This article presents a procedure for selecting optimal ceramic paste formulations dedicated to the 3D printing process using robocasting technology. This study investigated pastes with varying ceramic powder particle sizes and different proportions of additives, such as ceramic microspheres and nutshells. This selection process allowed for the classification of ceramic mixtures into those suitable and unsuitable for this additive manufacturing technique. Subsequently, the viscosity of the pastes was measured, and extrudability tests were performed to determine the force required for extrusion and evaluate the quality of the extruded material. In the final stage, the setting time of the ceramic pastes was assessed to establish the drying time of the printed elements. It was found that the length of the extruded band of ceramic paste was inversely proportional to the Al₂O₃ content. Moreover, the extrusion force for samples with varying ceramic powder particle sizes (MG1-MG5) ranged from 133 to 166 N, compared to 77 N for the base sample (BM1). The obtained results enable further development in robocasting additive technology, including the development of a rapid and effective method for validating ceramic pastes used in this process.

Sacrificial templating offers the ability to create interconnected pores within 3D printed filaments and to control pore morphology. Beta-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) bone tissue engineering (BTE) scaffolds were fabricated with multiscale porosity: (i) macropores from direct ink writing (DIW, a material extrusion 3D printing technique), (ii) micropores from oil templating, and (iii) smaller micropores from partial sintering. The hierarchically porous scaffolds possessed a total porosity of 58-70 %, comprising 54-63 % interconnected open pores.

Fixed partial dentures are the primary treatment for dentition defects. Digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing technology is an advanced technique with significant advantages and potential in the field of dental restoration, particularly in cases requiring high precision and personalization. However, challenges persist in printing fixed partial dentures that meet the strength requirements for clinical applications.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the cytotoxicity of two bioceramic-based root canal sealers (Bioserra and AH Plus Bio) and two epoxy resin-based sealers (Sealart and AH Plus) on Saos-2 cells.
- Researchers used various methods including the MTT assay for metabolic activity, qRT-PCR to measure gene expression, and western blotting for protein analysis, alongside assessing oxidative stress indicators.
- Results showed AH Plus Bio exhibited the best biocompatibility, while Sealart was the most cytotoxic; Bioserra was generally biocompatible but increased certain gene expressions, indicating a need for careful selection of sealers in dental applications.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an immune-boosting beverage with Sambucus nigra (SAM), an energy beverage (ENE), an in-office bleaching agent with a novel composition, and a fine-grain professional dental prophylaxis (PDP) paste on the surface roughness (Ra) and microhardness (MH) of CAD/CAM restorative materials over time.
Methods: Feldspathic ceramic (FC) and polymer infiltrated ceramic network (PICN) specimens were prepared (N = 126). Glazing, polishing, bleaching and immersion in beverages groups were formed.
