ABSTRACT:
Purpose: Based on a review of the latest materials for additive technologies in fixed prosthodontics, the authors aim to critically analyse the current scientific information on the mechanical and physical properties of composites with ceramic fillings for 3D printing.
Material/Methods: A keyword search of scientific sources was conducted in Google Scholar, PubMed, EBSCOhost, MDPI, Wiley online library without fixing a period. Study selection was based on specific eligibility criteria, incorporating both the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results: Initially, the literature sources identified by keywords consisted of 3,653 items. Of these, 693 were removed due to duplicate records, 956 records marked as ineligible by automation tools were also excluded. 1,237 were excluded for other reasons: 369 short communications, 471 case reports and 397 other documents. Of the remaining papers, 305 abstracts were excluded. Of the 462 reports sought for retrieval, 140 were removed due to irrelevance to the topic. The reports assessed for eligibility were 322, of which 251 articles were excluded. After this selection of the literature sources, 71 scientific publications relevant to the specific topic of this literature review remained.
Conclusions: The rapid introduction of 3D printing into dentistry on a global scale has led to a justifiable need for new, in-depth studies of composite materials with ceramic fillings.
Keywords: composites with ceramic fillings, dental ceramics, dental composites, dental materials for 3D crowns,
