Why it matters for dental
For labs and clinicians adopting 3D-printed definitive composite restorations, build-angle choice directly influences marginal and internal fit, potentially reducing chairside adjustments and remakes.
Key points
- Study assessed the accuracy of 3D-printed composite crowns, onlays, and laminate veneers across multiple build angles in an in-vitro setting.
- Published in Journal of Dentistry (Vol 175, Dec 2026) with five named authors from Turkish institutions.
- Findings are relevant to labs and practices deciding on print orientation parameters for definitive esthetic restorations.
- Owners and specialists should evaluate whether their current build-angle protocols align with the accuracy data before scaling production.
