PURPOSE

To measure the flexural strength and Weibull characteristics of aged and non-aged printed interim dental material fabricated with different layer thickness.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Bars (25×2×2 mm) were additively fabricated by using a polymer printer (Asiga Max) and an interim resin (Nexdent C&B MFH). Specimens were fabricated with the same printing parameters and postprocessing procedures, but with 7 different layer thickness: 50 (control or 50-G group), 10 (10-G group), 25 (25-G group), 75 (75-G group), 100 (100-G group), 125 (125-G group), and 150 μm (150-G group). Two subgroups were created: non-aged and aged subgroups (n = 10). A universal testing machine was selected to measure flexural strength. Two-parameter Weibull distribution values were computed. Two-way ANOVA and Tukey tests were elected to examine the data (α = .05).

RESULTS

Artificial aging methods (P<.001) were a significant predictor of the flexural strength computed. Aged specimens acquired less flexural strength than non-aged specimens. The Weibull distribution obtained the highest shape for non-aged 50-G and 75-G group specimens compared with those of other non-aged groups, while the Weibull distribution showed the highest shape for aged 125-G specimens.

CONCLUSIONS

The flexural strength of the additively fabricated interim material examined was not influenced by the layer thickness at which the specimens were fabricated; however, artificial aging techniques reduced its flexural strength. Aged specimens presented lower Weibull distribution values compared with non-aged specimens, except for the 125-G specimens. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
