Topic: Recent advancements in dentistry have been made with the use of 3D-printed restorations. The American Dental Association (ADA) has redefined ceramics, allowing 3D-printed materials with a dominant filler to be classified as ceramic, thus expanding the possibilities for printing permanent restorations. Evaluating and comparing the mechanical properties of novel 3D-printed materials needed.
