Evaluation of the tensile properties of polished and unpolished 3D SLA- and DLP-Printed specimens used for surgical guides fabrication.

Introduction: The fundamental mechanical properties of 3D printed surgical guides used in orthodontics represent an important indicator for the accuracy of the insertion of skeletal anchorage devices. The tensile strength of devices printed by stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing (DL...

Description
Summary:Introduction: The fundamental mechanical properties of 3D printed surgical guides used in orthodontics represent an important indicator for the accuracy of the insertion of skeletal anchorage devices. The tensile strength of devices printed by stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing (DLP) methods, respectively, is influenced by factors such as finishing process.
