Three-dimensional (3D) resin medical-dental devices have been increasingly used in recent
years after the emergence of digital technologies. In Orthodontics, therapies with aligners …

Introduction Orthodontic aligners printed with in-office 3-dimensional (3D) procedures have
been described, but no data on their biocompatibility exist. This study investigates the …

Aim To quantitatively assess the degree of conversion and the water-leaching targeted
compound from 3D-printed aligners. Materials and methods 3D-printed aligners were made …

Use of thermoplastic material in orthodontics, either as aligner or as retainer appliances, is
common practice and is likely to increase in the years to come. However, no systematic …

This article provides an overview of removable orthodontic retainers, discussing their history
and the different types available, and compares the two most popular removable retainers …

This chapter discusses the concerns arising from the increasing use of composite resins
