labial with butt joint incisal reduction and Cl III; labial and incisal overlap design then digitized to design the restorations which were 3D-printed using ceramic filled composite material (Dfab; DWS)(IrixMax monochrome A2; DWS)(N = 90). In each group, three subgroups were defined based on the build orientation (N = 10): 90°, 75° and 45° angles. Accuracy was evaluated using metrology software. Two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test was used to detect the differences between the groups (α=0.05).
Results
Two-way ANOVA revealed a statistically significant interaction between different build angles and preparation design on RMSE trueness values (P = .003) and RMSE precision values (P = .001) Tukey post hoc test revealed that Cl II design had significantly lower RMSE values compared to both Cl I and Cl III designs (P<.001). 45° angle revealed significantly higher RMSE values compared to 75° and 90° build angles with P values .017 and .009 respectively.
Conclusions
Both preparation design and build orientation have an influence on the accuracy of TSLA printed laminate veneers. Butt-joint preparation design exhibited highest trueness compared to both window and incisal wrap designs. Among all finish line designs, 45° build angle exhibited the most significant deviation values and is not recommended for printing veneers using TSLA technology.
Clinical Significance
The preparation design that best fits a given clinical situation should be selected. The print angle that yields the highest accuracy relative to the clinically selected and executed tooth preparation design should be chosen. With different veneer preparation designs, 45° build angle provides the highest deviation values with chairside TSLA printers and should be avoided when printing resin-based, monochromatic laminate veneers.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Dentistry has an open access mirror journal The Journal of Dentistry: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The Journal of Dentistry is the leading international dental journal within the field of Restorative Dentistry. Placing an emphasis on publishing novel and high-quality research papers, the Journal aims to influence the practice of dentistry at clinician, research, industry and policy-maker level on an international basis.
Topics covered include the management of dental disease, periodontology, endodontology, operative dentistry, fixed and removable prosthodontics, dental biomaterials science, long-term clinical trials including epidemiology and oral health, technology transfer of new scientific instrumentation or procedures, as well as clinically relevant oral biology and translational research.
The Journal of Dentistry will publish original scientific research papers including short communications. It is also interested in publishing review articles and leaders in themed areas which will be linked to new scientific research. Conference proceedings are also welcome and expressions of interest should be communicated to the Editor.
