Abstract

This article analyses modern 3D-printed materials used in dentistry for temporary restoration. It considers the main types of materials used in additional production technologies, their physical and mechanical characteristics, biological flexibility features, and impact on the condition of oral tissues. Particular attention is paid to comparing standard photopolymer resins, hybrid nanocomposite materials, and high-strength resins, such as PMMA, in terms of their clinical application and safety.
