Bond Strength Of Reline Materials To 3d-Printed Provisional Crown Resins, Jorge Palavicini, Sherrod L. Quin, Wael Zakkour, Karim Zakkour, Safa Manafi Varkiani, Xiaoming Xu, Nathaniel C. Lawson, Amir Hossein Nejat

School of Dentistry Faculty Publications

(1) Purpose: The aim of the present study was to compare the bond strength between two 3D-printed resins designed for long-term provisional crowns and three different reline materials. (2) Materials and Methods: Rectangular specimens were prepared from two 3D-printed resins (Envision Tech and NextDent C&B) and a conventional self-cure PMMA. Transparent tubes filled with three different reline materials including composite resin, Bis-acryl, and PMMA were bonded to the 3D-printed specimens (n = 11 per group, total of 6 study groups). Tubes filled with PMMA were bonded to the prepared PMMA specimens which served as the control group (n = 11, …

An Update Of Additive Manufacturing (3d Printing) Technology In Dentistry., Rami Saleh Al Fodeh, Ahed Al-Wahadni, Baker Otman, Mahmoud Almasri

International Arab Journal of Dentistry

Background:

The development of procedures known as additive manufacturing, which aim to produce more complex items with a lower overall material consumption compared to processes known as subtractive manufacturing. In addition, in recent years there has been a significant rise in the quantity of dental materials that are produced via the use of these techniques. As a consequence of this, scientific research has been concentrating more and more on such technologies, particularly in order to shed light on the methodology, indicators, and boundaries of the emerging technology.

Methods:

The purpose of this paper is to provide a narrative assessment of …

Synthesis And Characterization Of Photocurable Resin Used In 3d Printing For Dental Applications, Mayar E. Mohamed, Inas T. Motawea, Hisham Essawy

Al-Azhar Journal of Dentistry

Purpose: The present study aimed to synthesize and characterize photocurable resin with lower cost to be used in DLP 3D printing to fabricate clear dental appliances like surgical guides and aligners. Materials and Methods: Mixture of acrylates of 1,10 decandiol diacrylate, pentaerythritol tetracrylate and isobornyl acrylare were mixed together and dissolve the photo initiator phenyl bis (2,4,6 trimethylbenzoyl) phosphine oxide and optical absorber 2,5-bis (tert-butyl-benzoxzzol-2-yl) thiophene by proper mixing for 30 mins at room temperature. Then experimental resin specimens were fabricated by DLP 3D printer 12 specimens were subjected to post curing for 15 mins and another 12 specimens were …

Mechanical Properties And Microstructure Characteristics Of Alloy Parts Produced By Laser Powder Bed Fusion (Lpbf) Method, Hong Yao

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a rapid prototyping technology to produce fully functional and complex designing objects. As one of the AM methods, Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) has gained the most attention from both academic researchers and industrial companies. During the LPBF process, metal powders are applied layer by layer, which can be 20 microns to 50 microns in thickness. After a layer is prepared, a high-power laser, which is commonly controlled by a scanning head, is used to selectively melt the interested area of a 2D geometry which is designed in a computer aided designing software. LPBF method can …

Three-Dimensional Bio-Printing And Bone Tissue Engineering: Technical Innovations And Potential Applications In Maxillofacial Reconstructive Surgery, Muhja Salah, Lobat Tayebi, Keyvan Moharamzadeh, Farhad B. Naini

School of Dentistry Faculty Research and Publications

Background

Bone grafting has been considered the gold standard for hard tissue reconstructive surgery and is widely used for large mandibular defect reconstruction. However, the midface encompasses delicate structures that are surrounded by a complex bone architecture, which makes bone grafting using traditional methods very challenging. Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is a developing technology that is derived from the evolution of additive manufacturing. It enables precise development of a scaffold from different available biomaterials that mimic the shape, size, and dimension of a defect without relying only on the surgeon’s skills and capabilities, and subsequently, may enhance surgical outcomes and, in …

Applications Of 3d Printing On Craniofacial Bone Repair: A Systematic Review, Michael Maroulakos, George Kamperos, Lobat Tayebi, Demetrios J. Halazonetis, Yijin Ren

School of Dentistry Faculty Research and Publications

Objectives

Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting, a method derived from additive manufacturing technology, is a recent and ongoing trend for the construction of 3D volumetric structures. The purpose of this systematic review is to summarize evidence from existing human and animal studies assessing the application of 3D printing on bone repair and regeneration in the craniofacial region.

Data & sources

A rigorous search of all relevant clinical trials and case series was performed, based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The search was conducted in all available electronic databases and sources, supplemented by a manual search, in December 2017.
