Polylactic Acid as a Material for Three-Dimensional Printing of Provisional Restorations.
International Journal of Prosthodontics 2018 July
PURPOSE: To assess the marginal fit of provisional polylactic acid (PLA) crowns obtained via three-dimensional (3D) printing using a profile projector.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A stone cast was scanned, and 15 provisional dental crowns were designed and printed in PLA using a 0.2-mm nozzle and 135-degree build angle. The marginal fit was measured at six points on each crown using a profile projector.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of this study, the marginal fit of PLA provisional restorations was clinically acceptable, and the results were comparable to those observed with polymethyl methacrylate provisional restorations.
