“…PMMA resins are characterized by good optical properties-they transmit ultraviolet and visible light with a wavelength of up to 250 µm. According to the three-dimensional characteristics of colors, published by Alfred Munsell in 1905, the color space resembles a sphere in which each color occupies a specific place [24]. Each color has three dimensions-hue, saturation and brightness.…”

Comparison between Conventional PMMA and 3D Printed Resins for Denture Bases: A Narrative Review

et al. 2022

The aim of the current paper is to review the available literature reporting on comparative studies of heat-cured resins and three-dimensionally printed biomaterials for denture bases in terms of their composition, properties, fabrication techniques and clinical performance. The methodology included applying a search strategy, defining inclusion and exclusion criteria, selecting studies to summarize the results. Searches of PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases were performed independently by three reviewers to gather literature published between 2018 and 2021. A total of 135 titles were obtained from the electronic databases, and the application of exclusion criteria resulted in the identification of 42 articles pertaining to conventional and 3D printed technology for removable dentures. The main disadvantages of the heat-cured resins for removable dentures are that they require lots of special equipment, skilled personnel and time. Emerging technologies, such as 3D printed dentures, have the potential to alleviate these problems allowing for faster patient rehabilitation. With the development of digital dentistry, it is becoming increasingly necessary to use 3D printed resin materials for the manufacturing of removable dentures. However, further research is required on the existing and developing materials to allow for advancement and increase its application in removable prosthodontics.
