Abstract

This study evaluated the effect of oral cavity environmental factors on the friction and wear of materials used in 3D-printed orthodontic devices. Commercial materials GR-10 (Pro3Dure) and NextDent SG (NextDent) were examined, with samples produced using ASIGA UV MAX and Phrozen Shuffle Lite 3D printers. Our tests included measurements of hardness, stiffness, elastic modulus, cyclic loading, scratch resistance, and tribological assessments in oscillatory motion. Surface analyses were conducted using scanning electron microscopy with an energy-dispersive spectroscopy analyzer. The results showed that NextDent SG exhibited higher hardness and modulus of elasticity, while GR-10 demonstrated better scratch resistance. Despite similar friction coefficients, significant variations in wear were observed under different environmental conditions, highlighting the importance of considering these factors in the performance of orthodontic materials.
