Statement Of Problem: Despite the increasing demand for a digital workflow in the fabrication of indirect restorations, information on the accuracy of the resulting definitive casts is limited.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the accuracy of definitive casts produced with digital scans and conventional impressions.
Material And Methods: Chamfer preparations were made on the maxillary right canine and second molar of a typodont. Subsequently, 9 conventional impressions were made to produce 9 gypsum casts, and 9 digital scans were made to produce stereolithography additive (SLA) casts from 2 manufacturers: 9 Dreve SLA casts and 9 Scanbiz SLA casts. All casts were then scanned 9 times with an extraoral scanner to produce the reference data set. Trueness was evaluated by superimposing the data sets obtained by scanning the casts with the reference data set. Precision was evaluated by analyzing the deviations among repeated scans. The root mean square (RMS) and percentage of points aligned within the nominal values (±50 μm) of the 3-dimensional analysis were calculated by the software.
Results: Gypsum had the best alignment (within 50 μm) with the reference data set (median 95.3%, IQR 16.7) and the least RMS (median 25.8 μm, IQR 14.6), followed by Dreve and Scanbiz. Differences in RMS were observed between gypsum and the SLA casts (P<.001). Within 50 μm, gypsum was superior to Scanbiz (P<.001). Gypsum casts exhibited the highest precision, showing the best alignment (within 50 μm) and the least RMS, followed by Scanbiz and Dreve.
Conclusions: This study found that gypsum casts had higher accuracy than SLA casts. Within 50 μm, gypsum casts were better than Scanbiz SLA casts, while gypsum casts and Dreve SLA casts had similar trueness. Significant differences were found among the investigated SLA casts used in the digital workflow.

The rapid investment casting (RIC) process requires a 3D-printed pattern to create a ceramic mold. Stereolithography (SLA) is a commonly used 3D printing method for pattern creation due to its ability to print complex shapes with smooth surfaces. The printing parameters can significantly affect the dimensional accuracy of the pattern.

Objectives: To evaluate the fabrication trueness of additively manufactured maxillary definitive casts with various tooth preparations fabricated with different 3-dimensional (3D) printers and print orientations.
Methods: A maxillary typodont with tooth preparations for a posterior 3-unit fixed partial denture, lateral incisor crown, central incisor and canine veneers, first premolar and second molar inlays, and a first molar crown was digitized with an industrial scanner. This scan file was used to fabricate definitive casts with a digital light processing (DLP) or stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer in different orientations (0-degree, 30-degree, 45-degree, and 90-degree) (n = 7).

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the accuracy of complete-arch dental casts produced by six different 3D printers, focusing on both horizontal and vertical measurements using low-viscosity resin material.
- Ten casts were printed from a reference design and analyzed for accuracy through multiple deviation metrics, with surface characteristics examined via advanced microscopy techniques.
- Results indicated that LCD printers generally had higher accuracy (trueness) compared to DLPa and SLA printers, with specific variations in dimensions and surface quality noted among the different printer types.

Background: The effect of 3D printing technology and build angle on the marginal fit of printed crowns is unclear. The objective of this research was to use digital light processing (DLP) and stereo-lithography (SLA)-based 3D printing to construct single restorations with varied build angles and to analyze the crowns' marginal fit.
Methods: A prepared resin first molar was scanned utilizing an optical scanner.

Rapid investment casting is a casting process in which the sacrificial patterns are fabricated using additive manufacturing techniques, making the creation of advanced designs possible. One of the popular 3D printing methods applied in rapid investment casting is stereolithography because of its high dimensional precision and surface quality. Printing parameters of the used additive manufacturing method can influence the surface quality and accuracy of the rapid investment cast geometries.
