Purpose: To compare the suitability of a fused filament fabrication (FFF) consumer 3D printer with a professional digital light processing (DLP) printer for the production of surgical templates for guided oral implant surgery.
Materials And Methods: Eight virtual templates were printed with two different 3D printers. These were optically scanned and the incongruences between virtual and printed templates were determined after alignment of the surface scans and the virtual data. Minimum, maximum, and mean incongruences were determined, and a t test between both groups was performed to determine statistically significant differences in accuracy.
Results: Templates printed with the professional DLP printer showed statistically significantly less incongruence (P = .001) than those fabricated by the consumer FFF 3D printer.
Conclusion: The accuracy of manufactured templates is strongly dependent on the printing device and method. At this time, the tested consumer 3D FFF printer is not suitable for the fabrication of templates for implant guided surgery. Minimum requirements regarding printers' features and 3D-printed templates need to be assessed in future studies.

Objective: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the accuracy of resin-based fixed dental restorations, namely veneers, single crowns, and four-unit fixed partial dental prosthesis (FPDs), using two different 3D printing technologies and polymer-based materials.
Materials And Methods: A standard maxillary polyurethane jaw model containing prepared teeth was scanned using an intraoral scanner. The generated STL data were used to design the restorations virtually using CAD software.

This study aimed to evaluate ionic release, flexural strength and water absorption of UDMA resins containing 0-30 wt% surface pre-reacted glass-ionomer (S-PRG) filler fabricated by a DLP 3D printer. Release of Al, B, Na, Sr and F ions were measured by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and an ion meter. Flexural strength test and water absorption measurements were performed according to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 4049 standard and ISO 1567 standard, respectively.
