Additive manufacturing of dental polymers: An overview on processes, materials and applications
This review explores the use of four main additive manufacturing processes (SLA, MJ, DLP, FDM) to process polymers for creating various dental applications like dentures, surgical guides, and orthodontic appliances. While the potential is high, the field is still developing, particularly regarding the need for more biocompatible, durable, and easily processed polymers suitable for long-term intraoral use.

Piezo-catalysis for nondestructive tooth whitening
Researchers explored a new tooth whitening method using piezoelectric nanoparticles (BTO) that generate reactive oxygen species when vibrated, simulating toothbrushing. In-vitro tests showed effective stain removal from teeth stained with various agents, and negligible damage to enamel compared to hydrogen peroxide. The process is proposed as a biocompatible and nondestructive alternative to traditional whitening methods.
