3D-printed resin composites show comparable strength to conventional materials

Systematic review of recent meta‑analyses indicates 3D‑printed dental resin‑based composites achieve similar flexural strength (average 115 MPa) and marginal adaptation to milled CAD/CAM blocks, though long‑term wear data remain limited. BDS graduates can consider 3D‑printed restorations for interim or simple cases while monitoring emerging evidence. Published on PubMed.
