Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how the orientation of 3D printing affects the flexural strength and elastic modulus of different dental resins.
- Specimens were created using two types of resin printing techniques and subjected to bending tests after aging, revealing no significant differences based on printing orientation.
- Findings indicated that the type of 3D printer had a more substantial impact on surface characteristics than the printing orientation itself.
Objectives: To evaluate the influence of thickness and printing angle on the optical properties of 3D-printed dental restorative resins.
Methods: Four 3D printing resin systems were evaluated: DFT-Detax Freeprint Temp; FP- Formlabs Permanent Crown; FP- Formlabs Temporary CB; and GCT- GC Temporary-. Samples from each material were printed at 0° and 90°, and polished up to 0.
Objectives: To evaluate the influence of printing orientation on color and translucency of 3D printing restorative resins.
Methods: Four 3D printing resin systems in the available shades (DFT-Detax Freeprint Temp- A1, A2,A3; FP-Formlabs Permanent Crown- A2,A3,B1,C2; FT- Formlabs Temporary CB- A2,A3,B1,C2; GCT-GC Temporary- Light, Medium) were evaluated. Three samples (10×10×1.
Objectives: To evaluate the effect of thickness on color and translucency of a multi-color polymer-infiltrated ceramic-network (PICN) material.
Methods: Specimens of 0.5, 1.

Article Synopsis
- This scoping review examines the importance of color and optical properties in 3D printed restorative polymer-based dental materials, aiming to mimic natural teeth.
- The literature search included studies from various databases with a focus on how well these properties are reported in the context of dental restorations.
- Results indicated limited research, with only nine studies meeting the criteria, showing inadequate evaluation of color and optical properties, suggesting the need for future studies that incorporate these aspects to enhance esthetic outcomes in dentistry.
Objective: To evaluate color, translucency parameter and optical properties (scattering (S), absorption (K) and transmittance (T)) of a multi-color polymer-infiltrated ceramic-network (PICN) material.
Methods: Samples of shades 1M1-HT, 1M2-HT, 2M2-HT, 3M2-HT, and 4M2-HT from VITA ENAMIC multiColor (E-MC) High Translucent were fabricated (n = 3). CAD-CAM blocks were cut and polished to 1.
