| description | Additive manufacturing is a technology that has many uses across a variety of fields. Its usage spans many fields, including the fields of art, design, architecture, engineering and medicine, including dentistry. The study aims to evaluate and compare the accuracy of three-dimensional printed dental models based on ethylene di-methacrylate using the SLA and DLP techniques. For evaluation, a reference model containing 16 maxillary permanent molars was chosen. An ATOS Capsule 3D scanner was used to scan the reference model. Using a photo-cured liquid resin, eight three-dimensional printed models were obtained using the reference model as benchmark. Four of the models (A1–A4) were obtained using SLA printing technology and four models (B1–B4) were manufactured using DLP printing technology. A standard best fit method was used to pre-align the reference and the printed model surfaces. The height of the teeth, and the mesial–distal and buccal–lingual distances were analyzed. The assessment of the two manufacturing methods was achieved by using non-parametric tests to compare the mean ranks for the assessed features. The results show that models obtained through DLP had a higher precision but also a higher bias. Both methods still are within the required accuracy range for dental models. |
