3D-printed full-arch denture teeth: impact of printing orientation on the trueness and precision in vitro.
Article in BMC oral health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
background3D-printed dentures can be fabricated by bonding two separately printed units; a base and a full-arch denture teeth. The accuracy of 3D-printed resin can be influenced by print orientation. While previous studies explored the accuracy of denture bases, no studies evaluated the accuracy of printed denture teeth in a full-arch form or the accuracy when printed at different print orientations. Therefore, this in vitro study aimed to evaluate and compare the trueness and precision of 3D-printed full-arch denture teeth fabricated with different printing orientations.
methodsA digitally designed full-arch denture teeth model was printed using two types of 3D-printed teeth resin (ASIGA DentaTOOTH and NextDent C&B MFH) at three printing orientations (0°, 45°, and 90°). The printed specimens were scanned and compared to the original CAD design to assess trueness. Precision was evaluated by superimposing scans of identical prints. Root mean square (RMS) values were calculated to quantify deviations. Statistical analysis was conducted using ANOVA and Tukeys' post hoc tests (α = 0.05).
resultsTrueness was significantly influenced by printing orientation (P < 0.05). Both resins showed the highest trueness at 0°, with significantly higher accuracy in ridge-lap and axial areas (P < 0.05). Precision remained relatively stable across orientations for NextDent; however, significantly higher precision was observed at 0° orientation for ASIGA resin (P < 0.05).
conclusionPrinting orientation and material type influenced the accuracy of 3D‑printed full‑arch denture teeth. The 0° orientation showed the lowest deviations, with trueness ranging from 51 to 92 μm and precision from 25 to 98 μm, depending on material and region. Higher deviations were observed at 45° and 90° (up to 171-299 μm for trueness and 201-217 μm for precision), yet all values remained within laboratory‑based acceptable ranges.
