Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated various mechanical properties (flexural strength, elastic modulus, Martens hardness) and characteristics (water sorption, water solubility, degree of conversion) of 3D-printed, milled, and injection molded splint materials, using 1140 specimens from various brands.
- - Initial testing showed that injection molded materials exhibited the highest strength and hardness, while 3D-printed materials had lower values, though they improved in some properties after water storage and thermal cycling.
- - Results indicated changes in the mechanical and physical properties of the materials over time, highlighting the importance of material choice for splint applications in dental and medical contexts.
