Description
Merve Arikan and Serdar Akarsu compare printed dental resins with standard repair materials. Dentists now print crowns and other lasting fixes from resin. How those prints stack up on hardness, smoothness, and strength was not settled. The team tested two printed resins against a milled block and a classic filling resin.
Specimens were shaped to formal standards and put through three tests. The milled block won on both hardness and bending strength. One printed resin scored the lowest hardness of the set. The classic resin had the roughest surface. Printed resins cleared the formal strength floor, though some samples sat near it. The authors call for long term clinical trials before wide use.
