Effect of preparation design on the fracture behavior of 3D-printed restorations in an in-vitro tooth wear model.
Article in BMC oral health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07676929 (Clinical Evaluation of 3D-Printed Versus Semi-Direct Composite Resin Restorations), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
backgroundAdditive manufacturing technologies have introduced new nanohybrid resin composites for permanent indirect restorations. However, limited evidence exists regarding the mechanical performance of 3D-printed restorations in managing occlusal wear. This study evaluated the effect of preparation design on fracture resistance, preparation time, and failure modes of 3D-printed restorations.
methodsForty maxillary premolars were allocated to four groups (n = 10): sound teeth (ST), overlay (OV), veneerlay (VL), and full crown (FC). Experimental groups received standardized 1.0–1.2 mm occlusal wear simulation. Restorations were designed using CAD software and fabricated with a 3D-printed nanohybrid composite (Rodin Sculpture 2.0). Cementation employed immediate dentin sealing and heated composite resin. Specimens underwent compressive fracture testing in a universal testing machine. Failure modes were categorized as catastrophic and non-catastrophic. One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test and Fisher’s exact test were used (α = 0.05).
resultsPreparation design significantly influenced fracture resistance (p < 0.05). OV exhibited the highest mean fracture load (1842.82 ± 560.47 N), which was significantly higher than FC (1236.79 ± 497.59 N). Preparation time increased with the invasiveness of the design (OV < VL < FC; p < 0.05). Catastrophic failures occurred most frequently in the FC group (60%) and were not observed in ST or OV.
conclusions3D-printed occlusal veneers demonstrated fracture resistance values that exceeded physiological loading, with overlays providing superior strength and the lowest risk of catastrophic failure. Conservative adhesive preparation designs should be favored over full crowns in the rehabilitation of worn dentition.
