Effect of printing orientation and resin thickness on flexural strength of direct 3D-printed aligners

20255 citationsOpen accessAlexandria University

Abstract

Printing orientation did not alter the flexural strength of the direct 3D-printed aligner flat specimens, regardless of whether they were printed vertically, horizontally, or at angles of 30 or 45 degrees relative to the printer build plate. Additionally, specimens with a thickness of 0.7 mm exhibited higher bending resistance compared to those with a thickness of 0.5 mm.
