However, limited evidence exists on how emerging three-dimensional printing technologies, particularly masked stereolithography (MSLA), affect polymerization efficiency compared to established methods. This study investigated the DC of a photopolymer-based occlusal splint resin fabricated using stereolithography (SLA) and MSLA technologies, compared to a conventional heat-polymerized acrylic resin. DC was assessed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) at three stages for printed specimens: the unpolymerized resin, after printing and washing (DC Print), and after post-curing (final DC). The difference between DC Print and final DC (ΔDC) represented the contribution of the post-curing step. Conventional specimens were evaluated after mixing and after polymerization. The final DC of the conventional group was significantly higher than both SLA and MSLA groups (<i>p</i> < 0.001), although SLA and MSLA did not differ significantly (<i>p</i> > 0.05). Post-curing significantly enhanced polymerization in both printed groups. MSLA printing achieved comparable DC to SLA while reducing production time. These findings support MSLA as a promising and time-efficient method for splint fabrication, though further improvements in resin formulation and post-curing protocols are warranted to match the polymerization efficiency of conventional heat-polymerized acrylics.</p>","PeriodicalId":18151,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Materials and Engineering","volume":"310 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mame.202500185","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144869268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
