Effect of post-processing procedures on the dimensional accuracy and internal gap of additively manufactured definitive implant-supported single crowns: An in vitro study
Objectives
To evaluate the effects of post-processing protocols on the accuracy and internal fit of 3D-printed definitive implant-supported single crowns (ISCs).
Methods
An ISC was digitally designed based on a 3D-printed model with an incorporated one-piece zirconia implant. 120 definitive ISCs were fabricated by additive manufacturing (AM) using a resin-based material. The crowns were divided into 12 experimental groups, and each group was subjected to combinations of post-washing and post-polymerization conditions. Variations included washing solution (96 % isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or pure ethanol), washing equipment (ultrasonic bath or rotary washer), and photopolymerization conditions (air-contact, nitrogen-contact, or low-vacuum). Ten ISCs were fabricated by subtractive manufacturing (SM) as the control group. The root mean square values (RMS) between the design and acquired scan data, and internal gap dimensions were calculated. Statistics involved the Mann-Whitney U test and three-way ANOVA.
Results
Using a rotary washer with IPA led to significantly higher accuracy in external and overall regions. In contrast, post-curing did not significantly affect the RMS of ISCs regardless of the analyzed region. No significant differences in internal gap dimensions were found among the various post-processing strategies. SM crowns demonstrated significantly lower accuracy in the intaglio surfaces and smaller internal gaps than AM ones.
Conclusions
Post-processing strategies affected the printing accuracy of AM ISCs but had no significant influence on internal fit. SM ISCs exhibited smaller internal gaps despite lower dimensional accuracy of the intaglio surface, which may lead to early contact during crown seating, which requires more attention to intaglio adjustments.
Significance
AM can be recommended for producing ISCs, while post-processing protocols should be carefully considered.
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.
