Abstract:
The objective of the study was to compare 4 mechanical properties of two 3-D printing resins with dentine. Four mechanical tests were performed on dentine specimens, VeroClear resin and Splint resin with 15 samples each. Vickers hardness test, samples were subjected to a 300-g load for 10 s. Flexural strength test, 8-millimetre, beam-shaped specimens were tested using the three-point bending method. Drilling force was measured on flat-surface specimens. Intra-canal torque was measured on specimens imitating root canals. The results were analysed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests with adjusted Bonferroni's p-value (p < 0.05). Dentine exhibited the highest mechanical properties in all the tests. VeroClear's flexural strength and drilling force were higher, while the surface hardness was lower than that of Splint resin. The intra-canal torque of dentine and VeroClear resin were not significant and higher than that of Splint resin. VeroClear's mechanical properties were closer to dentine than Splint resin.
