Evaluation of mechanical properties and color stability of 3D-printed denture base materials following two surface treatments.
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 14 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
backgroundComprehending the synergistic of surface treatments and oral environmental factors is paramount for optimizing the performance of 3D-printed dentures. This study evaluates flexural strength, hardness, roughness, and color stability of 3D-printed resins after two surface treatments and coffee thermocycling, to establish alternative polishing efficacy. MATERIALS AND
methodsRectangular test specimens (64 × 10 × 3.3 ± 0.2 mm) were fabricated from a conventional heat-cured denture base material (Probase HC, n = 20) and four 3D-printed denture base materials (Nextdent; ND, Formlabs; FL, Senertek; ST, Powerresin; PR, n = 40 per group), resulting in a total sample size of N = 180. Specimens were randomly assigned to undergo either mechanical polishing or glazing, followed by 5000 cycles of coffee thermocycling (CTC). Color change (ΔE

conclusionGlaze application resulted in improved mechanical strength and hardness for the majority of 3D-printed groups; however, its capacity to effectively reduce surface roughness and discoloration was consistently limited. Conversely, mechanical polishing maintained its beneficial effects, demonstrating clinically acceptable values across all assessed parameters. Therefore, comprehensive additional investigations are necessitated to fully elucidate the performance characteristics of glaze materials and their interactions with 3D-printed denture base materials.
