Mechanical Properties of 3D Printed vs. Subtractively Manufactured Composite Resins for Permanent Restorations: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To conduct a systematic review on the mechanical properties of 3D printed resin-based composites when compared with those of subtractively manufactured resin-based composites.

Materials and methods

In vitro studies comparing the mechanical properties of additively and subtractively manufactured resin-based composites were sought. A systematic search, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), was performed on four databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus) for articles published until 23 December 2024. The quality of the studies was assessed with the QUIN tool (risk-of-bias tool for assessing in vitro studies conducted in dentistry) and those assessed with a high risk of bias were excluded.
