    Summary

    Three-dimensional (3D) printing accuracy for dental models depends on build orientation and technology. Stereolithography (SLA) printers offer better trueness, especially for crowded teeth, leading to improved thermoformed appliance fit.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials Engineering
    • Digital Dentistry
    • Orthodontic Technology

    Background:

    • Three-dimensional (3D) printing is increasingly utilized in orthodontics for creating dental models.
    • Factors such as build orientation, layer thickness, and dental crowding can influence model accuracy.
    • The trueness of 3D-printed models directly impacts the fit of subsequent thermoformed appliances.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the impact of build orientation and layer thickness on the trueness of 3D-printed dental models.
    • To evaluate how dental crowding affects model accuracy.
    • To determine the influence of these parameters on the fit of thermoformed orthodontic appliances.

    Main Methods:

    • Ninety-six dental models were printed using stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing (DLP) technologies with varying layer thicknesses (160/300 μm for SLA, 100/200 μm for DLP).
    • Models were printed horizontally and vertically; accuracy was assessed by comparing digital models to source files using root mean square deviations.
    • Thermoformed appliances were fabricated on selected models, and their fit was evaluated digitally and by clinical inspection.

    Main Results:

    • Horizontal printing with SLA resulted in significantly better model trueness (P < .05), particularly for crowded dentitions, compared to DLP.
    • No significant differences in trueness were observed between SLA and DLP when models were printed vertically.
    • Appliances fabricated on DLP models exhibited the highest deviations; SLA models yielded superior appliance fit.

    Conclusions:

    • Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing demonstrates superior trueness for dental models, especially in horizontally printed configurations and crowded cases.
    • Increased layer height in 3D printing appears to yield accurate working models suitable for orthodontic applications.
    • The choice of 3D printing technology and build orientation is critical for achieving precise dental models and well-fitting orthodontic appliances.
