Key Points

  • The aim is to compare the overall performance of 3D-printed resins with traditional restorative materials.
  • Conducted a systematic review of in vitro studies
  • Analyzed performances of 3D-printed resins and conventional materials using network meta-analysis
  • 3D-printed resins underperformed compared to conventional restorative systems
  • Performance metrics indicated significant differences favoring conventional materials

Abstract

At present, 3D-printed resins for long-term single-unit restorations do not yet match the overall performance of established conventional restorative systems.
