Effects of autoclaving and disinfection on 3D surgical guides using LCD technology for dental implant.
Article in 3D printing in medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSurgical guides can improve the precision of implant placement and minimize procedural errors and their related complications. This study aims to determine how different disinfection and sterilization methods affect the size changes of drill guide templates and the mechanical properties of 3D-printed surgical guides made with LCD technology.
methodsWe produced a total of 100 samples. Forty surgical guides were fabricated to assess the implant drill guides' surface and geometric properties. We subjected sixty samples to mechanical tests to analyze their tensile, flexural, and compressive properties. We classified the samples into four groups based on each analytical method: GC, which served as the control group; GA, which underwent autoclave sterilization at 121 °C (+ 1 bar, 20 min); GB, which underwent autoclave sterilization at 134 °C (+ 2 bar, 10 min); and GL, which underwent disinfection with 70% isopropyl alcohol for 20 min.
resultThe results show that sterilization at 121 °C and 134 °C affects the mechanical and geometric characteristics of the surgical guides, while disinfection with 70% isopropyl alcohol gives better results.
conclusionOur study of 3D-printed surgical guides using LCD technology found that sterilization at high temperatures affects the guides' mechanical and geometric properties. Instead, disinfection with 70% isopropyl alcohol is recommended.
