Effects of post-curing conditions on degree of conversion, microhardness, and stainability of 3D printed permanent resins.
Article in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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
backgroundThe aim of this in-vitro study is to investigate the effect of post-curing time and units on the degree of conversion (DC), microhardness (VHN) and staining susceptibility (∆E
methodsA total of 180 disc-shaped samples (10*10*2 mm), 60 for each experiment, from the tested materials (30 SCT, 30 VSP) were printed on 3D printer. Half of the samples were post-cured in LC-3DPrint Box and the other half in Phrozen Cure V2 and were divided into 3 subgroups according to post-curing time of 5, 10 and 30 min (n = 5). The DC of the samples was determined using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. The VHN values were measured with a Vickers hardness tester. The color of the samples was initially measured using a spectrophotometer and then again after one month of staining in coffee. The ∆E
resultsWhile DC and VHN of the tested materials increased in parallel with the post-curing time, ∆E
conclusionThe study demonstrated that extending the post-curing time led to improvements in the degree of conversion and microhardness, while simultaneously reducing the stainability of the materials tested. Additionally, the type of post-curing unit used had a significant impact on these results, further highlighting the importance of both curing time and equipment in optimizing material properties.
