“…As previously known, shrinkage is one of the challenges of DLP printers [ 27 ]. In the color map, such shrinkage was well-presented in both printers, and it was more prominent in LCD restorations.…”
With the advent of 3D printing technologies in dentistry, the optimization of printing conditions has been of great interest, so this study analyzed the accuracy of 3D-printed temporary restorations of different sizes produced by digital light processing (DLP) and liquid crystal display (LCD) printers. Temporary restorations of 2-unit, 3-unit, 5-unit, 6-unit, and full-arch cases were designed and printed from a DLP printer using NextDent C&B or an LCD printer using Mazic D Temp (n = 10 each). The restorations were scanned, and each restoration standard tessellation language (STL) file was superimposed on the reference STL file, by the alignment functions, to evaluate the trueness through whole/point deviation. In the whole-deviation analysis, the root-mean-square (RMS) values were significantly higher in the 6-unit and full-arch cases for the DLP printer and in the 5-unit, 6-unit, and full-arch cases for the LCD printer. The significant difference between DLP and LCD printers was found in the 5-unit and full-arch cases, where the DLP printer exhibited lower RMS values. Color mapping demonstrated less shrinkage in the DLP printer. In the point deviation analysis, a significant difference in direction was exhibited in all the restorations from the DLP printer but only in some cases from the LCD printer. Within the limitations of this study, 3D printing was most accurate with less deviation and shrinkage when a DLP printer was used for short-unit restorations.

“…This was examined by other researchers that the properties of the GelMA hydrogels can be eagerly tailored by changing the MD, photoinitiator and GelMA concentration, as well as intensity and irradiation time (irradiation dose). [21][22][23][24][25][26][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] The relation between MD and GF, SD, EB, TS, and T g of photo-crosslinked GelMA hydrogels are shown in Fig. 11 (solid lines) and the equation of best curve tting for each data was derived (dotted lines) as follows: The objective of measuring the static WCAs was to compare the wettability of the photo-crosslinked GelMA lms.…”

“…[8][9][10][11][12][16][17][18][19][21][22][23] Photo-curing has received considerable attention as an excellent method to develop the hydrogels due to the fast crosslinking at mild conditions (in aqueous environments, neutral pH, and at ambient temperature) and being environmentally-friendly (no solvent emission and low energy consumption). 18,20,22,[24][25][26] In the conventional GelMA synthesis, the primary amine groups existing on the lysine (LY) and hydroxylysine (HLY) amino acids of gelatin react directly with anhydride group of methacrylic anhydride (MA) at 50-60 C in an aqueous media for 1-10 h resulting in the GelMAs with various methacrylation degrees (MDs). 21,22,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31] It was stated that highly methacrylated gelatin can be almost only achieved in the conventional methacrylation method by using an excess amount of MA (up to 30 times molar excess) over the estimated primary amine groups of gelatin during a quite long time (10 h).…”

Highly crosslinked gelatin-based hydrogels were prepared via a green technique including a microwave-assisted methacrylation using glycidyl methacrylate or methacrylic anhydride and an LED-curing with a time, energy, and reagent-saving approach.
“…For instance, by using a reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agent as the reactive light absorber, Boyer and coworkers [38][39][40][41] have achieved a print speed of 9.1 cm h −1 while the print resolution is reported to be 200 μm 38 . Allonas and coworkers also reported a resolution of 100 μm but with a low print speed of 1.8 cm h −1 using other three-component photoinitiating systems 42,43 , wherein the photosensitizer functions as the reactive light absorber. Nonetheless, further increasing the print resolution remains a challenge.…”
Photopolymerization-based three-dimensional (3D) printing can enable customized manufacturing that is difficult to achieve through other traditional means. Nevertheless, it remains challenging to achieve efficient 3D printing due to the compromise between print speed and resolution. Herein, we report an efficient 3D printing approach based on the photooxidation of ketocoumarin that functions as the photosensitizer during photopolymerization, which can simultaneously deliver high print speed (5.1 cm h−1) and high print resolution (23 μm) on a common 3D printer. Mechanistically, the initiating radical and deethylated ketocoumarin are both generated upon visible light exposure, with the former giving rise to rapid photopolymerization and high print speed while the latter ensuring high print resolution by confining the light penetration. By comparison, the printed feature is hard to identify when the ketocoumarin encounters photoreduction due to the increased lateral photopolymerization. The proposed approach here provides a viable solution towards efficient additive manufacturing by controlling the photoreaction of photosensitizers during photopolymerization.
