Description
Faris A Alshahrani and colleagues test in 2026 how cleaning methods affect the bending strength of 3D-printed denture plastic. Two printed resins formed 200 bar samples split among water storage, cleanser tablets, microwave, ultraviolet light, and ultrasonic cleaning. Strength was measured after 90 and 180 days of each routine.
Cleanser tablets weakened both resins at both time points. Microwave and ultrasonic cleaning also cut strength by the later check in most cases. Ultraviolet light preserved strength best, holding steady across the full period for one resin. The authors favor light-based cleaning for printed dentures.
