Comparison of 3D printed and conventional denture base materials in terms of durability and performance characteristics.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The aim of this study was to compare the performance of denture base materials produced by three-dimensional (3D) printing and conventional methods in terms of their mechanical durability and water absorption and solubility properties. Conventional polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) samples (Meliodent, Heraeus Kulzer, Germany) were prepared using the pressing technique. PowerResins (3BFAB Technology, Inc., Istanbul, Turkey) was used to produce the 3D printed denture base samples. The 3D printed samples were designed using Meshmixer software (Autodesk, Inc.) and printed on a DentaFab Sega 3D Printer (DentaFab, Istanbul, Turkey). Flexural and compressive strength and microhardness tests were conducted to evaluate the mechanical properties of the samples. Water absorption and solubility tests were also performed. The flexural and compressive strength and microhardness values of the 3D printed group were higher than those of the conventional group (p < 0.001). The mean water absorption value was lower in the 3D printed group compared to the conventional group, and the difference between these values was statistically significant (p < 0.001). A statistically significant difference was noted between the groups in terms of water solubility (p = 0.003). Our study shows that 3D printing can produce customized and high-precision prosthetic bases while also improving their physical and mechanical properties.
