A 3-D printing method to produce dental prostheses of complex shapes from a commercial, photocurable resin-ceramic slurry is developed and optimized. The microstructure, mechanical properties and wear behavior of the resulting material are evaluated and compared with a conventional/control sample and other ceramic-polymer dental composites. Commercial resin-ceramic dental slurries can be successfully extruded and appropriately photocured in a low cost 3-D printing system to produce cost-efficient complex dental parts that could be used in indirect restorations.

- Researchers prepared ultra-high-temperature ZrB ceramics with 20 vol.% MoSi using cold isostatic pressing and robocasting, followed by spark plasma sintering to consolidate them.
- The oxidation behavior of these materials was tested in low-pressure air at temperatures of 1800, 2000, and 2200 K, revealing zirconia formation at all temperatures and silica only at 1800 K.
- Findings indicate that less dense ceramics are more prone to oxidation and suggest that the ceramics can withstand temperatures up to 2000 K, making them strong candidates for thermal protection applications.
