Accuracy of CAD/CAM-based subtractive versus digital light processing fabricated mono-block splints for TMD management: An in vitro study
Objectives
A newly designed Mono-Block (MB) splint has demonstrated promising clinical potential for treating temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The accuracy of MB splint fabrication is critical to the effectiveness of TMD treatment; however, it remains insufficiently defined. This study aimed to investigate the impact of subtractive manufacturing (SM) and additive manufacturing (AM) technologies on the trueness and precision of MB splints.
Methods
Splint samples were fabricated using a representative AM technique (digital light processing, DLP) and an SM method (milling). Following fabrication, all samples were scanned and analyzed using 3D inspection software. Root mean square (RMS) values were measured to assess trueness and precision, and color maps were generated to detect deviations. Statistical analyses were conducted using Mann-Whitney U tests and unpaired t-tests.
Results
SM splints exhibited significantly higher trueness than AM splints in the maxillary and mandibular marginal areas and the mandibular intaglio surface (p<0.0001). No significant difference was observed in the maxillary intaglio surface (p=0.143). Regarding precision, SM splints demonstrated greater precision in the mandibular marginal area (p<0.0001), while AM splints exhibited higher precision in the maxillary marginal area (p=0.004). No significant differences in precision were found for the maxillary (p=0.876) and mandibular (p=0.311) intaglio surfaces.
Conclusion
The manufacturing method significantly influenced MB splint accuracy. SM splints exhibited superior trueness, while both fabrication methods demonstrated comparable precision. Accuracy was greater in the mandibular section and the intaglio surface compared to other areas.
Clinical significance
All splints produced by SM or AM manufacturing methods meet the clinical requirements. However, regarding accuracy, SM splints appear to be the preferred choice.
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.
