Impact of Layer Thickness and Storage Time on the Properties of 3D-Printed Dental Dies

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of printing layer thickness on the repeatability and surface roughness of 3D-printed dies and detect the effect of layer thickness and storage time on the dimensional stability of 3D-printed dies. One stereolithography (STL) file of an upper molar...

description The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of printing layer thickness on the repeatability and surface roughness of 3D-printed dies and detect the effect of layer thickness and storage time on the dimensional stability of 3D-printed dies. One stereolithography (STL) file of an upper molar prepared for a full ceramic crown was used to print three groups of dies: 25 µm, 50 µm, and 100 µm. Repeatability was evaluated by linear and area measurements with a digital caliper and a digital metrology microscope. Dimensional stability was analyzed at 3 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year of storage time. Surface roughness parameters were measured with a 3D confocal laser scanning microscope. Statistics were completed using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s post hoc tests, p < 0.05. Printing time decreased as layer thickness increased. All groups showed high repeatability and comparable surface roughness while showing differences in their linear dimensions and surface areas. At the 3 week storage interval, dimensional changes were observed in all groups. Within this experimental study’s constraints, it can be concluded that changing the 3D-printing layer thickness does not affect the repeatability or the surface roughness of the product; meanwhile, changes to the layer thickness and storage time influence the dimensional stability of 3D-printed dies.
