AI 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.
Article Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the influence of printing orientation on flexural strength (σf) and elastic modulus (E) of different 3D printing dental restorative resins.
Methods: Bar-shaped specimens (n = 20) were fabricated from two SLA-printed resins (FT- Formlabs Temporary, and FP- Formlabs Permanent) and two DLP-printed resins (DFT- Detax Freeprint Temp, and GCT- GC Temporary) using two building orientations (0º and 90º). The 3D-printed structures were aged (14 d) before submitted to three-point bending in 37ºC distilled water at a crosshead speed of 1.0 ± 0.3 mm/min until fracture to calculate the σf and the E values. The fractured surfaces were evaluated using stereomicroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) following fractography principles. Data were statistically analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc (α = 0.001).
Results: FP and FT showed significantly higher E values than DFT and GCT, irrespectively of printing orientation (p < 0.001). There was no statistical difference between the building orientations (0º and 90º) for the mean σf and E values for the resin materials evaluated. Fractographic characteristics were similar for the surface fracture from all the materials evaluated, showing typical brittle fracture behavior.
Significance: Printing orientation did not influence of flexural strength and elastic modulus values for the 3D-printed resin structures evaluated. Surface topography was mostly governed by the 3D printer type.

Extrusion-based 3D printing is a widely utilized tool in tissue engineering, offering precise 3D control of bioinks to construct organ-sized biomaterial objects with hierarchically organized cellularized scaffolds. Topological properties in flowing polymers are determined by macromolecule conformation, namely orientation and stretch degree. We utilized the micro-macro approach to describe hydrogel macromolecule orientation during extrusion, offering a two-scale fluid behavior description.
