3D printed versus conventionally cured provisional crown and bridge dental materials

Rapid and automated prototyping of dental materials and restorations in three dimensions (3D) has had a significant impact in the field of restorative dentistry in recent years [1]. The enormous progress of digital dentistry in the recent decade is undeniable, especially since the advent of CAD/CAM imaging and milling systems, which have literaly created a new modality of clinical dentistry [2]. The most recent wave of technological development in digital dentistry revolves around the field of 3D printing [3].
