Key Points

To examine the effects of electrospun zirconia nanofibers on the properties of 3D-printed self-healing denture base resin composites.
Used a combined approach of electrospinning and 3D printing
Assessed fracture toughness and flexural strength
Evaluated healing efficiency under varying filler concentrations
Enhanced fracture toughness observed with the addition of nanofibers
Compromised flexural strength noted alongside increased toughness
Indicated need for optimizing filler concentrations for better performance

Abstract

The combined approach enhanced fracture toughness but compromised flexural strength and healing efficiency, indicating a trade-off between mechanical reinforcement and self-healing performance, highlighting the need for optimized filler concentrations.
