Influence of the layer thickness on the flexural strength of aged and nonaged additively manufactured interim dental material

PURPOSE: To measure the flexural strength and Weibull characteristics of aged and nonaged printed interim dental material fabricated with different layer thickness.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Bars (25×2×2 mm) were additively fabricated by using a polymer printer (Asiga Max) and an interim resin (Nexdent C&B MFH). Specimens were fabricated with the same printing parameters and postprocessing procedures, but with 7 different layer thickness: 50 (control or 50-G group), 10 (10-G group), 25 (25-G group), 75 (75-G group), 100 (100-G group), 125 (125-G group), and 150 μm (150-G group). Two subgroups were created: nonaged and aged subgroups (n = 10). A universal testing machine was selected to measure flexural strength. Two-parameter Weibull distribution values were computed. Two-way ANOVA and Tukey tests were selected for statistical evaluation of the data (α = 0.05).

RESULTS: Artificial aging methods (p < 0.001) were a significant predictor of the flexural strength computed. Aged specimens acquired less flexural strength than nonaged specimens. The Weibull distribution obtained the highest shape for nonaged 50-G and 75-G group specimens compared with those of other nonaged groups, while the Weibull distribution showed the highest shape for aged 125-G specimens.

CONCLUSIONS: The flexural strength of the additively fabricated interim material examined was not influenced by the layer thickness at which the specimens were fabricated; however, artificial aging techniques reduced its flexural strength. Aged specimens presented lower Weibull distribution values compared with nonaged specimens, except for the 125-G specimens.
