Abstract

Zirconia's distinctive intrinsic qualities have drawn the interest of the dentistry community in medical settings. The technology of additive manufacturing (AM), which produces very little waste, has been utilized to create complex and highly accurate materials. Despite AM has a number of potential benefits for efficiently producing functional, complicated shape zirconia components, there is still a paucity of industrial importance in implementations. Objective: To evaluate the strength and reliability of zirconia manufactured using the AM technology. Methods: A 3D printer was used to create zirconia bars in both horizontal and vertical orientations. The samples' geometrical correctness, density, layer thickness, and ductility were all measured using short bars. In tests for tensile properties, long bars were utilized. Using a caliper, the lengths of three short bars were measured, and the average values were calculated. They were contrasted with the theoretical parameters using a one-sample t-test. Results: It was discovered that varied construction orientations affect dimensional correctness, translucency, and dynamic qualities. Vertical-printed zirconia is denser and translucent than horizontally-printed zirconia. Conclusions: Nonetheless, zirconia that has been printed horizontally has remarkable precision and mechanical qualities. Stress and poor adhesion between the layers of materials should be fixed.
