Why it matters for dental
Prosthodontists and lab owners may gain a new workflow option if nanoparticle jetting 3D printing of zirconia becomes commercially viable; practices that mill or outsource zirconia restorations should monitor adoption costs and bond-strength claims.
Key points
- Nanoparticle jetting 3D printing produces zirconia intaglio surfaces for fixed prosthodontics.
- Researchers adjusted printing parameters to create specific intaglio microstructures.
- The work targets bonding performance and fracture resistance of zirconia restorations.
- Article appears in the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry and is available online 19 October 2026.
