“…The present results are in line with a study of Dedem et al; they investigated that some of the main advantages of digital manufacturing of Michigan splints over impression‐based manufacturing were the time‐efficient process, the high material quality and the possibility of manufacturing duplicate splints 19 . Furthermore, Waldecker et al fabricated an occlusal device with a fully digital process using an intra‐oral scanner (CEREC Omnicam with Sirona Connect v4.4; Dentsply Sirona) and 3D‐printed resin 22 . They tested fit, occlusion and patient‐friendly handling and stated that although only minor occlusal corrections were required, it was suitable for the fabrication of occlusal devices in a digital procedure.…”

Sleep bruxism (SB) is defined previously as a kind of repetitive jaw-muscle activity mainly manifested by grinding, clenching, and/or bracing or thrusting of the mandible during sleep. 1 Although the aetiology of bruxism is not exactly clear, many studies regarded it as multiple causes including morphological, psychosocial, genetic and other possible factors. 2-5 Long-term SB can lead to tooth wear, jaw-muscle pain and occlusal trauma, and in some severe forms can cause difficulty with speech or swallowing. 6 With the deepening of research in recent years, some studies have constantly discussed and updated the definition of SB. 7-9 Therefore, it tends to be regarded as a risk factor rather than a kind of disease. In 2018, Lobbezoo et al stated in a new study that SB should be regarded as a 'behaviour' among

“…Not only metric quality and stability are important attributes of the 3D printed model, but also the surface of the model is also equally significant in prosthodontics, esthetic dentistry, and orthodontics [72]. The FDM model showed clear lines in each layer; however, at higher magnification, some cuts were observed that could affect the durability of the material.…”

A Review of 3D Printing in Dentistry: Technologies, Affecting Factors, and Applications

Three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies are advanced manufacturing technologies based on computer-aided design digital models to create personalized 3D objects automatically. They have been widely used in the industry, design, engineering, and manufacturing fields for nearly 30 years. Three-dimensional printing has many advantages in process engineering, with applications in dentistry ranging from the field of prosthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and oral implantology to orthodontics, endodontics, and periodontology. This review provides a practical and scientific overview of 3D printing technologies. First, it introduces current 3D printing technologies, including powder bed fusion, photopolymerization molding, and fused deposition modeling. Additionally, it introduces various factors affecting 3D printing metrics, such as mechanical properties and accuracy. The final section presents a summary of the clinical applications of 3D printing in dentistry, including manufacturing working models and main applications in the fields of prosthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and oral implantology. The 3D printing technologies have the advantages of high material utilization and the ability to manufacture a single complex geometry; nevertheless, they have the disadvantages of high cost and time-consuming postprocessing. The development of new materials and technologies will be the future trend of 3D printing in dentistry, and there is no denying that 3D printing will have a bright future.

“…A full-arch dental impression using intraoral scanners has been shown to be quickly, and to increase treatment comfort and precision when compared to the irreversible hydrocolloid material (Ender & Mehl, 2015;Zimmermann et al, 2017). The accuracy of this process is sufficiently for the fabrication of an occlusal device (Waldecker et al, 2019). To maxillomandibular relationship record, a benefit for the "Lucia jig" that one can control the posterior interocclusal space and create a stable bite position (Lauren & McIntyre, 2008;Vasques et al, 2020).…”

“…For occlusal splint, a full-arch digital impressions are necessary, a specialized CAD software is used to design splints and a computerized milling device or 3-dimentional (3D) printing (Lauren & McIntyre, 2008;Ender & Mehl, 2015;Zimmermann, Koller, Rumetsch, Ender & Mehl, 2017;Prpic et al, 2019). The advantages of this technology is the capacity to store and reproduce the devices, accurate and consistent digital control over articulation, splint design and production and a quicker splint fabrication (Lauren & McIntyre, 2008;Waldecker et al, 2019;Vasques et al, 2020). Digital splints can be produced using many materials including cold-cure acrylic, hard/soft materials, heat-softening acrylics, and light-cure materials (Lauren & McIntyre, 2008).…”

This dental technique note describes the manufacture of a new design of occlusal splint for protection of shear forces in anterior aesthetic restorations in patients with sleep bruxism, using the computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technique. Maxillary and mandibular arches were scanned and a Jig with polyvinyl siloxane material was made to maxillomandibular relationship record. For interocclusal device planning, the anterior limits must not cover the buccal surfaces of the anterior teeth, extending only on the incisal of these dental elements. The device is then virtually designed, and the CAD file of splint is sent to CAM milling process. The occlusal splint was tested for stability, insertion and removal, the distribution of occlusal contacts and care instructions were given to the patient. This device design avoids contact between splint and anterior aesthetic restorations during occlusal forces decreasing potential of failure, which increases the success rate of these previous aesthetic rehabilitations.
