Article Abstract
With the advent of 3D printing technologies in dentistry, the optimization of printing conditions has been of great interest, so this study analyzed the accuracy of 3D-printed temporary restorations of different sizes produced by digital light processing (DLP) and liquid crystal display (LCD) printers. Temporary restorations of 2-unit, 3-unit, 5-unit, 6-unit, and full-arch cases were designed and printed from a DLP printer using NextDent C&B or an LCD printer using Mazic D Temp ( = 10 each). The restorations were scanned, and each restoration standard tessellation language (STL) file was superimposed on the reference STL file, by the alignment functions, to evaluate the trueness through whole/point deviation. In the whole-deviation analysis, the root-mean-square (RMS) values were significantly higher in the 6-unit and full-arch cases for the DLP printer and in the 5-unit, 6-unit, and full-arch cases for the LCD printer. The significant difference between DLP and LCD printers was found in the 5-unit and full-arch cases, where the DLP printer exhibited lower RMS values. Color mapping demonstrated less shrinkage in the DLP printer. In the point deviation analysis, a significant difference in direction was exhibited in all the restorations from the DLP printer but only in some cases from the LCD printer. Within the limitations of this study, 3D printing was most accurate with less deviation and shrinkage when a DLP printer was used for short-unit restorations.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of post-polymerization time and curing device type on the surface roughness, microhardness and color change of 3D printed permanent resin materials.
Materials And Methods: In this study, permanent resin samples with a layer print thickness of 50 μm and dimensions of 10 × 2 mm3 were produced on SLA and DLP printers. The samples were post-polymerized in blue LED and UV LED curing devices for 10, 20, 40 and 60 min.

Introduction: This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) and adhesive remnant index (ARI) of 3-dimensional-printed orthodontic brackets with 3 different base designs and to examine the surface morphologic differences of remaining adhesives using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Methods: Sixty maxillary premolar teeth (n = 20 per group) were randomly allocated into 3 bracket base design groups: (1) custom, (2) macroretentive, and (3) standard. After digital scanning of the teeth, the brackets were printed using a MAX UV DLP 3D printer (Asiga, Sydney, Australia).

Objectives: To investigate the fabrication and fit accuracy of three-unit definitive resin fixed partial dentures (FPDs) manufactured with different vat polymerization technologies, and to compare them with those manufactured subtractively.
Methods: A total of 48 three-unit posterior fixed partial dentures (FPDs) were fabricated either additively from a resin intended for definitive use (VarseoSmile Triniq) with low force display (Form 4B, AM-LFD), digital light processing (Max UV, AM-DLP), and liquid crystal display (SOL, AM-LCD) technologies, or subtractively from high-impact polymer composite (breCAM.HIPC, SM) (n = 12).

Additive manufacturing (3D printing) using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) has emerged as a cost-effective alternative to subtractive milling in restorative dentistry, offering reduced material waste and lower production costs. This study aimed to compare the physical properties, specifically water sorption, water solubility, and surface roughness, of milled and 3D-printed hybrid resin composite materials. Standardized disk-shaped samples were fabricated using a digital workflow.
