Thermo-flexible resin for the 3D printing of occlusal splints: A randomized pilot trial

Christopher Herpel et al.

Summary: This study compared the clinical performance of occlusal splints printed from thermo-flexible resin with milled splints. The results showed that printed and milled splints performed similarly in terms of patient satisfaction, complication rates and wear behavior. This study provides evidence that thermo-flexible material is a viable alternative to milled splints for at least three months of clinical use.

Two-body wear and surface hardness of occlusal splint materials

Mona Gibreel et al.

Summary: This in vitro study evaluated the wear and surface hardness of different materials used in the manufacturing of occlusal splints and found that PMMA-based materials displayed the best performance. Flexible 3D-printed and CAD/CAM milled polycarbonate-based materials had lower surface hardness and higher wear.

Two-body wear of occlusal splint materials from subtractive computer-aided manufacturing and three-dimensional printing

Felix Schmeiser et al.

Summary: This study compared the two-body wear of occlusal splint materials fabricated from subtractive computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and three-dimensional printing (3DP). The results showed that there was no significant difference in two-body wear between the materials fabricated using the two methods. However, the materials fabricated using 3DP were more likely to fracture, while those fabricated using CAM were more likely to perforate.

Characterization of occlusal splint materials: CAD-CAM versus conventional resins

Mona Gibreel et al.

Summary: This in vitro study evaluated the mechanical properties of different splint materials, showing that CAD-CAM polycarbonate-based materials exhibit higher fracture toughness, fracture work, and lower water sorption and solubility compared to polymethyl methacrylate-based resins. However, the mechanical characteristics of CAD-CAM milled splint materials were not always superior to traditional heat-polymerized resins. Some CAD-CAM materials outperformed autopolymerizing acrylic resin in terms of flexural strength, surface microhardness, water sorption, and water solubility.

Accuracy and its impact on fit of injection molded, milled and additively manufactured occlusal splints

Christian Wesemann et al.

Summary: This study compared the accuracy and clinical relevance of different manufacturing methods for occlusal devices. It found that injection molding and subtractive manufacturing techniques showed the highest manufacturing accuracy and similar retention force, while additive manufacturing techniques had higher deviations but were still clinically acceptable.

Accuracy of desktop versus professional 3D printers for maxillofacial model production. A systematic review and meta-analysis

Xiaotong Wang et al.

Summary: This review systematically analyzed the accuracy of 3D maxillofacial skeletal models generated from desktop and professional printers. Results indicated comparable accuracy between the two types of printers, with no significant absolute mean difference observed. Among different printing technologies, material jetting and selective laser sintering offered the lowest mean differences, while fused deposition modeling showed the highest difference.
